Sign printing/designing software
I'm looking to print a couple of very basic signs - basically a background sheet with some raised writing on there. I vaguely remember reading about a website or software which caters to that, but I forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone have suggestions?

It is very easy to do in Fusion 360, but that's probably overkill. I'm sure it can be done in OpenSCAD.

Possibly Tinkercad. Its online, is very simple to use and has several fonts available.
RE: Sign printing/designing software
Design something in Word/Powerpoint/Draw/CS ... save a PNG of the artwork; pipe it up to this or other sites like it (there's a ton of them).

And use the color change feature in Slicer to make the text layers a new color.

I have used this to make signs and convert logos to 3D prints. You could also make a basic design in Tinkercad.

Thank you kindly!

I'm sure it can be done in OpenSCAD.
Of course it can:
// Raised text in OpenSCAD
x_dim=100;
y_dim=20;
z_dim=5;
text_height=1;cube([x_dim,y_dim,z_dim]);
translate([x_dim/2,y_dim/2,z_dim]){
linear_extrude(height=text_height){
text("Raised text", halign="center", valign="center");
}
}

Cheerio,
