Working with Albert J. Nahas, author of Warriors Remembered was an honor. Nahas is a retired Army Colonel who served in Vietnam. In 2002 the idea for Warriors Remembered was born, Nahas then spent six years traveling, researching, photographing and interviewing fellow Vietnam Veterans to compile his finding into a coffee table formatted book. This book includes details of 100 Vietnam Memorials from all 50 states.

This project was a collaboration with Tagged Social Media, a Houston, TX based Outsourced Social Media Company. The existing WordPress website being utilized by Warriors Remembered was in need of updating and additional functionality. The original site was built with the Twenty Eleven WordPress theme that did not allow for the customization required to provide Nahas with the functionality he wanted on the site.

The initial scope of this project included adding a video gallery, reconnecting to social media profiles and most importantly adding a searchable database of the more than 1,000 Vietnam Memorials Nahas has researched over the past decade. Additionally he wanted the capability for visitors to his site to be able to submit information or photos about Memorials already included on his list or provide him with information about Vietnam Memorials he had yet to discover.

Here is the a look at the site after the redesign:

To give visitors the ability to search for Vietnam Memorials near them we broke down the list by state and used a clickable map to make this process as easy as possible.

Once a visitor has selected the state they will then be taken to a list like this:

As you can see this list gives visitors the ability to sort this information however they would like.
