WordPress Plugin Development
Tailored to your requirements

Do you need a feature that no existing plugin offers? I develop individual WordPress plugins – cleanly programmed, performant and maintainable.

The problem

Why standard plugins are not enough

No suitable plugin

60,000+ plugins in the directory, but none does exactly what you need. Compromises cost time and nerves.

Plugin bloat

Many plugins come with 90% features you never use. That costs performance and slows your site down.

Vendor lock-in

What happens if the provider stops or doubles their prices? Dependency is a risk.

Plugin conflicts

Multiple plugins for different partial functions? That often leads to conflicts and compatibility issues.

A custom plugin contains only what you really need – without bloat, with optimal code. You get full control and are not dependent on third-party providers.

I develop according to WordPress Coding Standards with clean, documented code. Every plugin is tested and ready for future WordPress updates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about plugin development

That depends on the scope. A simple plugin with custom post types can be ready in a few days. More complex plugins with API integrations and admin interface require several weeks. After an initial conversation I can give you a realistic timeframe.

Yes! I develop according to WordPress Coding Standards and document the code extensively. You can extend the plugin yourself at any time or have it extended by another developer. You receive the complete source code without restrictions.

That depends on the requirements. Sometimes it is enough to adapt an existing plugin with hooks and filters. For special requirements new development is often cleaner and more maintainable. I am happy to advise you on the optimal solution.

Yes. I offer maintenance contracts for custom plugins – including updates for new WordPress versions, bug fixes and minor extensions. This gives you security for long-term operation.

Yes, I develop custom blocks for the WordPress block editor with React. This is ideal if you want to provide your editors with special content blocks.

I develop according to WordPress best practices and use official APIs. This minimises compatibility issues. With major WordPress updates (e.g. to a new major version) I test the plugin and adapt it if necessary.
