Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County, home to Eastern Michigan University and the historic Depot Town and downtown districts, a diverse, artsy, and revitalizing community with a strong independent business scene of restaurants, breweries, makers, and shops. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Ypsilanti area's restaurants, breweries, makers, retailers, 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 Ypsilanti, Michigan?

What would you build for an Ypsilanti restaurant, brewery, or maker?
Usually a reservation, ordering, point-of-sale, e-commerce, or customer platform built around how your operation runs — so an Ypsilanti business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you build an online store for an Ypsilanti maker or independent shop?
Yes — we build e-commerce and order platforms for makers and independent retailers, so an Ypsilanti business can sell online and in-store from one system instead of juggling tools.
Can you build and serve customers in more than one language?
Yes — Ypsilanti is a diverse community, and we build bilingual interfaces and run local SEO and content in English and Spanish where it fits, so your business reaches its whole community.
Where does AI help an Ypsilanti operator?
In reservation and customer email, ordering, scheduling, translation, and follow-up — so an Ypsilanti business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for an Ypsilanti business taking payments?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and secure payment handling, all set up and managed for you so an Ypsilanti business isn't carrying that risk alone.
What does a custom platform cost an Ypsilanti business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Ypsilanti 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.
