Forest Knolls
Forest Knolls is a community in Marin County, California, in the San Geronimo Valley west of the Ross Valley, a wooded, rural-residential community at the edge of West Marin, with a close-knit population, an outdoor-and-rural character, and the small businesses, trades, and home-based operations serving a forested valley where wildfire resilience and reliable connectivity matter. Its business base runs on trades and home services, outdoor recreation, professional and creative work done from home, small retail, real estate, and the small businesses serving a rural valley community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the businesses of Forest Knolls and Marin County, built to keep working when the network doesn't, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Will the tools work when valley connectivity is spotty?

Can you help a Forest Knolls professional or creative working from home?

Where does AI help a Forest Knolls business?
In intake, scheduling, estimating, document and data processing, customer support, and follow-up, so a Forest Knolls trade, professional, or local business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Forest Knolls business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable and off-site backups, phishing filtering, strict access controls, and a tested incident-response and disaster-recovery plan, plus secure payment handling where you take payments. We set it up and manage it for you, aligned with your conditions.
What does a custom platform cost a Forest Knolls business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger trade or integration platforms scale from there. We scope it to what your Forest Knolls operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and the data outright, with no lock-in, hosted in an environment that fits your requirements.
