Signage Details is the first and only subscription-based resource hub designed specifically for sign companies, offering over 60,000 downloads of proven industry-standard, permit-ready commercial wall sign section details that can be seamlessly integrated into any set of drawings in as little as 60 seconds, regardless of the design program used.
Our patent-pending intuitive Select-A-Sign tool streamlines the process of designing the right section detail, acting as a comprehensive checklist for all the essential information needed to create accurate, custom-tailored plans. Our platform covers section details for any commercial wall sign installed on the 8 most common construction wall types and addresses 9 electrical access field conditions. All files are available in AI, CDR, EPS, JPG, and PDF.
Beyond wall signs, our resources extend to monument signs, featuring interior cabinet framing, saddle connections to steel pipes, and preliminary footing details. We also offer a variety of additional resources, such as field survey sheets, permit drawing templates, blocking details, and more.
John Nauta began his career in the sign industry over 25 years ago. His ability to quickly master CorelDRAW and develop a deep understanding of sign fabrication and installation methods enabled him to rapidly advance from production designer to Design Director. Despite his team’s extensive experience in creating section install details, John noticed that significant time was wasted each month searching for files and modifying wall types, attachment methods, electrical provisions, and sign types. This insight—and his personal belief in going all in without looking back—led him to develop SignageDetails.com.
“All in. No regrets. No what ifs.”
— John Nauta
In 2021, John founded Signage Details, an online subscription service designed to be the ultimate resource hub for sign companies worldwide. The platform’s patent-pending intuitive Select-A-Sign tool allows users to create comprehensive section details for fabricating and installing commercial signs and integrate them into their plans in as little as 60 seconds, regardless of the design program they use.
Signage Details is designed to do more than just provide details—it’s about boosting productivity. Its extensive library saves business owners thousands of hours each year, allowing them to approve jobs faster and invoice customers more quickly. Beyond a resource, it serves as a learning tool that empowers designers to master sign fabrication and installation. Design managers can lead discussions by printing multiple details, helping their teams spot differences and improve through repetition. The faster designers recognize these nuances, the quicker they can produce customized details, increasing their value to the company and enhancing overall productivity.
