Douglas
Douglas is a Lake Michigan resort city in Allegan County, the twin to Saugatuck on the Art Coast of Michigan, a welcoming arts-and-beach destination with marinas, galleries, restaurants, and inns drawing visitors from Chicago and across the region. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Douglas area's galleries, restaurants, inns, marine, and tourism businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Douglas, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Douglas client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Douglas gallery, inn, restaurant, or marina?
Usually an e-commerce, booking, reservation, slip-reservation, or point-of-sale platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Douglas business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build a booking platform for an inn or vacation rental?
Yes — we build booking, reservation, and rental platforms for inns and vacation-rental operators, so a Douglas business handles the resort-season rush from one system.
Where does AI help a Douglas operator?
In reservation and guest email, booking, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Douglas business gets real leverage and handles the art-coast season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Douglas business taking payments?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Douglas business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost a Douglas business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Douglas operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Douglas business.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Typically 15–60 minutes during business hours and under an hour after-hours for critical issues, handled remotely with direct access for urgent problems — which matters most at the height of the season.
