Crosslake
Crosslake is a premier Brainerd Lakes resort city on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, an upscale vacation-and-second-home community with a town square, marinas, and a base of resorts, hospitality, retail, and recreation. Its big-water chain and resort economy draw boaters and vacationers from across the region. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Crosslake area's resort, hospitality, retail, and recreation 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 Crosslake, Minnesota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Whitefish Chain resort city is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Crosslake client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Crosslake business?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Crosslake business gets the same fast response and attention as a local provider, without waiting on a service call.
What would you build for a Crosslake resort, hospitality, or retail business?
Usually a booking, reservation, ordering, customer, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Crosslake business works from one system instead of disconnected apps.

In intake, booking, reservations, customer email, and follow-up — so a Crosslake business handles the intense summer lakes season without adding headcount.
