A workshop that explains itself
Wayfinding and a site for a shared machine shop used by forty makers a week.

Wayfinding, Web design
Forty people a week share the same machines, and almost none of them arrive at the same time. Every question they ask is a question someone answered yesterday.
We put the answers on the walls. The site carries the same system, so a member checking a setting on their phone sees the diagram that is already above the machine.
One system, two surfaces
The wall signs and the site are generated from the same source. When a machine is replaced, the workshop manager edits one record and both change. That was the requirement they cared about, and everything else followed from it.
Figures
12 stations
Members inducted each month
The signs did more in a fortnight than three years of reminder emails.
