Create a Message

Messages are longer-form text tiles — perfect for staff updates, daily inspiration, or detailed information that needs more than a headline.

    Write your message

    Use the optional Title for context (e.g. "Today's Quote", "Notice"). The Body is a larger text area — aim for under 50 words so it still reads from across a room. Pick a calm, high-contrast color combo (white text on near-black works wonders for long passages).

Tips & Common Issues

  • Long messages are hard to read on rotating displays. Keep messages under 50 words; split longer content into multiple tiles.
  • Avoid all-caps for body text — it's harder to read at a distance and feels like shouting.
  • For super-short notices ("Now Hiring", "Closed Today"), use an Announcement instead — bigger headline, less body text.
