COMING SOON ยท NORTHERN IRELAND
Going somewhere new shouldn't feel like a guessing game. HowTo? helps you see what a place looks like, understand how it works and know what to expect before you arrive.
Free for people to use. Built around accessibility, predictability and confidence.
THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
For many people, the hardest part of going somewhere new isn't getting there. It's not knowing what happens when you arrive.
See the outside, find the entrance and follow visual guidance before you ever walk through the door.
Understand where to go, how ordering works, how you pay, where toilets are and what to expect on arrival.
Get useful information about noise, busy periods, lighting and the sensory environment.
Practical accessibility information designed to tell you something useful, not simply show a symbol.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
HowTo? is being designed for anyone who benefits from greater predictability, including people experiencing social anxiety, autism, ADHD, sensory or communication difficulties, physical accessibility requirements, or simply the nerves that can come with somewhere unfamiliar.
WHY HOWTO?
HowTo? was inspired by my own experience of severe social anxiety and avoiding unfamiliar places simply because I didn't know what would happen when I walked through the door.
I wanted to build the thing I wish I'd had: somewhere you can look before you go and understand the experience , not just the address.
Aaron, Founder of HowTo?
THE HOWTO? COMMUNITY
HowTo? is being built to grow beyond venue information. Community experiences will help people understand predictability, sensory environments, physical accessibility, communication and whether venue information reflects the real experience.
