The bar chart compares the number of monthly visits to a community website across its first two years of use, over the 12-month period from September to August.
Overall, the website was vastly more popular in its second year, with visits more than doubling for most months, peaking in the summer period of June and July. The only exception to this upward trend was August, when first-year visits overtook second-year numbers.
In the first year, visits started at just 2000 in September, rising gradually to 10,000 in November and December before dropping sharply to only 1000 visits in February and March. Numbers then recovered steadily to end the period at a high of 14,500 visits in August.
By contrast, second-year visits started higher, at 3500 in September, climbed to 17,000 by November, and remained over 10,000 per month even in the early-year trough. Visits then rose dramatically to peak at roughly 22,500 in both June and July, before falling to 12,500 in August, the only month where visitor numbers were lower than the first year.
