This also show our team dedication  on making new things and have new ideas as always.

Our new website provides  user with a clearer and easier navigation, allowing users to find information quicker than before.  The content is also simplified and important information is emphasized, to let you understand our product within the shortest time.

In the new site, we also include a guided product tour for people to have a quick overview on how Navicat can help in managing their database.

Our next plan is to work on a Navicat.tv part, which will include many useful video clips to introduce features which you may not know inside Navicat, and to introduce some popular features in Navicat.
