NRCA LAUNCHES REDESIGNED WEB SITE Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has redesigned its Web site, www.nrca.net. The Web site features a new layout, including NRCA's new logo, and restructured navigation. The Web site's content and navigation are customized for NRCA's three primary audiences: members, roofing professionals and consumers. Users can click the appropriate category to access information best suited for them. Each category has a specific color, which is reflected in the tabs, to give users a visual reference of their location on the Web site. NRCA's home page has a modular format to include as much content as possible from NRCA's departments. The new format provides details about NRCA's products and services and highlights information from various sections of the Web site. The Web site's homepage now includes a section below the left navigation for links to NRCA's peripheral Web sites: Professional Roofing, Roof Wind Designer, EnergyWise Roof Calculator Online, SpecRight, NRCA's Spanish section, the board of directors and Executive Committee section, the Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress, the National Roofing Legal Resource Center and the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing. Users now are required to register and log in to buy products from the NRCA Bookstore, register for educational programs or subscribe to E-News. There is a new main link for the "Safety and Insurance" section. The "Find a Contractor" feature is more prominent and allows users to search for contractors by state. In addition, the Web site's search results have been customized with "best bet" results, so specific keywords lead users directly to the pages they seek. From any page on the Web site, users can search for information, join NRCA, e-mail or print a page, find an NRCA contractor member, access quick links to frequently accessed information, register for NRCA's electronic communications, read NRCA and roofing industry news, and take NRCA's online poll. If you have questions about the redesigned Web site, contact Laura Lewis, NRCA’s director of Web site development, at (800) 323-9545, ext. 7560 or llewis@nrca.net. ###
