Merrimac
Merrimac is a village on the Wisconsin River in southeastern Sauk County, home to the free Merrimac Ferry — the historic state-run car ferry across Lake Wisconsin — and a riverside community with a base of recreation, hospitality, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Merrimac area's recreation, hospitality, and service 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 Merrimac, Wisconsin?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being on the Wisconsin River at the Merrimac Ferry is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Merrimac client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Merrimac business?
No — remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Merrimac business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a bigger town, without waiting on a service call.
What would you build for a Merrimac recreation, hospitality, or service business?
Usually a booking, customer, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your river-season operation runs — so a Merrimac business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Merrimac business?
In intake, booking, customer email, and follow-up — so a Merrimac business gets real leverage through the Lake Wisconsin and ferry-season summer without scrambling for staff.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Merrimac 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 Merrimac business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Merrimac 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 Merrimac business.
Do you only work with big companies, or small Merrimac businesses too?
Most of our clients are small and mid-sized businesses — a Merrimac shop, lakeside, or recreation operation is exactly who we build for, scoped to a budget that makes sense.
Can you help a Merrimac business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for Merrimac, its Merrimac Ferry and Lake Wisconsin recreation setting, so the visitors searching nearby find you first.
