ConstructConnect Launches Two New Websites for Legacy Publications Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce

November 30, 2017

TORONTO & VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Constructionprojectleads—ConstructConnect,
a leading provider of construction information and technology solutions
in North America, announced today the launch of two new websites for its
award-winning, legacy publications the Daily
Commercial News (DCN) and the Journal
of Commerce (JOC). The websites are positioned to support DCN and
JOC as trusted online resources for essential construction news, tender
information and project leads.

DCN has served Eastern Canada’s construction marketplace for almost 100
years. Although JOC focuses on Western Canada, it holds the unique
honour of being Canada’s oldest construction industry trade publication.

The new websites are an investment in a new dynamic publishing platform
that allow the publications to share the valuable content the readers
want, as well as roll out additional functionality to support the
reader’s business needs. Optimized to provide an inclusive,
user-friendly experience on both desktop and mobile devices, the new
websites make it even easier to find, view, and share industry news and
information.

“The redesign of the Journal of Commerce and Daily Commercial News
websites marks the next chapter in our company’s historic transition for
these iconic publications,” explained Mark Casaletto, president of
ConstructConnect-Canada. “At a time when our journalism, project data
and analytics are read and respected by more people, across more
channels than ever before, enhancing our digital platform to provide a
more valuable and effective experience for our readers and advertisers
just made sense.”

The new DCN and JOC websites were designed with special consideration
for construction industry professionals, and provide readers with the
following new features:

  • Sleek new design with improved user navigation and interface
  • Enhanced search for Certificates of Substantial Performance and legal
    ads, including the ability to filter by owner, contractor and custom
    date range
  • Embedded video capabilities
  • Easier access to the content users want
  • Increased visual imagery to complement articles and promote engagement

The DCN and JOC publications are recipients of multiple Construction
Writers Association awards for coverage in local, national and
international construction news stories.
