Everything you need, from destination to print file.
From the first destination to the print-ready file, WayX handles the layout, the checks it runs and the export. No Illustrator or design team required. For airports, hospitals, metro and transit systems, bus terminals, municipalities, campuses, venues and the agencies that serve them.
Multi-message signs
Stack any number of destinations. WayX groups them by direction, balances the columns and shares one arrow per direction group. It's the way real airport signs work.
Direction logic
Up floats to the top of the hierarchy. Left and right resolve to their columns. The layout stays balanced automatically as you add destinations.
Pictograms built in
50 professionally drawn wayfinding icons in every kit, mapped to destinations. Swap any icon, or bring your own.
Bilingual hierarchy
Primary and secondary languages on every row, sized and weighted consistently. A WayX convention, and named as one.
Brand kit
Type your colors swatch by swatch and upload your fonts and logos. WayX applies them to the navigation palette, and the kit palette does not reach the safety colors.
Production export
Export SVG and PDF at exact size. The print PDF carries bleed and CMYK, with text as outlines.
What it does not do
WayX is not a general design tool. It makes wayfinding signs and nothing else. It does not draft a sign from a description. There is no AI in it; the layout is computed from the destinations you type, and the standards decide the rest.
It checks no state or city building code on the directional sign. California and Texas have been read; under California the room sign is also held to CBC 11B-703, in part (11B-703.2.4, 11B-703.3.2 and 11B-703.5.7 on rows of their own), and its verdict names the rest of 11B as not consulted. Otherwise a US sign is held to federal ADA, and where a local code applies WayX says so rather than assuming the sign meets it.
It does not vouch for what a drawing cannot see. The room sign is drawn to the raised character and braille clauses of the ADA as far as a drawing can: §703.2.2, 703.2.3, 703.2.4, 703.2.5, 703.2.6, 703.2.7, 703.2.8, 703.3.1 and 703.3.2. Some things a drawing cannot see: raised depth, braille dot height and shape, the stroke and spacing as built, a non-glare finish, the braille compared with the proof, mounting height and the location beside the door. The verdict names each as owed by the fabricator or the installer. It also says whether a credentialed braille transcriber has reviewed the braille; until one has, WayX does not vouch for the translation.
On every other sign type it checks two clauses of §703.5: 703.5.5 and 703.5.6. It does not check §703.5.1, 703.5.2, 703.5.3, 703.5.4, 703.5.7, 703.5.8 and 703.5.9, and its own verdict names them. Proportions (§703.5.4) and stroke thickness (§703.5.7) are measured when you upload a font, but not on the sign itself. Text contrast is a WayX baseline rather than a legal finding, and ISO 3864-1 safety layouts are checked as advice for signs placed in the EU only, with unverified thresholds marked as such.
It does not judge every sign at every size. The directional sign is solved on both axes: it lays out at the size you set, or refuses and tells you the size it needs. The room sign is measured as drawn at the size you set, and refuses a plate smaller than its content. The poster, ISO safety, warning, sticker, window, document and bulletin are solved at one reference size each. Away from it the panel returns no verdict at all and names the size at which verdicts resume, rather than judge a layout the engine did not compute.
