Vertical digital signage, without the headaches

Vertical (portrait) digital signage is any screen mounted the tall way up — ideal for posters, menus, wayfinding and lobby welcome screens. With Fugo you design portrait content in the browser, drop it into playlists, schedule it and manage every portrait screen across sites from one dashboard.

Why teams choose portrait screens

Portrait orientation fits tall spaces and tall content. A screen turned on its side reads like a poster, so it suits promotions, menus and directories that people scan on the move.

Fits tight, tall spaces

Pillars, entrances, shop windows and lift lobbies are often too narrow for a landscape screen. A portrait display fits where a wide one cannot.

Reads like a poster

People already know how to read a portrait poster. Menus, promotions and directories feel natural the tall way up.

Either orientation, any screen

Fugo runs the same way in portrait or landscape. Rotate the display, match your content to it, and publish.

Design in the browser

Build portrait content in Design Studio or start from a template. No design software and no separate export step.

Manage every screen from one place

Group portrait screens by location, push content to all of them at once, and see which are online from one dashboard.

Runs on the players you own

Fugo is hardware-agnostic. Use the media players and commercial displays you already have, so long as the display can rotate.

Best use cases for portrait screens

Most portrait deployments fall into a handful of patterns. Start with one and add more as you see what gets attention.

Digital posters and promotions

Full-height campaign creative in windows, entrances and aisle-ends that changes without a reprint.

Menu boards

Tall menu columns for cafes, quick-service and counters, with day-parting for AM and PM menus.

Wayfinding and directories

Building directories and directional signage that read cleanly in a portrait column.

Retail and shelf-edge

Product highlights and offers at the point of decision, sized to fit narrow retail spaces.

Lobby and welcome screens

Portrait welcome screens by the front desk that greet visitors and show what’s on today.

Notices and announcements

Company notices, event schedules and safety information in corridors and shared spaces.

Vertical digital signage FAQs

What is vertical digital signage?

Vertical digital signage is a screen mounted in portrait orientation — taller than it is wide. It suits posters, menus, wayfinding and lobby welcome screens, where content reads naturally in a tall column.

Can Fugo run screens in portrait mode?

Yes. Fugo runs the same in portrait or landscape. Rotate your display, set your content to match the portrait orientation, and publish it to that screen from the dashboard.

How do I design portrait content?

Build it in Fugo’s Design Studio on a portrait canvas, or start from a portrait template and add your own branding, images and live content. Everything is done in the browser — no separate design software.

What hardware do I need for portrait signage?

A commercial display or TV that can be rotated to portrait, plus a compatible media player. Fugo is hardware-agnostic, so you can use the players you already own. For always-on deployments, commercial-grade displays rated for continuous use are the safer choice.

Can I manage lots of portrait screens across sites?

Yes. You can group screens by location, push the same portrait content to every site at once or target specific screens, and monitor which screens are online — all from one dashboard. Fugo is priced per screen; see pricing.
