Highland Lakes
Highland Lakes is a lake community in Vernon Township, Sussex County, a wooded Highlands area of private lakes, summer homes, and year-round residents in the New Jersey mountains. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Highland Lakes area's contractors, shops, and lake-and-recreation businesses, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania, remote-first with on-site time when a project warrants the drive.
Do you work with businesses in Highland Lakes?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Highland Lakes client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Highland Lakes business or contractor?
Usually a customer, scheduling, booking, or invoicing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Highland Lakes contractor, shop, or lake business works from one system instead of a whiteboard and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Highland Lakes operator?
In intake, quoting, scheduling, and follow-up — so a small Highland Lakes team spends time on the work and the customers instead of chasing paperwork.
How do you handle the seasonal swing in a Highland Lakes business?
We build for the peak and quiet the off-season — platforms that scale up for the summer lake season, then run lean the rest of the year, so you're not paying peak costs in winter.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Highland Lakes 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 it cost a Highland Lakes business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Highland Lakes operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's live?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first working system, then steady improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Highland Lakes 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, with direct access for urgent problems instead of a ticket queue.

Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Highland Lakes, Vernon, and the Highlands, so the customers and visitors searching nearby find you first.
