Custom Plugin Development
What's Included
Everything you get with our Custom Plugin Development
Custom Functionality
Purpose-built features designed around your specific business requirements with no unnecessary bloat or unused code
Admin Interface

Security and Testing
Proper data sanitization, nonce verification, prepared SQL queries, and comprehensive testing across WordPress versions
Our Custom Plugin Development Process
Requirements and Scoping
We document exactly what the plugin needs to do: functionality specifications, data requirements, user interactions, admin interface needs, and integration points. This specification becomes the blueprint for development.
Architecture and Development
We design the plugin's architecture: database schema, class structure, hook integration points, and asset loading strategy. Then we build iteratively, providing working builds for your review at each milestone.
Testing and Security Review
We test across multiple WordPress versions, verify compatibility with your theme and existing plugins, conduct security testing for data handling and access control, and perform performance profiling to ensure the plugin runs efficiently.
Deployment and Documentation
We deploy the plugin to your site, verify it works correctly in your production environment, and deliver comprehensive documentation covering configuration, usage, and developer reference for future modifications.
Key Benefits
Tailored Functionality
Your plugin does exactly what your business needs and nothing else. No feature compromise, no workarounds, no unnecessary complexity. The functionality matches your workflow precisely because it was designed around it.
Update-Safe Architecture
We build plugins using WordPress's hook and filter system, which means your custom functionality does not modify WordPress core files. When WordPress updates, your plugin continues to work because it uses the official APIs that WordPress maintains backward compatibility for.
Clean WordPress Integration
Our plugins register menus, settings, scripts, and styles through the proper WordPress APIs. They create database tables using dbDelta. They handle AJAX through admin-ajax or the REST API. Everything integrates cleanly with the WordPress admin and ecosystem.
