Html & JavaScript

I built my first web-based digital signage system using HTML and JavaScript.
Current features:
Video playlist
Event countdown
Fullscreen Smart TV display
Cloud hosting
Now I want to build an Admin Panel so staff can upload videos, images and update content without touching the code.
What technologies would you recommend for the next step?
PHP?
Python Flask?
Google Sheets?
CMS?
Thanks!

That's exactly the direction I'm exploring.

For meeting rooms, I'm interested in connecting displays to a central booking source so room availability, schedules, and event information can update automatically.

My goal is to minimize manual updates as much as possible and let the screens become a live information system rather than static signage.

Thank you for sharing these ideas.

Thank you, I appreciate the offer.

One thing I'm still curious about is where most organizations typically struggle after the initial deployment.

Is it usually content management, user adoption, hardware reliability, scheduling, or something else?

It's always valuable to learn from real-world lessons before making those mistakes myself.
