How to Get The Ideal Sign Design For Your Metal Signs

It's much easier than you might think!

You've worked hard to make your business stand out in the crowd, so don't you think you ought to have the signage to match? Considering the tension which can come with maintaining your business from day to day, you can rest easy knowing that designing your metal sign is easier than you think. While you can still head to an office and sit down with a consultant to design your metal sign, there are more options out there to take into consideration when preparing to order a custom sign.

I like sitting down with my graphic designer to design my custom signage, can't I just do that?

Of course! Here at TheSignChef, we take pleasure in having you in our place of work and walking you through the design process. You'll be able to check out different metal measurements, thicknesses and colors to choose what best suites you. This really is great if it's your very first time customizing your own metal sign and aren't fully sure how to start.

After the materials are chosen, you will be able to sit down with a member of our Art Department and together make your creation come to life. When setting up a session to come in, you will be advised exactly what electronic documents to bring along, such as your logo, a business card, or perhaps a few rough sketches of the appearance and feel you have planned for your metal sign. This helps narrow down the choices and helps make your design process run smoothly.

Once the design for your metal sign is complete, you'll be able to take a copy of your proof home for more consideration or place your order right then and there! The entire process takes less than an hour and then you'll be off and on your way, back to tend to your business or organization.

That would be great, but I live 2,000 (or even 20) miles away.

Many of our clients do not live in close proximity to our office or aren't able to stop in during the week.  But that doesn't stop them from creating the custom metal sign design they want! We provide a distinctive online service called SignMagic on our site where you are able to go through the design process at any time, anyplace and anywhere you can connect to the internet.

With the convenience of 24 hour access, it is possible to test different colors, shapes and dimensions for your metal sign, your phrasing and your company logo. And, we provide easy to understand video tutorials you can turn to just in case you find yourself lost in the process.

The SignMagic program lets you save any in-progress designs and come back to it when it's convenient to you. Your designs are filed in our database and are accessible for days, weeks and even months, giving you plenty of time to make sure the metal sign you have designed is just right. When you are ready to submit your design, our Art Department puts their experience to work, inspecting every last detail to ensure your metal sign design is top notch and ready to go to production. You can complete this process completely from the conveniences of your own house or small business!

Designing my sign from my own computer is right up my alley, but I still wouldn't mind if somebody walked me through the process!

For this purpose TheSignChef offers the best of both design worlds. In addition to the self service design option, SignMagic, we now present full-service Live Design - another service that is free of charge and comes with no commitments to buy. With Live Design you simply schedule an appointment with our graphic designer, sign into our website and answer our phone call. Right on your own screen you will be able to see what our graphic artist is designing for you, as you give continuing feedback.

Live Design appointments take an average of 33 minutes or less (trust us, we've done our research!) and finish when you have a copy of your new design. And there is no pressure to order. Live Design truly is the world's fastest way to get your metal signs professionally designed online!

Now that you know your options for getting the perfect metal sign design the choice is yours. And rest assured, TheSignChef will be there to answer your call no matter what you decide!
