Question 1

How much does custom WordPress plugin development cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on scope: the number of features, admin UI complexity, third-party integrations, WooCommerce involvement, and testing depth. A focused single-purpose plugin starts at a modest fixed price; complex extensions with payment or ERP integrations cost more. After a short discovery call we provide a fixed, itemized quote so there are no surprises.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a custom plugin?

Accepted Answer

A small utility plugin typically takes two to three weeks including testing. A WooCommerce extension or a plugin with custom Gutenberg blocks and REST API endpoints usually takes six to ten weeks. We share a milestone plan up front and deliver testable staging builds every one to two weeks.

Question 3

Will the plugin break when WordPress or WooCommerce updates?

Accepted Answer

No — that is precisely what our architecture prevents. We never modify core files or themes; all functionality attaches through official hooks, filters, and APIs. We pin against documented interfaces, test each major WordPress and WooCommerce release on staging, and maintenance clients receive compatibility updates before problems reach production.

Question 4

How do you secure the plugins you build?

Accepted Answer

Every plugin follows WordPress security best practices: nonce verification on all forms and AJAX calls, capability checks on every privileged action, sanitized inputs, escaped outputs, and prepared SQL statements. Before release we run a dedicated security review plus static analysis, and we handle secrets and API keys through safe, non-logged storage.

Question 5

Who owns the plugin code and the license?

Accepted Answer

You do. Upon final payment you receive the full source code, documentation, and repository access, and the intellectual property is assigned to you. Because WordPress itself is GPL, distributed plugins inherit GPL-compatible licensing, but for private business plugins this changes nothing in practice — nobody else receives your code, and there are no recurring license fees to us.

Question 6

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our maintenance plans include compatibility testing against every major WordPress, PHP, and WooCommerce release, security patches, error-log monitoring, performance checks, and a bug-fix SLA. You can also book improvement sprints for new features. Maintenance is optional — the documented code can be handed to any competent WordPress developer.

Question 7

Can you take over, fix, or migrate an existing plugin?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We start with a code audit that scores security, performance, and standards compliance, then propose either targeted refactoring or a clean rebuild with data migration. Existing settings, custom post types, and database records are migrated with rollback-tested scripts, so switching over causes no data loss and minimal downtime.

Question 8

Why build a custom plugin instead of buying one off the shelf?

Accepted Answer

Buy off-the-shelf when a well-maintained plugin covers ninety percent of your need. Go custom when your workflow is genuinely specific: you avoid stacking five overlapping plugins, eliminate unused code that slows your site, escape recurring license fees, and own software that evolves with your business instead of a vendor's roadmap. We advise honestly on which path fits.
