Custom WordPress plugins for features no off-the-shelf plugin does right

Configurators, integrations, WooCommerce extensions and admin tools, built as clean, update-safe plugins that you own.

What does our WordPress Plugin Development service include?

Custom WordPress plugin development adds features that existing plugins cannot handle well, such as product configurators, API integrations, custom WooCommerce logic or admin tools. We build them to WordPress coding standards, with security checks and documentation.

When a site depends on five plugins and custom snippets to do one job, it becomes fragile. A purpose-built plugin does exactly what you need, nothing more, and survives theme changes and updates.

One example from our portfolio: for Geotrek Vans we built a build-your-van configurator plugin where buyers choose a model, colours and add-ons with live pricing, then download the build as a PDF or share it with a link.

Ask a question

When do I need a custom plugin instead of an existing one?

When existing plugins force workarounds, overlap each other, slow the site down or still cannot do what your business needs. Typical examples are product configurators, CRM or ERP integrations, custom WooCommerce pricing and internal admin tools. If a well-maintained plugin already does the job, we will tell you and save you the build cost.

How is a custom plugin priced?

By scope: the features, admin screens, integrations, data volumes and how much testing the logic needs. A small integration is a short project; a configurator with pricing rules and live previews is larger. We write a specification first, then quote a fixed price for it, so you know the cost before any code is written.

Will the plugin break when WordPress updates?

It is very unlikely. We build with WordPress APIs, hooks and coding standards rather than editing core files, which keeps plugins compatible across updates. We also test against new WordPress and PHP versions, and our care plans include compatibility checks and fixes, so updates never catch you off guard.

Do I own the plugin code?

Yes. The code is yours, delivered in a Git repository with documentation on how it works, how to configure it and how to update it. There are no licence fees, no lock-in and nothing tied to our servers, so any competent WordPress developer can maintain it in future.

Can a plugin connect WordPress to our CRM or ERP?

Yes. We build integrations with REST and webhook-based systems, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, accounting tools and custom APIs. We handle authentication, field mapping, retries and error logging, so a failed sync is recorded and retried instead of silently losing data, and your team can see what happened.

Can you extend or fix an existing plugin?

Usually, yes. We extend plugins through their hooks and filters, so updates to the original plugin do not overwrite your changes. If an existing custom plugin is buggy or insecure, we audit the code, fix the urgent problems first and document what we found, with a clear plan for the rest.
