Integrated Wayfinding

Wayfinding as a System, Not Just Signage
Finding your way around a site shouldn’t be confusing. At SignSite, we make it easy with digital navigation powered by Find My Way, integrated directly into clear, professional signage. Visitors can scan QR codes to get directions on their phone, while physical signs guide them through key points across the site, helping them move confidently from place to place.

Your Wayfinding Options

Every site has different operational requirements, visitor behaviours, and infrastructure constraints. At SignSite, we provide three structured approaches: a fully Integrated Wayfinding System, a Physical Signage System, or a Digital Navigation Overlay that enhances existing environments.

Integrated Wayfinding
Digital Navigation + Physical Signage

A coordinated navigation system that combines QR-based digital guidance with strategically placed physical signage. Visitors access step-by-step directions on their phone while environmental signage reinforces key routes and confirms decisions throughout the journey.

Benefits:
  • Easily manage complex or multi-building sites
  • Layered guidance at major decision points
  • Accessibility routing integrated into the system logic
  • Reduces directional confusion and staff interruptions
  • Adaptable as tenants or layouts evolve
  • Strong physical presence and brand visibility
  • Scalable framework for long-term site growth

By integrating digital precision with physical confirmation, this approach delivers a complete navigation ecosystem that combines the strengths of both systems.

Physical Signage System
Traditional Signage Only

A purpose-designed network of physical signage embedded within the built environment, guiding visitors through defined routes and spatial decision points across your site.

Benefits
  • Clear visual hierarchy within the environment
  • Architectural integration and brand reinforcement
  • Intuitive reference points along circulation paths
  • Immediate clarity from arrival to destination
  • Durable, long-term infrastructure solution
  • Suitable for stable, clearly defined layouts
Considerations
  • Layout or tenancy changes require physical update
  • Route structures are fixed once installed

Physical signage systems are highly effective where permanence, structure, and environmental cohesion are priorities.

Digital Navigation Overlay
QR-Based Wayfinding Enhancement

A lightweight digital navigation layer added to an existing signage environment. Visitors scan strategically placed QR codes and receive step-by-step directions directly on their mobile device.

Benefits
  • Rapid implementation using QR posters 
  • No requirement for expensive screens or hardware
  • Dynamic updates without replacing signage
  • Personalised routing from start point to destination
  • Accessibility-aware path selection
  • Cost-effective enhancement to existing systems
Considerations
  • Most effective when supported by clear physical reference points

Digital navigation overlays are ideal for sites seeking flexible, updatable guidance without undertaking a full signage redevelopment.

Why the Right System Matters:

Effective wayfinding improves visitor confidence, reduces operational disruption, supports accessibility compliance, and strengthens brand perception. Whether fully integrated, physical-only, or digitally enhanced, the right system ensures people can move confidently from arrival to destination.

How Digital Navigation and Signage Work Together

At SignSite, wayfinding isn’t just about installing signs, it’s about creating a connected experience that guides people naturally across your site. Every system starts with QR-based digital navigation, giving visitors step-by-step directions they can access instantly on their phone. Physical signage is then designed to complement this, reinforcing key routes and decision points so everyone can move with confidence.

How your visitors benefit:

Handles complex sites with ease

Whether your site is a campus, hospital precinct, shopping centre, or multi-building office complex, visitors can navigate without confusion.

Supports mobility accessibility

Routes can be planned to prioritise step-free access, ramps, lifts, and accessible entries, helping people with mobility needs choose paths that suit them.

Built to last

Combining digital navigation with purpose-designed signage ensures your wayfinding remains effective as your site evolves over time.

Clear directions at every step

Visitors can scan a QR code or follow clearly placed signs, making it easy to get where they need to go.

Reassurance through signage

Digital directions provide detailed guidance, while physical signs confirm the right way at critical points.

This approach gives your visitors confidence as they move around your site, helps them reach their destinations efficiently, and reflects the professionalism and care of your organisation.

Signage as Part of the Navigation Journey

With our integrated wayfinding signage solutions, the physical signage is designed to complement digital navigation, giving visitors clear guidance and confidence at every step. Each sign is carefully planned for its specific role, helping people move around your site smoothly and without uncertainty.

Totem Signs

Totem signs are freestanding vertical structures that provide an overview of a site, precinct, or facility. They typically incorporate a site map or directory to orient visitors upon arrival. Totems can include QR codes, allowing users to access digital wayfinding and step-by-step directions directly from their mobile device.

Installed: At main entrances, pedestrian arrival points, forecourts, and major decision-making nodes.

Wall Directories

Wall directories present a structured list of tenants, departments, or destinations within a building. They provide a clear snapshot of locations before visitors proceed further into the space. These signs can incorporate QR codes linking to digital navigation for seamless route guidance.

Installed: In building lobbies, reception areas, lift foyers, and primary entry points.

Blade Signs

Blade signs are panels mounted perpendicular to a wall, projecting into corridors to provide visibility from multiple directions. They support navigation along circulation paths and at key intersections.

Installed: Along corridors, near intersections, and outside departments or key destinations.

Suspended Signs

Suspended signs are ceiling-mounted panels designed to deliver clear directional information across open or high-traffic areas. They provide long-range visibility to support efficient movement.

Installed: In corridors, atriums, concourses, and large open-plan environments.

Directional Signage

Directional signage provides arrows and route information to guide movement throughout a facility. These signs reinforce pathways and key destinations within the wayfinding system.

Installed: At intersections, corridor junctions, lift lobbies, stairwells, and other transition points.

Identification Signage

Identification signage clearly labels rooms, departments, and facilities to confirm arrival at a destination. Where appropriate, identification signs can incorporate QR codes to provide additional digital information or navigation support.

Installed: Adjacent to doors, entryways, and access points throughout the building.

Pylon Signs

Pylon signs are tall, freestanding external structures designed for site identification and high-level wayfinding. They provide strong visual presence and are often used to display business names, tenant listings, or site branding.

Installed: At site perimeters, vehicle entry points, roadside frontages, and major access driveways.

Building Signage

Building signage identifies a property or tenancy and reinforces brand presence. This can include illuminated lettering, fabricated logos, or architectural signage elements integrated into the façade.

Installed: Mounted directly onto building façades, above main entrances, on parapets, or integrated into architectural features.

By combining QR-based digital navigation with purpose-built physical signage, your site becomes easier to navigate, more welcoming, and more professional. Visitors can find their way quickly and confidently, while your team benefits from a wayfinding system that is consistent and reliable.
