We would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank our users who voted for us!

A New look for the NWS Website
We have given our website a complete overhaul over the past few weeks.
In addition to a clearer design, we have also revised our product descriptions and given our pricing overview a new look.
The result: more information at first glance, a clearer message and better navigation. Take a look at the new website now!
This newsletter, the NWS Playground, and our docs will follow suit (pun intended) shortly - stay tuned!
