- Google Toolbar

Web Site Designs
- Real Estate Web Awards.
List of web sites that have received awards.
Valuable, but realize that these awards are given for the "interactive"
features of the web site, such as database access and searching.
I don't particularly like the web sites that they pick.
I think this list may be self-serving.
- Namibia Chamber of Commerce.
This site was developed by Clint Goss on a previous IESC project.
PageRank: 5
- Winrock.
Web site of international development agency.
Vera likes the look of their home page,
but the home page loads slowly and is not friendly to search engines.
Howerver, the pages inside their site look good and are OK for search engines.
PageRank: 7
