As usual, Job Opportunities was the most visited page. The biggest surprise was Doing Business second tier in the second spot. Doing Business usually is among the least used home page buttons. (In January, Doing Business second tier was the 48^th most visited page.) The main variable in this section is the Town Business Opportunities page, which has bid and proposal requests. The page contained five such listings on April 1. The Engineering Department has made greater use of the page recently because of several construction projects that are getting under way.

Youth basketball pages were the third and 11^th most visited pages during March as recreation Web pages continued to draw considerable interest. These included Camps & Art Experiences, Amphitheatre at Regency Park, Events & Concerts, Bond Park, the recreation programs listing, Applause Cary Youth Theatre, Bond Park Community Center, skate park, tennis center, and the Spring Daze festival.

The Internet applications analyst has redesigned the search function, permitting users to narrow their search considerably. Townofcary.org users rely heavily on the search function. Hopefully, this upgrade will enable users to navigate more effectively.
