Custom plugin development
One purpose-built plugin instead of five that almost fit
We write a plugin that does exactly what your workflow needs, to a written scope you approve first, in code other developers can read.
- Written scope before any code
- Secure code to WordPress standards
- Documented and update-ready
- Written scope
- Staging tested
- Documented
- 3 Packages by plugin size
- 7-30 days Business-day delivery windows
- 1-4 Revision rounds included
- Scope first Agreed in writing before we build
Sound familiar?
When off-the-shelf plugins stop being enough
A plugin stack that has been bent to fit usually shows its age.
-
Five plugins doing one job
You stitched together several tools to get one behavior. Each adds weight, and each can break the others.
-
A workflow no plugin handles
Your booking rules, pricing logic or approval steps are particular to your business.
-
Data that needs a proper home
Directories, imports and records stuffed into posts and custom fields get hard to manage as they grow.
-
A snippet pile in functions.php
Code pasted into the theme vanishes when you change themes. A plugin keeps it portable and organized.
What you gain
Exactly the feature, nothing extra
A focused plugin is lighter than a general one and easier to reason about.
-
A scope you can read
We write what the plugin will and will not do, so you know what you are buying.
-
Security built in
Input is validated, output is escaped and actions are protected, following WordPress practice.
-
Settings, not code edits
Where it makes sense, options live on a settings page you can change yourself.
-
Tested with your site
We test on staging with your theme and plugins before installing live.
-
Documentation you can hand on
Notes on what it does and how to use it, so you are not dependent on memory.
-
Update-ready structure
Premium builds are structured so future changes are straightforward.
Honest advice
We will tell you if you do not need a plugin
Sometimes an existing plugin does the job for far less. If that is true for your idea, we will say so before you pay for development.nnWhen custom is the right call, we start with a short scope and only then build.
- Regular: one defined feature, 1 revision round
- Standard: up to 3 connected features and a settings page, 2 rounds
- Premium: custom data, one outside integration and user roles, 4 rounds
- Premium includes 30 days of post-launch support

Questions
Plugin development questions
What to know before commissioning code.
Who owns the plugin?
After full payment you own the deliverables created specifically for you. Third-party libraries keep their own licenses.
Can you build it from a rough idea?
Yes. Send what you have and we will turn it into a written scope you can approve.
Will it break when WordPress updates?
We follow WordPress standards, which keeps risk low. Nobody can promise nothing will ever need updating, and a maintenance plan can cover that.
Can you make it sellable to other people?
Premium builds are update-ready. Licensing and distribution can be discussed as a separate piece of work.
What if the scope grows mid-project?
New requirements outside the agreed scope may need a different package or a separate quote, agreed in writing.
Do you connect to outside services?
Premium includes integration with one outside service. For several systems or complex APIs, see our custom integration and API development service.
