New look, features and functionality on car.org

C.A.R. is constantly striving to improve our members’ experience and the level of service we provide. We understand that in today’s high-tech, fast-paced business environment Web sites are a key part of conducting business. To enhance our members’ online experiences, C.A.R. has implemented changes to its Web site, car.org. Through simplified usability and a more harmonized look, C.A.R. is bringing critical content to the forefront, providing you with the most-important information, where and when you need it.

Over the last few weeks, C.A.R. rolled out incremental changes to car.org including drop-down menu navigation, font size and color changes, and a new color palette for the site. Additional highlights include:

Site-wide

Easy access to the Business Products mall (store.car.org) via a new shopping cart icon on every page.
New "My Profile" button with custom profile specific links.

New search button with preset search text to help clarify its function.

New "Home" button to helps you easily navigate back to the home page.

Home page

Video Module: This enhanced module enables visitors to preview videos prior to playing by hovering over any of the thumbnails, while a side-scrolling option allows visitors to browse through a selection of video clips without leaving the home page.

Stay Connected: This new addition to home page features links to C.A.R.’s social networks, upcoming Webinars, current outreaches, and consumer-specific resources.

What's New Now supports graphics within the description area for greater visual appeal.

One Cool Thing: This new module highlights a cool service, product, or application every day.

Quick Links: Now has a cleaner, simpler look, with clear access for our members to zipForm®. (Note that the existing visitor profile-specific links now are available on top of the page under the new "My Profile".)
