Change your message in seconds
Digital LED signs let you update your sign from a computer or phone instead of climbing a ladder with plastic letters. Promote today's special, announce events, welcome visitors or share your hours — and change it again tomorrow. Bright LED displays catch the eye of passing traffic and keep your sign fresh, so even regular customers keep noticing it.
Smart Signs Denver helps businesses, churches, schools and organizations across the metro choose, size and install digital LED signs, either as standalone displays or built into a monument or pylon sign.
Digital sign options
Choosing the right display
The key decisions are size, resolution and brightness. Size and resolution (pixel pitch) depend on how far away your viewers are and how fast they are moving — a sign read from a busy arterial road needs larger characters than one read from the sidewalk. Brightness must cut through bright Colorado sunshine, but should dim automatically at night. We'll recommend a display that fits your location, your budget and the local sign code.
Local rules for digital signs
Many cities regulate electronic message signs — how often the message can change, how bright the sign can be at night and whether animation is allowed. We help make sure your sign is set up to comply, so you can use it with confidence.
Who benefits most
- Churches, schools and community organizations announcing events.
- Restaurants and retailers promoting daily specials.
- Businesses on busy roads with lots of drive-by traffic.
- Any business whose offers or events change often.
Installation and support
We handle mounting, power connection planning and set-up, and show you how to update your messages when the sign is installed. If your display ever needs service, our crew and bucket truck can reach it.
Making the most of your display
A digital sign works best with short, bold messages: one idea per screen, a few words at most, and high-contrast colours. Rotate a handful of messages instead of cramming everything onto one screen, and schedule content around your busiest hours. We're happy to share tips when we hand the sign over.
What affects the price
The biggest factors are display size, resolution (pixel pitch), full colour versus single colour, whether the display is single- or double-sided, and the structure it mounts to. Higher resolution costs more but shows sharper graphics and more text at closer range. We'll help you balance readability and budget for your location.
Frequently asked questions
How do I update the message on a digital sign?
Most modern LED displays are updated with software on a computer or through a phone app. We walk you through it when the sign is installed.
Are LED signs bright enough in daylight?
Outdoor LED displays are designed to be readable in direct sun and can dim automatically after dark so they aren't harsh at night.
Can a digital sign be added to our existing monument sign?
It depends on the structure and the space available. We can assess your sign and recommend options.
Do digital signs need special permits?
Electronic message signs are often regulated separately from other signs. We help confirm what's allowed at your location.
