C.A.R. Unveils New Look, Features, and Functionality on car.org

The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) this week added new features and functionalities to car.org, the Association's official Web site.

"The Association understands that in today's high-tech, fast-paced business environment, Web sites are a key part of conducting business," said C.A.R. President Steve Goddard. "To better serve our members and provide useful information about today's housing market, C.A.R. worked on improving the site based on extensive member feedback and data on users' behaviors."

Enhancements to the site include drop-down menu navigation, font size and color changes for increased readability, and a new color palette for the site. Additional highlights include:

--  A "One Cool Thing" module highlighting a new cool service, product, or
    application each day.
--  The addition of a "Stay Connected" module on the home page featuring
    links to C.A.R.'s social networks, upcoming Webinars, current
    outreaches, and consumer-specific resources.
--  An enhanced video module with a side-scrolling option enabling visitors
    to browse through a selection of video clips without leaving the home
    page.

car.org was named to the top 100 real estate Web sites visited most-often in February, according to Web metrics firm Hitwise, which monitors a range of Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks to capture the usage patterns of Internet users.
