Austin Melone, founder of Melone Development

About Melone Development

Hi, I’m Austin.

I build websites and software for businesses that need their tools to work better together.

Melone Development grew out of the problems I saw inside service businesses: missed calls, scattered lead information, repetitive admin, and software that didn’t quite fit the job.

You work directly with me, from deciding what to build through design, development, and launch.

Get in touch

Based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Available remotely.

A few questions

Do I need a fully formed idea?

No. Bring the problem or your current process. We’ll work out what is worth building and agree on the scope before development starts.

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Yes, where those tools support the necessary connections. We start with your current setup and identify what can be connected or improved.

Are CallSight and MIP still available?

Both are archived product builds and are no longer in production. Their hosted services were retired to reduce infrastructure costs. The case studies describe the work completed.

Who will I work with?

You’ll work directly with Austin Melone, from the first conversation through design, development, and launch.

Have a project in mind?

Tell me a little about your business and what you’d like to improve.
