Multi-Zone Layouts

Multi-Zone Layouts: Maximise Screen Space with Smarter Digital Signage

When it comes to digital signage, content is king—but how that content is displayed is just as important. With multi-zone layouts, screens can be divided into multiple content areas, allowing businesses to display a mix of information on a single screen without losing clarity or impact.

NowSignage offers powerful, customisable multi-zone layout functionality, enabling users to build flexible screen experiences that adapt to their environment - whether it’s a retail store, office reception, QSR menu board, or live event space.

What Are Multi-Zone Layouts?

Multi-zone layouts allow you to split a single screen into multiple “zones,” with each zone showing different types of content at the same time. For example, you can show a promotional video in one zone, live social media in another, and a weather feed or news ticker along the bottom.

This allows organisations to maximise the value of every screen, delivering more information, entertainment, or engagement in a single view.

Why Multi-Zone Layouts Matter

In environments where attention spans are short and content needs are diverse, multi-zone layouts allow you to communicate more, faster, and with greater impact. Rather than flipping through full-screen slides or limiting your message to one topic, NowSignage users can deliver layered, context-rich content that speaks to multiple audiences at once.
