Case Study: 151 RIL
Challenges
151 RIL is an historical organization that honors and perpetuates the memories of French soldiers in the Great War through sharing information and reenactments. They selected us to build a central repository to share their important work with the web.
Featurees
The 151 RIL website provides an outlet for the organization to share its many stories and depth of knowledge on the Great War. We built a custom content management solution to meet their needs. It allows 151 RIL members to easily update the content themselves.
Search
We created a powerful and intuitive search engine right into the 151 RIL website. All content on the website is automatically indexed. The search results feature ranking, pagination, and search term highlighting. When no relevant results are found, the search provides spell checking and helpful suggestions.
Image Bank
151 RIL has a large number of assets ranging from historic photos to original artwork. To help them track these assets and easily add to them over time, we built the Image Bank. New material is easily uploaded through the web interface and all pages using the images are tracked automatically.
Design
Our designers worked with the 151 RIL group on all aspects of the artwork and graphics design. Artifacts provided by the group and input from its leaders drove the design. Together, we captured a theme that is appropriate to the period but consistent with the design philosophies of a modern website.
