I need to get a sign made for the public wild space and I'm struggling to find a signmaker that will do it. Aside from recommendations for anyone who could make a weatherproof B/VI-accessible sign in the UK it would help to know:
* We have been told more visually impaired people are able to read raised text over braille. Is that likely, would raised text be the more inclusive option?
* We're planning to note the length of the nature path on the sign, which we assume would be helpful (please correct me on that though) but we also want to note the location of a bench. Is this practically useful?
* The bench is just off the main path, literally next to it. What would be the best way to indicate its location so it could be found. By distance from the sign?
* If you do use signage in community spaces or wish there were more, what other information might you want to have on the sign apart from the above, and contact details? We are reaching out to local organisations to raise awareness of the nature walk too.
