Curtis
Curtis is a community in northwestern Mackinac County between Big Manistique Lake and South Manistique Lake, a four-season resort village in the eastern Upper Peninsula's lake country with a downtown, marinas, 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 Curtis area's shops, lodging, marinas, 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 Curtis, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being in the Manistique Lakes country is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Curtis client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in the eastern UP make remote support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Curtis business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a big city, without waiting on a long drive.
What would you build for a Curtis shop, lodging, or marina business?
Usually a booking, reservation, customer, or billing platform built around how your seasonal operation runs — so a Curtis business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Curtis business?
In intake, booking, customer email, and follow-up — so a Curtis business gets real leverage through the Manistique Lakes summer-and-snowmobile seasons without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Curtis 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 Curtis business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Curtis 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 Curtis 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.
Can you help a Curtis business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Curtis, its Big and South Manistique Lakes resort setting, so the travelers searching nearby find you first.
