Newaygo
Newaygo is a small city in southern Newaygo County on the Muskegon River in west-central Michigan, an outdoor-recreation town between Croton Dam and Hardy Dam pond known for paddling, fishing, and tubing, with a revitalized downtown, surrounding forest and farms, and a base of shops, outfitters, restaurants, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Newaygo's shops, outfitters, restaurants, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Newaygo operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
