Soofa Sign Widgets 101: What Can Landowners Customize?
Here at Soofa, our engineering team is constantly working with landowners to create updates and new features on Soofa Signs. In early 2022, we updated the Soofa Sign layout, making widgets more accessible and customizable than ever before.
Our recent update included adding a Facebook widget to Soofa Signs, which allows landowners to add their community Facebook page and share updates with ease. Additionally, we launched the My Widgets feature on Soofa Talk, placing all widget customization in one space. As our team works to bring even more updates to Soofa Signs, here’s what widgets landowners can take advantage of now, and how they work.
