What We Do
We Help Bridge the Gap Between Design & Fabrication
Signage projects move through many different hands.
Architects develop the building and design intent. Engineers evaluate technical requirements when needed. Sign companies price and manage the work. Fabricators build it. Installers make it work in the field.
The Signitects works between those teams.
We help turn concepts, drawings, schedules, plans and project requirements into clearer signage information that can move from one stage to the next.
Better Information.
Better Handoffs.
Better Signage Projects.

Installation & Project Support
Location information, installation details, revisions, coordination and documentation that help the project continue into the field.
Start with one stage or bring us in across several. The level of support is based on what your project actually needs.
Why Documentation Matters
Good Signage Starts
with Good Information
Many signage problems do not begin in fabrication.
They begin earlier.
- Missing dimensions
- Unclear locations
- Incomplete sign schedules
- Conflicting information
- Undefined sign types
- Design intent that never made it into the drawings
- Revisions that were never coordinated
By the time those issues reach production or installation, fixing them can become significantly more difficult.
The Signitects focuses on making signage information clearer earlier in the process.
Not because every project needs more paperwork.
Because the right information needs to reach the right person at the right time.

Knowledge Center
The Sign Industry
Knowledge Center
The Signitects is building more than a service company. We are building a practical knowledge resource for the sign industry.
The Knowledge Center is being developed to help sign professionals research unfamiliar sign types, understand terminology, explore materials and processes, train employees and find practical information while working through real signage projects.
With hundreds of existing resources already on the website, the goal is to organize that information into a searchable sign-industry knowledge database.

Academy
The Knowledge Center helps answer a question.
The Academy will help teach the entire process.
Training someone for the sign industry should not require starting from zero every time a new employee walks through the door.
The Signitects Academy is being developed as structured professional education specifically for the commercial sign industry.
Courses will help companies train new employees, strengthen existing teams and create a more consistent understanding of how signage projects move through the industry.

Questions
Are you only a graphic design company?
No. Graphic design is one of our primary services, but The Signitects supports many stages of the signage process including signage drawings, takeoffs, ADA and wayfinding documentation, project documentation, permit and shop drawing support, ongoing design assistance and sign-industry consulting.
Do you only work with sign companies?
Sign companies are a major part of our business, but we can also support architects, engineers, general contractors, developers, property teams, fabricators and other organizations working through signage projects.
Do you provide engineering?
The Signitects provides signage design and documentation support and can help prepare project information for engineering coordination when engineering is required. Professional engineering, stamped calculations or sealed documents must be completed by the appropriate licensed professional when required.
Can we hire you for only part of a project?
Yes. You can use The Signitects for one drawing, a few hours of design work, a takeoff, a larger drawing package, overflow support or ongoing assistance. Our role can be adjusted around the needs of your existing team.
Can you work with our existing drawing standards?
Yes. If your company already has title blocks, drawing standards, file naming conventions, typical details or established workflows, we can discuss working within the system your team already uses.
Are you a sign manufacturer or installer?
The Signitects primarily focuses on design, drawings, documentation, project support, education and consulting. When a project requires fabrication or installation, we can coordinate with the sign companies, fabricators, installers and other project partners involved in the work.
