Directional Signs
Guide, Inform and Welcome Everyone with Wayfinding, Directional and ADA Signs!
There are several important reasons to equip your building’s interior, parking lot and grounds with regulatory, wayfinding and ADA-compliant signage:
- When visitors can find their way easily through your facility, they’ll become less frustrated and more satisfied with their experience. Of course, for store and restaurant owners, well-positioned wayfinding signage can often mean the difference between a one-time visitor and a repeat customer!
- Most interior spaces are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and its standards for ADA signage. If you ignore the law’s many rules, you could be assessed a substantial penalty. Fines can reach as high as $50,000 in some (rare) instances for first-time offenders!
- Of course, it’s good citizenship to welcome those who are blind or have visual impairments with ADA braille signs. It’s good business, too! Visitors and customers will look favorably on retailers, dining establishments and others that welcome them with ample signage that adheres to ADA guidelines.
Wayfinding Signage: A Closer Look
Simply put, wayfinding as practiced by Signs Now Uptown Charlotte and others is about:
- Knowing where you are in a building or an environment.
- Learning where your desired destination is.
- Finding out how to get there from your current location.
“Where’s the entrance?” “How do I get to the County Clerk’s office?” “What floor is the Smith Company on?” “Where’s the check-out lane?” These are but a few of the questions that good wayfinding signage will answer for visitors or customers … without the need to stop and ask someone!
Most — but not all — wayfinding solutions involve signage. Sometimes colors or a special graphic theme may distinguish the Biology Department from the Math Department, for example, but most often it’s signage that does the primary job. And, that’s where a full-service signage resource like Signs Now Uptown Charlotte proves its worth.
