Topinabee
Topinabee is a village on the shore of Mullett Lake in central Cheboygan County, a historic resort community on the Inland Waterway named for Chief Topinabee, with a beach, surrounding woods, and a base of shops, lodging, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Topinabee area's shops, lodging, recreation, and service 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 Topinabee, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Topinabee client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in a small northern-Michigan lake community make support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is exactly the point: a Topinabee lodge or shop gets the same fast response and attention as a business in any town, without anyone needing to drive out.
What would you build for a Topinabee shop, lodging, or recreation business?
Usually a booking, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Topinabee business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.

In intake, booking, customer email, and follow-up — so a Topinabee business gets real leverage through the Mullett Lake summer season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Topinabee 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 Topinabee business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Topinabee 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 Topinabee business.
