What is ArcGIS Experience Builder, and Why is It Important?
ArcGIS Experience Builder is a versatile, web-based application development platform from Esri. It enables GIS professionals and web developers to build modern, engaging, and responsive web experiences—without writing code. By dragging and dropping widgets, maps, and data sources into pre-built or custom layouts, users can create compelling dashboards, data exploration tools, and interactive storytelling websites.
Experience Builder is important because it:
- Simplifies application development: Anyone with ArcGIS user rights can quickly design and configure apps that leverage GIS data, maps, and services.
- Offers flexibility: Customizable templates and widgets allow you to build anything from simple data viewers to complex analytics portals.
- Emphasizes responsiveness: All experiences are mobile-friendly out of the box, so your audience can access information on any device.
- Fosters collaboration: By integrating with ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, you can securely share experiences with specific groups or the public.
Key takeaways
