Walloon Lake
Walloon Lake is a village on the lake of the same name in Charlevoix County, a quiet resort community famous as the boyhood summer home of Ernest Hemingway, with a revived lakeside downtown and a base of hospitality, recreation, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Walloon Lake area's hospitality, recreation, and service businesses, 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.
Do you work with businesses in Walloon Lake, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being on Walloon Lake is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Walloon Lake client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in a small northern Michigan resort community make support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Walloon Lake business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a bigger town, without waiting on a long drive.
What would you build for a Walloon Lake hospitality, recreation, or service business?
Usually a booking, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your resort-season operation runs — so a Walloon Lake business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Walloon Lake business?
In intake, booking, customer email, and follow-up — so a Walloon Lake business gets real leverage through the lake summer season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Walloon Lake business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Walloon Lake business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Walloon Lake 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 Walloon Lake 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 in season.
