Chelsea
Chelsea is a city in western Washtenaw County, home to the Chelsea Milling Company (maker of Jiffy mixes) and Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre, with a beautifully walkable downtown and a base of boutiques, restaurants, makers, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Chelsea area's boutiques, restaurants, makers, 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 Chelsea, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Chelsea client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Chelsea boutique, restaurant, or maker?
Usually an e-commerce, reservation, ordering, ticketing, or customer platform built around how your operation runs — so a Chelsea business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build an online store for a Chelsea maker or specialty-food business?
Yes — we build e-commerce and order platforms for makers and specialty-food businesses, so a Chelsea shop can sell and ship from one system instead of juggling tools.
Where does AI help a Chelsea operator?
In reservation and customer email, ordering, ticketing, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Chelsea business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Chelsea business taking payments?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so a Chelsea business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost a Chelsea business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Chelsea 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 Chelsea 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 Chelsea business stand out online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Chelsea, its walkable downtown and the theatre-and-visitor crowd it draws, so the customers searching nearby find your door first.
