Custom Plugin Development for WordPress
I build custom WordPress plugins that add the functionality you need. From simple utilities to complex integrations, I create plugins that work reliably and maintain easily.
Discuss Your ProjectWhy Custom Plugins?
The WordPress plugin directory has solutions for common problems, but your business is not common. Custom plugins let you automate your specific workflows, integrate with your existing systems, and build competitive advantages.
I have built plugins for inventory management, custom checkout flows, API integrations, reporting dashboards, and countless other business needs. Each plugin is built for one client's specific requirements.
What I Build
- Custom Functionality Plugins: New features for your specific business processes and workflows
- Third-Party Integrations: Connect WordPress to CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, and external APIs
- WooCommerce Extensions: Custom checkout fields, shipping calculators, and product customizers
- Plugin Customization: Extend or modify existing plugins to better fit your needs

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a custom plugin vs an existing one?
Custom plugins make sense when existing plugins do not fit your needs, when you need to integrate with proprietary systems, or when you want to avoid plugin bloat. If an existing plugin does 90% of what you need, customizing it is often more cost-effective than building from scratch.
How long does plugin development take?
Simple plugins with focused functionality take 1-2 weeks. Complex plugins with admin interfaces, API integrations, and custom database tables take 4-8 weeks. I provide a timeline estimate after reviewing your requirements in detail.
Will my plugin work with future WordPress updates?
Yes. I build plugins following WordPress coding standards and best practices. This means using proper hooks and filters instead of modifying core files, which ensures compatibility with WordPress updates. I also offer maintenance plans to address any compatibility issues.
Can you modify or extend an existing plugin?
Yes. Many projects involve extending existing plugins rather than building from scratch. I can add features, fix bugs, or customize behavior. For commercial plugins, this is typically done through hooks and filters rather than modifying the plugin directly.
Do you build plugins for the WordPress.org directory?
I can build plugins intended for public distribution on WordPress.org. This requires following additional guidelines for code review, documentation, and support. Most of my plugin work is for private business use, but I am happy to discuss public plugin projects.
