WhichWay

Based in Deinze, Belgium, WhichWay is a specialized communications agency that focuses on the intersection of spatial strategy, user experience, and safety communication. Founded in 2016, the firm operates within the Flemish region, serving a diverse range of clients from healthcare institutions to commercial real estate developers. With Belgium’s complex regulatory environment and multilingual population, the need for clear, intuitive signage and wayfinding is particularly acute, and WhichWay has carved out a distinct niche in this space.

What WhichWay Does

At its core, WhichWay helps organizations design and implement signage systems that are logical, safe, and user-friendly. The agency’s work begins with a deep analysis of floor plans, user flows, and the overall spatial experience. From there, they develop comprehensive wayfinding strategies, including directional signage, zone signaling, and emergency communication systems. Their approach combines spatial insight with communications expertise, ensuring that technical requirements are met without sacrificing aesthetics. Whether it’s an evacuation plan, a pictogram system, or a complete branding identity for a building, WhichWay’s output is designed to bring clarity and calm to even the most complex environments.

Services and Specialties

WhichWay’s service offering is tightly focused on environmental graphic design and safety communication. Based on their keywords and project descriptions, their core capabilities include:

• Wayfinding and directional signage strategy
• User journey mapping and routing analysis
• Safety communication and emergency signage
• Zone structuring and facility signage
• Environmental graphic design (EGD)
• Pictogram development and iconography
• Spatial strategy and UX for built environments

These services are not offered as standalone marketing exercises but as integral parts of a building’s operational and safety infrastructure. WhichWay’s work is particularly valued in settings where multiple user groups—patients, visitors, staff, or the public—must navigate shared spaces efficiently and safely.

Who They Serve

WhichWay’s client base is diverse but centers on organizations that manage complex, high-traffic environments. Typical projects include hospitals and care facilities, where clear signage can be a matter of patient safety and staff efficiency. They also work with corporate offices, schools, government buildings, shopping centers, hotels, and hospitality venues. In each case, the goal is the same: to reduce confusion, improve safety, and enhance the overall user experience. WhichWay frequently collaborates with architects, builders, and facility managers, stepping in during the design phase to ensure that signage is considered from the start rather than as an afterthought. As part of the Yver group, WhichWay benefits from a broader network of expertise while maintaining its specialized focus on spatial communication.
