NC Construction News
We are excited to announce Qudeso’s launch of the new NC Construction News website. Although Qudeso has been working with NC Construction News in a smaller capacity for some time, we were challenged by Bob Kruhm and his team to redesign their existing site in an effort to improve the viewer experience online. Bob and the NC Construction team expressed wanting to have a site which allowed their readers the opportunity to more easily locate news relevant to them. They also wished to improve on several features though their back-end control panel which would allow their writers to more easily manage and post news online.
Below is a listing of some of the new key features and improved user experience you’ll notice on the new site.
- Allowance for graphics on Featured and Latest News Articles driving more attention to the primary articles. Although NC Construction News is a “news” and content focused site, it was important for them to provide more visuals to the readers. Now they have the ability to add as many images, videos, etc. on the site as they see fit.
- Addition of an Events Calendar which displays upcoming events hosted by various associations and organizations within the construction industry. NC Construction News stays very much attuned to the latest happens within the industry and prides themselves on keeping their ear to the ground at these events in order to share what they learn
- Formation of new Article Categories including Architects, Contractors and Engineers. This was implemented to both broaden their website footprint for NC Construction News as well as help filter incoming reader traffic into categories.
- More simplified navigation for NC Construction News. With the site containing hundreds of pages of news content vital to the construction industry, it was important to improve the easy of navigation.
- Improved placement of sponsorship advertisements to increase their exposure without taking away from the news. Just as important as it is to share relevant content, it was also a high priority for NC Construction News to provide their sponsors, who focus their services to the construction industry, the opportunity to become more visible.
- Inclusion of NC Construction News Newsletter signup which links directly to NCCN’s email campaign system. Along with implementing social media interaction, NC Construction News wants to make their content available through various channels in order to better connect their audience with the news they need.
We at Qudeso would like to thank NC Construction News for the opportunity to partner with them on this project and hope the readers enjoy the new site.
