Dormont
Dormont is a dense walkable inner-ring borough of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, built around the West Liberty Avenue commercial spine and adjacent residential streets. The local business mix leans toward food, small specialty retail, personal services, professional firms, and trades operators serving the surrounding South Hills neighborhoods. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Dormont operators — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — replacing the patchwork of disconnected SaaS subscriptions most small Allegheny County businesses are paying for today. The questions below come up most often during first calls.
Do you work with businesses in Dormont?
Yes — Dormont is a dense, walkable South Hills borough with a lively Potomac Avenue business district on the T line, and its shops, restaurants, and small businesses are a good fit for what we do, working remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania with on-site time when it's warranted.
What would a custom tool do for a Dormont business?
Bring customers, orders, and invoicing into one place built for how your Dormont operation runs, so a Main Street business isn't working across disconnected tools and paper.
Where would AI help a Dormont business?
At the inbox-and-content load — drafting replies and listings, summarizing inquiries, and producing first drafts of posts and events — so a Dormont owner spends time on customers, not the laptop.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Dormont business?
Multi-factor authentication, managed endpoint protection, immutable backups, and phishing filtering, with an incident plan. A business taking card payments is a target; we set and maintain the controls.
What does managed IT include for us?
Email, devices, network, backups, security, Wi-Fi, and POS — monitored and maintained — with someone to call when something breaks. For a Dormont operator the tech just runs.
What would a build cost a Dormont business?
A focused tool can start in the high four figures; managed IT is a modest monthly cost. We scope to a Dormont operation and build in stages.
Do we own the work afterward?
Yes — code and data both, no lock-in, take it anywhere any time.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Usually 15 to 60 minutes in business hours and under an hour after-hours for urgent issues — a direct line, not a queue.
Can you help our Dormont business get found online?
Yes — a fast site and local SEO tuned for Dormont and the Potomac Avenue business-district searches that bring in customers.
