Functionality where it belongs

Keep business logic out of the theme.

Custom functionality should survive a redesign. We package reusable features, integrations and operational logic as plugins so they can evolve independently from the presentation layer.

This creates cleaner architecture and makes long-term maintenance significantly easier.

Plugin capabilities

From internal utility to commercial product.

We can build one-off business functionality, WooCommerce extensions or reusable plugins intended for multiple sites.

01

Custom WordPress Plugins

Purpose-built functionality for content workflows, administration, automation and custom site behavior.

  • Admin tools
  • Custom workflows
  • Hooks & filters
  • Data processing
02

WooCommerce Extensions

Custom product, checkout, pricing, fulfillment and operational logic for WooCommerce.

  • Checkout logic
  • Pricing rules
  • Product extensions
  • Order workflows
03

API Integrations

Connect WordPress with CRMs, payment providers, external platforms and custom services.

  • REST APIs
  • OAuth
  • Webhooks
  • Data sync
04

Automation Plugins

Turn repetitive WordPress tasks into scheduled, event-driven or rules-based workflows.

  • Scheduled jobs
  • Notifications
  • Imports/exports
  • Background tasks
05

Admin & Reporting Tools

Custom dashboards and controls that make complex operations easier for non-technical teams.

  • Admin screens
  • Reports
  • Bulk actions
  • Permissions
06

Commercial Plugin Products

Architecture for plugins that need licensing, settings, updates, documentation and broader compatibility.

  • Licensing-ready
  • Settings UX
  • Versioning
  • Product architecture
Engineering standard

Built for updates, debugging and future change.

Plugin code should be understandable months later. We structure functionality around clear responsibilities, WordPress conventions and predictable upgrade paths.

01SecurityCapabilities, validation, sanitization and safe data handling.
02CompatibilityRespect WordPress APIs and reduce unnecessary coupling.
03PerformanceAvoid expensive queries and load functionality only when needed.
04MaintainabilityClear structure, versioning and documented behavior.
Plugin process

Define the behavior before writing hooks.

We map the workflow and edge cases first, then choose the right WordPress extension points and integration approach.

01

Discover

Clarify the workflow, users, triggers, data and expected outcomes.

02

Specify

Define settings, admin behavior, integrations and important edge cases.

03

Architect

Choose hooks, data structures, APIs and boundaries between components.

04

Develop

Build the plugin, admin experience, automation and external integrations.

05

Test

Validate permissions, failure states, compatibility and real-world workflows.

06

Release

Deploy, document and evolve the plugin as requirements change.

Common plugin requests

When a custom plugin is the cleaner answer.

01

Your team repeats the same admin task.

Automate the workflow instead of relying on manual steps and memory.

02

Two systems need to exchange data.

Create a proper integration rather than copying information between platforms.

03

WooCommerce needs custom rules.

Extend products, checkout or orders without modifying core files.

04

A feature needs to survive redesigns.

Package the functionality separately from the theme so it remains portable.

Plugin Development FAQ

Before starting a custom plugin.

Can you build plugins for WooCommerce?+

Yes. WooCommerce extensions can cover pricing, checkout, product logic, order workflows, external integrations and other custom commerce requirements.

Can you modify an existing plugin?+

We can assess existing plugin code and determine whether extension, refactoring or a separate companion plugin is the safer approach. Directly modifying third-party plugin files is generally avoided because updates can overwrite those changes.

Can a plugin connect to external APIs?+

Yes. Custom plugins can connect WordPress to external services using REST APIs, webhooks, authentication flows and scheduled synchronization where supported.

Can you build a plugin we can sell?+

Yes. Commercial plugin work can include settings architecture, licensing-ready structure, update strategy, onboarding and compatibility planning. The exact distribution model should be defined early.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?+

Yes. Plugins often need updates as WordPress, WooCommerce or connected services change. Ongoing maintenance can cover compatibility, fixes and new features.
