For the first 10 years of Leelanau.com we featured the Northern Michigan Site of the Week.
Many of these links are long gone, but we hope this slice of Internet history is fun for you!
Last updated January 4, 2006
Our latest pick is a site we designed but the real “show” are Greg Seman’s stunning black & white photos. He has galleries of northern Michigan scenes (Good Harbor, Cedar, Leland, Traverse City, Rapid River, Ludington, Manistee) and also Colorado & Iceland.
Previous Picks, About the Award & Recommend Site |
The Northern Michigan Site of the Week is designed to honor web sites made in Northern Lower Michigan (& the UP) that deliver something extra. Scroll down for seven years of sites that have received the award. Many of them are still there, but some have vanished into the mists. If one of them has moved and you know where it is (or to recommend a site for the award), send us an email! If it’s just plain gone, we’re leaving the link up anyway!
