How we design a digital directory system

When we are working with you to create your digital directory, there are multiple design suggestions that we will review with you. We have pulled together some design principles that will help guide you through making the right decisions. These suggestions will assist you in making sure that your digital directory meets the needs of your customers and visitors.

1. Selecting the right orientation

There are two orientations available; portrait, and landscape. The orientation of the directory will depend on the total number of listings you have, the size of the display, and how much space you have to mount the display. You may also want to consider whether you will be placing multiple displays next to one another.

2. Make it easy to read

It might seem like a given, but legibility is the most important aspect of your digital directory. It can be challenging in the design process, but the directory font sizes must be large enough to be recognizable from a distance.

For individuals standing just a few feet away, it is important that the size and font selections be appropriate. Sans Serif font and depend on the size of the display, 20-30 point font is recommended. Take into consideration that some individuals may not have the same eyesight capabilities as you do.

3. Well-balanced

When it comes to the visual layout of the directory listings, we recommended the proper balance of white space. This will help the directory not look overcrowded. It is also recommended that the use of bold font, images, varying colors, and sizes to be limited to just the sections that you desire to have emphasized to be called out over the other sections within the directory. If the listings do not fill up the entire screen, it is okay because it will be beneficial to the reader.

4. Use of images

When it comes to utilizing directory images, it will be important to ensure they are the appropriate size, eye-catching, and high-resolution. One image that you might consider using is a map layout of your building. A map tremendously helps visitors with a visual representation of the building, where they are, and where they need to go. You can also the choice to add individual images of tenants, example: an image of a doctor from one of the practices listed in the directory.

Another option is adding a short description of the tenant and or contact information. We will make sure to leave adequate white space between images so that there is a visual gap between the text and the image itself. When selecting images, please make sure that they are images that your company has the legal rights to leverage.

5. Branding

The theme for the digital directory should align with the same theme that is being leveraged on all of your promotion materials and website. This should include your organization fonts styles, logo and same color palates. If there no specific company branding that the digital directory is supporting, then we can apply more freedom the overall design them. If multiple businesses are listing, we always suggest a professional layout and use more generic colors.

6. Organizing the digital directories listings

Some suggestions include having the directory listings organized by a particular category, suite number, per floor, or alphabetized format. If you choose the category approach, we recommend alphabetizing each listing within each category. The categories should not contain the same font size and color as the sub-listings. Using alternate font styles will assist with the easiness to the eye.

7. Keep it simple

Have a design strategy will make sure that you do not go astray from the overall goal with this digital directory. While there are several possibilities, the design should be aligned to meet your overall objectives. In other words, don’t get so creative that people have no idea that your digital directory is, in fact, a digital directory. While there are a lot of design options available, it will be helpful to your building visitors if there is some level of consistency on the overall layout.
