Wayfinding Systems: ADA Signs, Interior Signs, & Environmental Signage
From small businesses to large enterprises, more companies are adopting wayfinding systems to enhance navigation for visitors, customers, and employees—all while reinforcing their brand identity.
A thoughtfully designed wayfinding system offers numerous benefits for your business.
What Are Wayfinding Systems?
Wayfinding, at its core, is about helping people navigate spaces. Whether you’re in a hospital, college campus, office complex, school, or government building, wayfinding systems provide clear and concise information to guide you to your destination.
Why Is Wayfinding Important for Your Brand?
Wayfinding does more than direct people—it communicates your brand’s identity. By incorporating cohesive design elements such as:
- Murals
- Brand color palettes
- Fonts and styles
Wayfinding systems can set your property apart and make a lasting impression.
ADA Wayfinding Signs
ADA Signage for Accessibility
While not every business is required to comply with ADA standards, many larger organizations, schools, and government offices must—or choose to—implement ADA-compliant signage. These signs improve accessibility and inclusivity by incorporating:
- Braille
- High-contrast colors
- Larger fonts for better visibility and readability
At Ortwein Sign, we specialize in creating ADA-compliant signage tailored to your needs.
