Chassell
Chassell is a community on Portage Lake in Houghton County along US-41 south of Houghton, a Finnish-heritage town on the Sturgeon River known for its summer Strawberry Festival and the nearby Sturgeon River Sloughs, with a base of recreation, farms, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Chassell area's recreation, farms, contractors, 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 Chassell, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being on Portage Lake is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Chassell client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in the Keweenaw make remote support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Chassell 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 Chassell recreation, farm, or contractor business?
Usually a customer, booking, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Chassell business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Chassell business?
In intake, booking, quoting, customer email, and follow-up — so a Chassell business gets real leverage through the Strawberry Festival and summer season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Chassell 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 Chassell business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Chassell 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 Chassell 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 instead of a ticket queue.
Can you help a Chassell business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Chassell, its Portage Lake setting, Finnish heritage, and Strawberry Festival, so the customers searching nearby find you first.
