Experience Builder

Experience Builder

Experience builder is a low/no code configurable web app showcasing geospatial data from ESRI technologies. It provides the capability to choose form different templates, web maps, apps, pages, widgets, 2D/3D data and a drag/drop interface. Further customization is available to build custom widgets, themes, and actions with low-code development.

Experience builder webapps have been developed for a wide variety of government, private, and business solutions for environmental concerns, and emergency response, among others.

Example 1:

The National Centers for Environmental Information developed the Marine Microplastic Concentrations map (below) that visualized the microplastics in the global oceans. The experience builder provides Map Viewer and Data Viewer features, as well as filtering options for visualizing the different types of microplastics. The design of the experience builder is customizable.
