WordPress Plugin Development London

Most bespoke plugins run from four to twelve weeks, with more complex ecommerce or integration projects landing beyond that. Timelines depend on scope, the number of systems involved, the depth of testing required and how quickly feedback comes back from your team. We work in clear stages with regular updates, so you always know what’s coming next. After discovery we give you a realistic timeline grounded in the actual scope of the work.

Both. Sometimes the right answer is a fresh, bespoke plugin built around your business. Other times it makes more sense to extend or tidy up a plugin you already use, saving budget and avoiding unnecessary rebuilds. We assess what you have, weigh up the options honestly and recommend the route that gives you the best long-term result. The aim is the most cost-effective fit for your business, whatever the route.

Yes. Building safely with WooCommerce means using its built-in tools and APIs properly, never altering WordPress itself, and testing thoroughly against real shop conditions. Our extensions are written to survive WooCommerce and WordPress updates without breaking checkout, orders or stock. Your store takes real orders and real money, so we build it to stay reliable.

Yes, almost always. We’ve built plugin integrations across CRMs, ERPs, payment gateways, accounting tools, marketing platforms, shipping providers and custom client APIs. CRMs are one of our most-requested integrations, and we’ve done just as much work with ERPs. Each integration is built around secure requests, reliable webhooks and smart error handling, so your data stays accurate and your team stops chasing data errors. If your system has an API or webhook, we can almost certainly connect it to WordPress.

We plan for compatibility from the start, by reviewing everything the plugin has to work alongside. Plugin compatibility comes from proper discovery, where we review your current theme, plugins, hosting and PHP versions, then design the plugin to work cleanly alongside everything already installed. We test in a staging environment that mirrors your live site, so any conflicts are caught and resolved before they reach your customers or your team.

We build performance into the architecture from the start. We write efficient database calls, avoid unnecessary requests, use caching properly and keep page files small. Each plugin is tested under realistic conditions, including high traffic and big catalogues, before it goes live. The result is custom functionality that earns its place, without harming page speed scores or your hosting costs.

Security is treated as a top priority throughout. We follow WordPress coding standards, check and clean all data going in and out, use safe database queries, tighten permissions and protect any open access points. Code is reviewed by another developer and tested for common security risks before launch. We also keep dependencies current and update responsibly, so your plugin doesn’t quietly become the weak point in your setup.

Yes. We’ve built and maintained plugins across multisite setups for organisations running multiple brands, regions or sub-sites from a single WordPress installation. Multisite has its own quirks around shared databases, network-wide setup and per-site settings, and our plugins are built with those realities in mind. If you run a multisite environment, we’ll plan for it properly from day one rather than retrofitting later.

You own the code fully. Once the plugin is delivered, it’s yours to host, edit and extend or hand to another developer however suits your business. We write to current WordPress standards, document the architecture properly and structure the code so another developer can pick it up later. There are no tie-ins and nothing hidden in the code, just readable, well-documented files any developer can work with.
