Visix now offers four interactive digital signage packages for clients wanting touchscreen designs on a budget. The new “Templated Donor Board” and “Templated Hall of Fame Board” packages join the company’s “Templated Wayfinding” and “Templated Directory packages,” which have been refreshed with new designs and options.

Wayfinding and directories are two of Visix’s most popular offerings for touch screens. The company says it has seen a dramatic rise in requests over the past year for interactive donor boards to highlight patrons and encourage giving, and schools and campuses increasingly want a fun, interactive way to spotlight alumni, scholars, athletes, teams, clubs and other hall-of-famers.

Visix’s templated packages start with HTML5 designs built by its creative services team then are tailored to the client’s colors, fonts and branding. Visix software specialists install finished projects that can be on-premise or hosted in the cloud. Clients can update their project’s directory data any time via a “custom-built, user-friendly webpage.”

Each package gives clients a portrait or landscape design that includes two choice directories, quick sorting by alphabet or dates at the bottom of the screen, and ADA controls. Directory buttons at the top and bottom of the design let users of any height interact with the touch screen, and they can also toggle between dark and light design modes to avoid eye strain.

The Templated Wayfinding package includes all of the directory features, as well as three-floor maps or one campus map with a “You Are Here” indicator, mapping to 40 destinations with animated icons, and noted landmarks like restrooms, stairs, elevators and exits with a matching legend. Extra options like timeout screen slideshows and SMS integration to send directions to phones are easily added to any of the four base template packages.
