    Fill in headline, subtext, and colors

    Type your HEADLINE (5–7 words is ideal — "Now Hiring", "Free Wi-Fi", "Open Today"). Add SUBTEXT for supporting info under 12 words. Pick a BACKGROUND color (or upload an image), then tune the HEADLINE and BODY TEXT colors so everything contrasts — white-on-bright or dark-on-light.

Tips & Common Issues

  • •Use no more than two fonts/colors per announcement — clean reads better from a distance.
  • •Test from across the room. If you can't read it from 10 feet away, make the text bigger or boost contrast.
  • •For seasonal messages (Halloween, holiday hours), create them all at once and just toggle them On/Off as needed instead of rebuilding each season.
