Advice on electronic church signs

Can anybody offer suggestions about what to look for, where to buy, price ranges and anything else about electronic church signs? I did a Google search as a start and received a lot of information. It helps to get advice from people who either have the knowledge or already bought one without leaning so much on the businesses selling them. I would advise you approach a local sign company because you will need service as the years progress. National companies are a bit less expensive, but you’ll pay in the long term. There will be ordinances in your community as to what is allowed. Some residential areas only allow amber colored displays; commercial areas will allow full color. We made the mistake of getting a sign that has limited program-ability. Get a sign that can be updated as new software becomes available. We also have a thermometer connected to our sign so we display the temp. Everybody loves that!
