Engagement WordPress Engineering
Senior WordPress engineering, not freelance roulette. 100+ plugins shipped, BuddyPress and WooCommerce experts on staff, fixed-price quotes, production-quality code from commit one. Engagements are scope-dependent.
WordPress products we ship and maintain
Why this matters
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
Real seniority. Real shipping experience. Production-quality code from commit one. Architecture before code. Fixed scope, fixed price. Handoff your team can extend.
01
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
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
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
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
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
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
01
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

After 16 years of buying WordPress themes and plugins, I know exactly what bad support looks like and Wbcom Designs is the polar opposite. My setup was a nightmare: multiple tools, deep integrations, custom configurations that required…
