At Design Office, we design, manufacture and install high quality bespoke totem signage for businesses across Crewe, Nantwich, Middlewich, Chester and the wider Cheshire area. As experienced totem sign manufacturers and totem sign makers, every totem sign we create is tailored to your site, your brand and your customers, helping you stand out exactly where it matters most.
With their tall, freestanding design, totem signs in Cheshire are ideal for business parks, retail parks, hotels, commercial estates and large sites. Unlike smaller wall mounted signs that can blend into their surroundings, a professionally designed bespoke totem sign puts your business firmly in the spotlight, visible from a distance and impossible to ignore.
Whether you need to promote a single business, showcase multiple tenants, or provide clear directional signage, Design Office are a professional totem sign company and totem sign manufacturers who create a strong first impression and makes it easy for customers, clients and visitors to find you.
And first impressions really do matter.
Studies show that around 76% of people have entered a business they've never visited before purely because the signage caught their eye, while nearly 60% say poor or missing signage has put them off completely. Your commercial totem sign is often the first interaction someone has with your business, so it should reflect your quality, professionalism and personality from the very first glance.
What Are Totem Signs?
Totem signs are freestanding signs installed securely into the ground rather than attached to a building. You'll commonly see outdoor freestanding totem signs outside retail parks, office complexes, hotels and commercial developments throughout Cheshire.
At Design Office, we manufacture custom totem signs in Cheshire using durable, premium materials such as aluminium, steel and acrylic. This ensures your bespoke totem signage is weather resistant, long lasting, and a smart long term investment.
Because they're designed to command attention, totem signs in Crewe, Chester and Nantwich are particularly effective along busy roads, as well as within larger sites where visitors need clear guidance and professional wayfinding signage.

Maximum visibility – Easily seen from a distance
Multi-tenant options – Ideal for shared commercial sites
