As the Real Estate Market was one of the first to start using the Internet for world wide exposure, we felt it to be a good idea to create a page devoted to their cause of promoting the excellent housing and commercial properties available in the High Desert. Here it is. It started out as a place to link a few of our Real Estate Clients... Now it is wide open to including a link to just about anybody and anything connected with the industry in our area.
(Real Estate)
Another specialty page, meant to appeal to only those with interest in the area, High Desert Jobs is a place to post and to find employment. Look for links to Clasified Ads, and see our new "Resume Database"

A place we would like everyone visiting and is not familiar with our terrain, to see. Not meant to be visited more than once, but hopefully at least once so that all will be familiar with our community. A few good links to other Victor Valley sites are there as well.
Trying to find a good place to stay? The High Desert lodging guide has listings for the best places to stay in the High Desert Area.
Here is a chance for our community to shine as we parade a regular sampling of the optomistic flavor of the typical High Desert resident. Visit and learn what is really meant when it is said of the Victor Valley, "A Better Way of Life." We could only give this site a 3, due to the need for more interviews to take place. We love doing it, but we're restricted regarding time.

How could we say this list represents every business in the High Desert with an online presence? We couldn't, and shame on those who infer such a claim. Understanding that every designer wants to showcase his own clients first, however, is the impetus behind this menu of sites. We are proud of our clients and are happy to be working with each of them. BTW, the best chance for a complete list of every High Desert Online Business can be found here. ... and eventually here.

There is nothing quite like a good guestbook to give a site the good 'ol red carpet treatment. Now that we've made some enhancement to the script and made the guestbook more visible to visitors on the first try, we have some fun ahead of us. The "auto comment" feature is a source for interest. Let us know if you would like to see a few more items added to the menu!
(Guestbook)
Although somewhat of a tired commodity, we just couldn't resist posting up a page of the awards we've won so far. It is still a good feeling to know that we were recognized by Netscape for an earlier version of this Lauch Pad last year. Early 96 was a time when large graphic files that wasted your time yet dazzled your sense of wonder were still cool. We were happy to accomodate! If you have some time to spare, see this trophy room of ours.
What was once a contest to see how quickly 20 people could do it, has now turned into a standing offer! Go on a treasure hunt for three links, put the pieces of the puzzle together, and have your choice of a quality "VVdotCOM" T-Shirt or Coffee Mug! It's doable... it really is!

One chief motto of VVdotCOM is "The Internet doesn't cost you money, the Internet saves you money"

This page is like totaly cool. You have to see it in order to believe it!
Nu School is a page that, judging by it's rating, is still scarcely more than a concept. We have grand ideas for it being a subject based replica of school curriculum, broken down much like catalog of classes for a new semester at Victor Valley College. All you will need to do is find the subject that interests you, explore a collection of links that provide valuable information in that field, and surf away. Our plan is to include the efforts of local schools in the formation of this community page as distance learning is becoming more and more of a reality. Please let us know of any links you think we should include.

Newbie's enter confidently here! But that's not all. Everyone can benefit from a little guidance. The Flight School is not about aviation but about getting your feet off the ground in using the internet effectively to enhance your life. There are three levels of courses, a little information aboult our local ISP's, and a chance to get a certified education for free! It only takes a short evening to fly with the big boys on the Net!

After tons of experimentation and methods to make a background sound track that the user has complete control of, we created this page so you can get to our complete library of files, but be under no obligation to:
- Hear anything at all
- Hear a style you don't like
- Hear a song indefinately
- Have the songs tied into your browsing adventure
With this utility, you can set the length of time you want the songs to play before a new selection is made and you can keep it all in the background, away fro what you are doing on the web in the first place. We have seen plenty of MIDI sites out there on the web, but no one has put MIDI in it's place like VVdotCOM!

I'm not sure how much better of a job of informing you of easy fixes, shortcuts, and performance tips our local web community can do as opposed to the big clearinghouses of information, but let's give it a try shall we? The price is certainly right and Victor Valley people are sure to be much nicer about the whole thing. Offer to take somebody to lunch if they can walk you through a difficult process... Computer geeks need to eat too!
