New Web Site
NAVH is pleased to announce our new Web site design. The new site features a clear, consistent, easier-to-read design; better organization with improved navigation; improved accessibility; and new features. We will also be upgrading our online store, giving it the same look and improved ease-of-use.
The site remains under construction. During this period a few pages might be missing but rest assured they will be back soon. Also, our online store will retain the old "black and orange" look until it is complete. We apologize for any temporary inconvenience and ask you to bear with us. We're working as fast as we can.
Do you like the new site? How can our Web site better serve you? Please let us know.
