Everything you need to design a sign.

A short guide to the editor, the direction logic, the standards engine, and export.

Getting started

Open the editor, add your first destination, and pick its direction and pictogram. WAYX places it on the sign and starts validating immediately. Add more destinations and watch the layout balance itself by direction.

How direction grouping works

Each destination has a direction. WAYX groups consecutive destinations that share a direction and gives the group one shared arrow. 'Up' always ranks highest and floats to the top of its column; left and right resolve to their respective columns; the columns balance by row count.

Reading the compliance panel

The compliance panel checks six standards live: contrast (WCAG 2.1), safety colour discipline (ISO 3864), legibility distance (DIN 1450), wayfinding continuity (FAA), row density, and bilingual hierarchy (ICAO Annex 9). Each turns green when it passes; the Skytrax readiness score rolls them up into a 1–5 rating.

Applying a brand kit

Upload a brandbook or set colours and fonts manually. WAYX applies them to the neutral navigation palette only — safety colours stay locked to ISO 3864. Uploading a custom font also fixes Cyrillic in PDF export.

Exporting for print

Choose SVG, PDF, or PNG. Print formats include real millimetre sizing, bleed, crop marks, and a CMYK option. Convert text to curves so the print shop doesn't need your fonts.
