Traverse City
Traverse City is the seat of Grand Traverse County and the heart of Northern Michigan's 'Up North' resort region on Grand Traverse Bay — the 'Cherry Capital of the World,' home of the National Cherry Festival, the Old Mission and Leelanau wine country, a celebrated foodie downtown, craft breweries, beaches, and the Munson healthcare hub, drawing year-round visitors for summer beaches, fall color, and winter snow. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Traverse City's restaurants, wineries, lodging, retailers, healthcare and professional firms, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

What would you build for a Traverse City restaurant, winery, or lodging?

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Traverse City business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost a Traverse City business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Traverse City operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
