Howells
Howells is an Orange County hamlet in the town of Wallkill near Middletown, a small rural-residential community with a historic rail-stop past and local businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Howells's shops, contractors, and service 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 Howells?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Howells client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Howells business?
Usually a customer, scheduling, job, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Howells business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Howells operator?
In intake, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up — so a Howells business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Howells 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 a custom platform cost a Howells business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Howells 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 Howells 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.
Can you help a Howells business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Howells and the surrounding Wallkill and Middletown-area communities, so the customers searching nearby find you first.
Do you replace our current systems or work with them?
We keep what's working and replace only what's holding you back, so a Howells business isn't forced into a rebuild it didn't ask for.
