Our ServicesDevelopment
Sometimes the plugin you need does not exist — or the three that come close each bring a settings panel, a licence key and a security surface you did not ask for. We write focused custom plugins and themes that do precisely one job, follow WordPress coding standards, and survive core updates without drama.
Included as standard on every engagement — not an upsell list.
We define the single problem the plugin solves and build for that, with no upsell screens or unrelated features. Smaller surface area means fewer bugs, faster load, less to review at security-audit time and a much simpler upgrade path.
Settings screens, custom columns, bulk actions, meta boxes and dashboard widgets built with native WordPress UI components. Staff get tools that look and behave like the rest of the admin instead of an alien control panel.
Classic themes, child themes and block themes with theme.json, built from your design system so global styles, fonts and spacing are defined once. Editors get curated block patterns rather than a blank canvas and infinite choices.
We wrap external APIs — CRMs, booking systems, payment providers, LLM endpoints — in a plugin with proper authentication, transient caching, retry handling and error logging, so an upstream outage degrades gracefully instead of white-screening your site.
WordPress Coding Standards, sanitised inputs, escaped outputs, nonce-protected actions, prepared database statements and translation-ready strings throughout. Your next developer can read it, and a security reviewer can sign it off.
Every build ships with a README covering hooks, filters, settings and known limits, plus a changelog. Where useful we add a private update server so your team can roll out new versions across multiple sites cleanly.
Stage by stage, with the approval points marked. WordPress Plugin & Theme Development follows the same rhythm on every project.
We write down exactly what the plugin or theme must do, the user roles involved, the data it stores and the edge cases it must survive. Ambiguity here is what turns a two-week build into a two-month one, so we resolve it in writing first.
We decide where data belongs — post meta, custom tables, options or an external API — and design the hooks and filters other code will use. Getting this right keeps the plugin performant as your record count grows.
Development happens in Git with a local and staging environment, coding standards enforced, and incremental demos so you can steer the build rather than react to it at the end.
We test each user role, permission boundary, failure state and upgrade path, including deactivation and reactivation, and confirm the plugin behaves with your existing theme and plugin stack rather than only in isolation.
We deploy to production, verify against real data, and hand over the repository, documentation and a walkthrough for whoever maintains it next — your team, ours, or a developer you hire later.
The concrete artefacts handed over at the end — files, access and documentation you keep.
If two or three of these sound like your situation, this is the right place to start.
Standard, portable tooling. The licences, accounts and source stay in your name, so nothing here is a reason you cannot leave.
