WordPress products we ship and maintain

Why this matters

Most "WordPress developers" have shipped one site, not one hundred.

The freelance market is full of people who can build a brochure site. The moment your project hits BuddyPress, multisite, custom WooCommerce, REST APIs at scale, or a real plugin architecture, you need a different developer. We are that developer. We have shipped over 100 plugins and themes, we run our own products in production, and we treat every engagement like the code is going to live for a decade. Because some of ours have.

What you get

A senior engineer who has done this before.

Real seniority. Real shipping experience. Production-quality code from commit one. Architecture before code. Fixed scope, fixed price. Handoff your team can extend.

01

Senior, not junior dressed up as senior

Every developer on our team has shipped at least 10 production WordPress plugins or themes. No bait and switch. The person who sits the discovery call is the person who writes the code.

Onboarding ramp measured in days, not weeks.

02

Shipped what you need

BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, WooCommerce, LearnDash, MemberPress, Easy Digital Downloads, GravityForms, Elementor, ACF, custom Gutenberg blocks, REST API, multisite. We have shipped at production scale on every one.

No "let me look that up" mid-engagement.

03

Production code from commit one

WPCS, PHPStan level 5, PHPUnit tests, escaping, sanitization, capability checks, nonce checks. Every commit goes to staging behind a feature flag. No "we will fix it later" technical debt.

Pass any WordPress security audit cleanly.

04

Architecture before code

Hooks and filters identified. Database schema reviewed. Performance budget locked. We design the change before we write it. The result holds up under traffic and scales past launch.

No "the new feature broke production" weeks.

05

Fixed scope, fixed price

Discovery produces a written scope. The scope produces a fixed-price quote. The quote does not change unless the scope changes. No surprise invoices.

Budget predictable from week one.

06

Hand off so your team can extend

Code documented for your team to maintain. CLAUDE.md or equivalent so the next engineer (yours or AI-assisted) gets up to speed in minutes. We do not build dependence.

Your team owns the code at the end.

100+

WordPress plugins and themes shipped, with hundreds of thousands of active installs

Including products on the WordPress.org repository and our own EDD-powered store.

How engagements work

From inquiry to handoff in three phases.

01

Discovery

One week. Discovery call within 48 hours of inquiry. We audit your existing WordPress install, scope the work, and ship a fixed-price quote. You approve before we write code.

Fixed scope, fixed price.

02

Build

Two to twelve weeks. Production-quality code from commit one. WPCS, PHPStan, PHPUnit tests in CI from day one. Staging available within 7 days. Weekly check-ins.

You see real work weekly.

03

Handoff

One week. Documentation, code walkthrough, deploy runbook, training session for your team. We step back when your team can maintain the code without us.

Your team owns the code at the end.

Common questions

Frequently asked

  1. How fast can you start?

    Discovery call within 48 hours of inquiry. Discovery and quote within one week. Engineering can typically start within two weeks of contract signature. Faster for emergencies.

  2. Do you work hourly or fixed-price?

    Fixed-price for defined projects. Hourly only for retainers and ongoing maintenance. Most clients prefer fixed-price for new builds because the budget is predictable.

  3. What about emergency or rescue work?

    We take emergency engagements when our schedule allows. Same-day discovery call. Quote within 24 hours. Engineering starts within 48 hours for production-down situations. Premium pricing applies.

  4. Can you work with our existing WordPress team?

    Yes. Many clients use us as embedded senior support to their existing team. We integrate with your code review, deploy pipeline, and project management. The handoff at the end of the engagement matters more than the work during it.

  5. Do you build custom themes? Plugins? Both?

    Both, plus custom Gutenberg blocks, custom REST endpoints, multisite networks, custom WP-CLI commands, BuddyPress and BuddyBoss extensions, WooCommerce payment gateways, and headless WordPress with Astro frontends. If it runs on WordPress, we have shipped it.

  6. What does it cost?

    Discrete projects are scope-dependent (a focused fix or small feature). Typical mid-size projects (custom plugin, theme, or migration) are scoped after discovery. Large engagements can run higher based on scope. Discovery call is free.
