Accessible Travel Review Website

Traveling with a disability can be tricky! My daughter uses a wheelchair, and we've found that information about accessibility on the web or in print can be difficult to find, and the people on the other end of the phone not always knowledgeable. Who better to provide information about accessibility than other travelers with disabilities? This website would allow people with disabilities and their families to rate locations on both the quality of the attraction, lodging, restaurant, etc. and how easy it was for them to get around. $300 would provide for funding for a good-quality script to handle the reviews and web hosting for a year; I put an additional $200 in the goal in hopes of covering some child care so I could finish the site more quickly. The script I'm currently thinking of is JReviews, with the GeoMaps add-on. Using a script such as this should minimize the amount of time I need to spend tweaking, important as the mom of a special-needs 11-year-old and a 3-year-old. :-)

About me: I'm currently a stay-at-home-mom to my 3-year-old, but in a previous life, I worked as an environmental planner. During the course of that job, I created (and maintained for some years) the website of the agency I worked for. As a volunteer, I also helped create and maintain the website of a local non-profit. As the mom of an 11-year-old with cerebral palsy who loves to travel (both the 11-year-old and the mom :-) ), I've often wished for a website like the one I'm proposing. Since no one else seems to have done it, I'm going to.
