Off-the-shelf plugins are built for everyone — which means they're perfect for no one. I build custom WordPress plugins engineered around your specific business logic, data structure, and workflow. The result is leaner, faster, and more secure than anything from the plugin directory.
From simple shortcode plugins to complex multi-module systems with custom database tables, REST API endpoints, and admin UIs — I've built over 50 custom plugins across 9 years and contributed directly to the WordPress Plugin Directory as a verified plugin developer on WordPress.org.
Every plugin is built to WordPress coding standards, fully documented, and tested before handover.
Register CPTs, taxonomies, and meta fields with clean registration hooks, admin UI, and REST API support — no ACF required unless you prefer it.
Custom REST API endpoints, third-party API connections (Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, etc.), and webhook handlers built securely.
Custom admin pages, settings panels, meta boxes, and bulk action handlers that make WordPress admin work exactly the way your team needs.
Custom WooCommerce hooks, payment gateway integrations, shipping method plugins, and checkout flow modifications.
Custom Gutenberg blocks built with React and the Block Editor API — reusable, accessible, and compatible with Full Site Editing themes.
Extend or fix existing plugins without hacking core files — using proper hooks, filters, and child plugins that survive updates.
Every plugin I write follows WordPress coding standards and is built for long-term maintainability.
I document exactly what the plugin needs to do — inputs, outputs, edge cases, and admin UI — before writing any code.
Database schema, hook strategy, file structure, and security model planned upfront so the plugin is extensible from day one.
Built to WordPress coding standards, with PHPUnit tests for critical logic and manual QA across plugin combinations.
Full review on your staging environment with all your existing plugins active — catching conflicts before they reach production.
Full inline code documentation, a README, and a video walkthrough so any developer can maintain it going forward.
What clients ask before commissioning a custom plugin.
When no existing plugin does exactly what you need, when available plugins have features you'll never use (bloat), when you need tight integration with your data model, or when a public plugin poses a security or licensing risk for your business.
Yes — because I use official WordPress APIs, action/filter hooks, and never modify core files. The plugin is tested against the latest stable WordPress version and I monitor breaking changes in WP core that could affect it.
Yes. I create a child plugin or use hooks to extend/override functionality without touching the original plugin's files. This means your modifications survive plugin updates. I never recommend editing plugin core files directly.
Yes — 100%. All custom plugin code I write for you is yours. There are no licensing fees, no ongoing royalties, and no lock-in. You receive the full source code and can have any developer maintain it.
Simple plugins (shortcodes, custom fields, small integrations) take 3–7 days. Complex plugins with custom DB tables, REST endpoints, or admin UIs take 2–4 weeks. I give exact estimates after reviewing your spec.
