Saugatuck
Saugatuck is a Lake Michigan resort city in Allegan County, the heart of the 'Art Coast of Michigan' — known for its galleries, Oval Beach, the towering dunes, boat tours and the chain ferry, a vibrant, welcoming arts-and-tourism destination drawing visitors from Chicago and across the Midwest, with a downtown full of galleries, restaurants, shops, and inns. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Saugatuck area's galleries, restaurants, inns, retail, and tourism businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Saugatuck business isn't carrying that risk alone.
