Introducing easyCMS Studio: Digital Signage Anyone Can Run From a Phone

easyCMS Studio is digital signage made for people who are not IT experts: pick a template, change the words on your phone and send it to your screens. Pay once, no monthly fee.

Warsaw, 11 October 2026. Today we are launching easyCMS Studio, a new way to run digital signage that anyone can use from a phone. Pick a ready-made design, change the words, and send it to your screens. No training, no design skills, no computer needed.

“For sixteen years we have watched the same thing happen. The screen goes up, and the person who has to keep it current is a café owner, a school secretary or a duty manager, not an IT person. Studio is built for them. If you can send a photo from your phone, you can run your screens.”

Yves Benini, founder of easyCMS

Open Studio

Sign in with your usual easyCMS account, on your phone or your computer. Nothing to install.

Why we built it

Digital signage software, ours included, was made for specialists: layouts, regions, playlists, schedules. That is fine for an agency. It is not fine for the person who just wants the lunch offer on the screen before 11:30.

So we rebuilt the everyday part from scratch, around the phone in your pocket. Here is what changes:

What you want to do Before With Studio
Put up a lunch offer Open a layout editor on a computer, place the text, schedule it Pick “Lunch deal”, type the price, tap Play on…
Close for the day Make a new layout and schedule it on every screen Urgent notice, “Closed today”, on all screens in two taps
Change a price Edit every menu board, one by one Change it once in Menu & prices; every board follows
Add a new screen Find the CMS address and key in an old email Studio shows them and finds the screen by itself

What makes Studio different

Made for your phone

Designed on a phone first: big buttons, plain words, one job per page. Add it to your home screen; there is no app to install.

Pay once, no monthly fee

Studio comes with every easyCMS account: 49€ once, with your first screen included. No subscription, no fee per screen.

More than 200 ready-made designs

For restaurants, shops, schools, clinics, hotels, gyms, factories, stadiums and churches. Change the words and it is ready.

Menus and prices in one list

Change a price once and every menu board follows. Mark a dish sold out from your phone.

An urgent notice in two taps

Closed today, fire alarm test, running late: one message on every screen at once, and Stop puts everything back.

The right thing at the right time

Breakfast every weekday at 07:00, a weekend offer, or hot chocolate only on cold days. Set it once.

Never a blank screen

Each screen keeps its content, so it carries on playing when the Wi-Fi drops.

Works with the screens you have

Android, Windows, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen. Many commercial screens need no extra box at all.

In your language

Studio speaks English, French, German and Spanish.

See it on a phone

Studio's Home page on a phone: four of four screens online, four showing a design, eleven photos and 48 dishes. Editing the Lunch deal template on a phone: five heading fonts, a text size slider and colour palettes. The urgent notice on a phone: Closed today, ready to show on all four screens.
Every screen at a glance, a design made yours in a minute, and an urgent notice ready to send.

A day with Studio

A café with four screens, on an ordinary Tuesday.

07:00 · Breakfast plays by itself

The breakfast board is set to repeat every weekday morning. Nobody touches anything.

11:15 · A new lunch special

Typed on the phone between two coffees: pasta of the day, 12€. Sent to the window screen.

14:00 · It starts to rain

The hot chocolate offer, set for wet days, takes over the window on its own.

15:30 · Sold out

The apple tart is gone. One tap in Menu & prices and every menu board drops it.

18:00 · Closing early

A burst pipe. Urgent notice, “Closed today”, on all four screens in two taps.

Designs for every kind of business

Studio asks once what kind of business you run, and shows those designs first. Nothing is hidden: you can search all of them, any time. See every one on our templates page.
