Calendee LLC – A Veteran-Owned Business

Justin Noel

Independent software developer in McKinney, Texas.

I build custom apps and websites for small businesses and nonprofits. I plan it with you, design it, develop the whole system, host it online, and maintain it. I'm your first and only contact from beginning to end.

How I Work

No hand-offs. The person you talk to on day one writes the code, and answers your email a year later.

  1. Listen

    We talk about how your week actually goes: what eats your time, what gets missed, what your staff or volunteers keep asking for. I write it up in plain English before anything gets built.

  2. Design

    You see the screens before any code. We fix the awkward parts while they're still cheap to change. Everything meets accessibility standards from the start.

  3. Build

    I write all of it: the pages, the app, the database, the emails, the sign-in. You try small pieces as they land instead of waiting for one big reveal.

  4. Launch

    I set up the hosting, your domain and backups, and show you and your team how to use it.

  5. Support

    After launch I fix what breaks and change what needs changing. You email me, not a ticket queue.

Nonprofit Work

Most of my week goes to nonprofits in Collin County, as a volunteer. I build the software they need and keep their computers, email and websites working. It's how I learned what small organizations can afford, and how little time their people have to learn something new.

That includes CommonGoodMedical.org, Family Promise of Collin County, Community Garden Kitchen in McKinney and McKinney Food Pantry.
