Leland
Leland is a historic harbor village in Leelanau County between Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau, famous for Fishtown — its preserved shanties, smokehouses, and fishing tugs on the Leland River — and as the ferry port to the North and South Manitou Islands. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Leland's shops, restaurants, lodging, charters, 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 Leland, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Leland client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Leland shop, restaurant, or charter business?
Usually a booking, reservation, ordering, customer, or billing platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Leland business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Leland business?
In intake, booking, customer email, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Leland business gets real leverage through the Fishtown and Manitou-ferry summer season without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Leland 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 Leland business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Leland 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 Leland 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.
