Rifton
Rifton is a hamlet in the Ulster County town of Esopus on the Wallkill River, home to the Bruderhof community and a base of farms, makers, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Rifton area's farms, makers, and service businesses, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania — across the state — remote-first, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Rifton?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Rifton client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Rifton farm, maker, or shop?
Usually an online-store, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Rifton business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Rifton operator?
In intake, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up — so a Rifton business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Rifton 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 Rifton business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Rifton 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 Rifton 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 do marketing in more than one language for Rifton?
Yes — local SEO and content in English and Spanish where it fits your customers, so people searching in their own language find you first.
Can you help a Rifton business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Rifton and the surrounding Esopus-area communities, so the customers searching nearby find you first.
