We’re passionate exponents of accessibility and that’s true of every aspect of the Place Experience Platform, from meeting and exceeding digital accessibility standards, through to making it easier for people to visit places and spaces. In line with this, we’ve recently developed new functionality to make it much simpler for end users of the Place Experience Platform to find the accessible facilities and amenities they need, when planning and undertaking a visit. 

Two screengrabs of the Events Wiltshire website, showing the accessibility filters for searching for events, and list of amenities available at an event, including Disabled Parking, Hearing Loop, Wheelchair accessible.It’s now possible to search, filter and display all of the accessible amenities provided in an area, the results of which are clearly displayed on a map alongside other useful and relevant information. Even better, when the user is physically in the place, the location aware nature of the content helps with establishing proximity to an amenity and wayfinding.

Five overlapping images: 1 Location feature menu. 2 A map with pins for event locations. 3 Photo of person using a laptop at an out door table with a hot drink. 4 Amenities filter list, with toilet facilities and Working Hearing Loop selected. 5 Image, date and title of four events.The new feature has shipped to the Wiltshire events site and the accompanying Explore Wiltshire App. Both are powered by a single Content Management System making it simple and quick to publish across multiple platforms at once.
