Interactive Kiosk Touchscreen Website
Deploy an interactive kiosk as a fullscreen touchscreen website: visitor info, check-in, FAQs, maps, forms, and QR handoff. Web-based, remotely managed, WCAG 2.1 AA.
Intent: decide — interactive kiosk touchscreen website in fullscreen mode
If you need a touchscreen website displayed in fullscreen for a lobby, museum, visitor center, or retail environment, this is the pattern: a fast home screen, large-touch navigation, and a clear “task lane” (search, map, check-in, browse).
Experience Goal
- Reduce staff interruptions (FAQ + wayfinding + directory)
- Increase engagement (browse modules + featured content)
- Keep flows simple (3 taps to the top tasks)

Common questions
Quick answers to help you scope a touchscreen website that runs in fullscreen mode.
What is an interactive kiosk website?
An interactive kiosk website is a web-based experience designed to run in fullscreen on a touchscreen so visitors can tap, search, and complete tasks like check-in, directory search, or browsing content.
Does it work without special kiosk hardware?
Yes. It runs in a standard browser on touchscreen PCs, all-in-ones, or wall displays—no proprietary player required.
How do we keep it accessible?
Use high-contrast themes, scalable type, large touch targets, and QR handoff for long content—aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA.
