Can you extend the functionality of an existing third-party plugin?
Yes. We follow the “don’t touch core” principle. Instead of modifying the original plugin’s code (which would prevent you from updating it), we use available hooks and filters to create a “bridge” or “addon” plugin. This ensures your site stays functional and you can still receive official security updates from the original provider.
How do you ensure the plugin won’t slow down my site?
We prioritize performance at the database and server levels. This includes using the WordPress Transients API for caching expensive calculations, optimizing SQL queries to avoid “slow logs,” and ensuring that scripts and styles are only loaded on the specific pages where the plugin is active, rather than site-wide.
Do you provide technical documentation for the custom code?
Absolutely. Every plugin we deliver comes with comprehensive documentation. This includes an overview of the architecture, a list of custom hooks for future extensibility, and inline code comments following PHPDoc standards. Any professional developer will be able to step in and maintain the code in the future.
Can your plugins work in a Headless WordPress setup?
Yes. We specialize in building “decoupled-ready” plugins. We can expose your plugin’s custom logic and data through the WP REST API or GraphQL endpoints, allowing it to serve as a backend engine for mobile apps or modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, or Vue.
What happens if a WordPress update breaks the plugin?
By sticking strictly to official WordPress APIs and avoiding “hacky” workarounds, we minimize this risk to nearly zero. However, we also offer proactive maintenance plans where we test your custom plugins in a staging environment before every major WordPress release to ensure 100% uptime.
Do you follow WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS)?
Yes. Our code is regularly audited using PHP_CodeSniffer with WordPress-Specific rules. This ensures that the plugin is secure, follows naming conventions, and is compatible with the broader WordPress ecosystem and hosting environments like WP Engine, Kinsta, or VIP.
Can you migrate data from a legacy system into a new custom plugin?
Migration is a core part of our service. Whether you are moving from a custom CRM, a spreadsheet, or another CMS, we build custom migration scripts to map and import your data into the new plugin’s data structure while maintaining 100% data integrity.
How do you handle plugin security and data protection?
We implement multiple layers of security, including Nonce verification (to prevent CSRF attacks), strict data sanitization on input, and escaping on output. For plugins handling sensitive data, we ensure compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection standards.
Can a custom plugin manage high-volume scheduled tasks?
Yes. For tasks like syncing thousands of products or sending bulk notifications, we move the heavy lifting away from the standard WP-Cron. We configure server-level Crontabs or use specialized libraries to ensure background tasks run reliably without affecting the user experience on the frontend.
Who owns the rights to the custom plugin once it’s finished?
You do. Once the final payment is made, 100% of the intellectual property and source code belongs to your company. You are free to modify it, redistribute it, or even sell it as a standalone product.
