CUSTOM WORDPRESS PLUGIN DEVELOPMENT

When No Off-the-Shelf Plugin Fits

A plugin built to exactly what your site needs — not three general-purpose plugins bolted together and hoped for the best.

From £697 · 2-4 weeks for a well-scoped build
WHAT THIS IS FOR

A few common briefs

A missing feature that no existing plugin covers cleanly, or that would need three plugins bolted together to approximate

A custom integration between WordPress and another system you use — a booking tool, a CRM, an internal database

Site-specific automation: custom post types, admin workflows, or front-end functionality tailored to exactly how your business works

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps

STEP 01

Scope the requirement

We confirm exactly what the plugin needs to do, which WordPress hooks and data it touches, and how it should behave alongside your existing theme and other plugins.

STEP 02

Build & test

Built to current WordPress coding standards, tested against your actual site and plugin stack — not a clean sandbox install that doesn't reflect your real environment.

STEP 03

Deliver & document

You get the finished plugin, its source code, and a short written note on how to use and maintain it.

Current WordPress coding standards
Full source code, no lock-in
Optional ongoing maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just use a free plugin from the WordPress directory?

For a lot of needs, you should — we'll tell you honestly if a free or lower-cost existing plugin already does what you want. This service is for the specific cases where nothing does, or where combining several plugins to get there would be slower, more fragile, and harder to maintain than one purpose-built plugin.

Is £697 the full cost for any plugin?

£697 covers a well-scoped, single-purpose plugin. More complex builds (multiple integrations, custom database structures, ongoing maintenance) are quoted separately once we understand the brief.

Will it keep working after WordPress updates?

We build to current WordPress coding standards specifically to minimise breakage from routine updates. We don't include ongoing maintenance in the base price, but it's available separately if you want us to keep it updated as WordPress and your other plugins evolve.

Do I own the code?

Yes — full source code, yours to keep, modify, or hand to another developer at any point.

How long does it take?

Typically 2-4 weeks for a well-scoped single-purpose plugin, from confirmed brief to delivered, tested build.
