Business
The Internet allows businesses which could previously access only local or regional markets to expand their reach across the globe. Follow the link above to see a sample of the manufacturing, insurance, telecommunications and other sites we have designed.

eCommerce & Shopping
We have designed web sites for several nationally known local retailers and a large number of stores looking to expand their market online. We can also help you develop an affordable "Internet only" store.

Lodging & Travel
With nearly one hundred lodging clients, from single unit cottages and small B&B's to large motels, resorts and vacation rental businesses, it's fair to say we know the Internet lodging business inside and out.

Media & Entertainment
Our company started as an online publisher and we continue to develop compelling Internet content for TV shows, music groups, artists, writers and our own Internet magazine.

Nonprofit, Community & Government
Leelanau Communications has an abiding commitment to helping to preserve the natural beauty and rich heritage of our region and donates substantial resources to selected area nonprofit organizations. We excel in assisting your organization in securing grants for Internet projects and in completing those projects according to your budget and timeline.

Homes, Real Estate & Construction
Professionals in home and land sales, construction and associated trades have learned that people are increasingly turning to the internet for research and planning home purchases, design and remodeling. We have developed systems which allow realtors to easily manage a constantly changing inventory and to allow builders to showcase their work.

Recreation, Wineries & Dining
The reason most of us choose to make our homes in Northern Michigan is the wide range of outdoor activities available to us. We help take web surfers closer to the ski hills, trails and islands, get them to the restaurant table and help them learn about our area's booming wine industry.

Regional
Our experience with one of the largest local information sites in Michigan (Leelanau.com) and with local chambers and business associations has helped us to become adept at the management of constantly changing business, event and other information.

Is That All?
No. We've done work for a variety of businesses that span multiple categories or don't fit in any of them. Some of the unique projects we have developed include private family web sites, multimedia & historical presentations and collaboration on new, web-based businesses. Chances are, we can help you with your project too! Contact us for more information.
