After a several-month hiatus, and partly due to a great clamor on its behalf from our constant readers, we’re reintroducing NH.com’s Web Site of the Week feature. This week we’ve picked our winner from among some recent proposed links for our NH.com NH Web Sites directory. In future weeks, we hope you, the reader, will suggest sites you think qualify for Web Site of the Week. Just go to http://www.nh.com/wsotw to submit a vote.
Our pick this week, Grinning Moon Creative, is a Merrimack-based graphic design company. The company is a small one, and the personalities of its principals permeates the Web site design.
What: Grinning Moon Creative

Background: Grinning Moon represents the convergence of two unique companies, a design company called CrazySanta Productions and a dance, theatre and film production company called Limelight Productions. The two teams merged in 2000 and relocated from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Merrimack, New Hampshire in 2002.
The Mission: The site provides a solid presence for Grinning Moon on the Web, as well as acting as an example of the company’s design abilities and sensibilities.
What We Liked: Our team thought Grinning Moon was a great pick for WSOTW, “hands down!” Comments included, “Easy, fun navigation. I know exactly where I’m going, how I got there and what I’ll get when I arrive. The information is a quick read and yet informative. The design itself is a sales job for their own services and if I were in the market, I’d consider using them.” And succinctly, “It has a lot of personality and is easy to navigate.” In all, beautifully chosen design elements work to illustrate the message, not distract from it, and the site’s unity of purpose is clear.
Who Made It: Grinning Moon Creative
