WordPress Development FAQs
- How long does it take to develop a custom plugin?
Simple plugins take 4-6 weeks, complex plugins 6-10 weeks, and enterprise-level plugins 10-16 weeks. Timeline depends on feature complexity, integration requirements, and revision rounds. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase.
- Do I own the plugin code after development?
Yes, absolutely! You receive full ownership and rights to all plugin code. There are no licensing restrictions, recurring fees, or limitations on how you use, modify, or distribute the plugin.
- Will the plugin work with my existing theme and plugins?
Yes. We build plugins following WordPress coding standards to ensure compatibility with well-coded themes and plugins. We also test with your specific setup before deployment to catch any potential conflicts.
- Can you add features to an existing plugin I use?
We can create an extension plugin that adds functionality to existing plugins without modifying their core code. This approach ensures your additions don’t break when the original plugin updates.
- What if I need updates or new features later?
We offer maintenance plans or hourly rates for updates, bug fixes, and feature additions. Since you own the code, you can also hire any developer to work on it, though we know it best and can work most efficiently.
- How do custom plugins compare to SaaS solutions?
Custom plugins have a higher upfront cost but no recurring fees, giving you full control and ownership. They’re more cost-effective long-term and provide better data security since everything stays on your server.
- Will my plugin be secure?
Security is built into our development process. We follow WordPress security best practices, validate all inputs, sanitize outputs, use prepared database queries, and conduct security audits before deployment.
- Can you help migrate data from my current solution?
Yes! We can build import tools to migrate data from spreadsheets, databases, or other systems into your new plugin. We handle data mapping, transformation, and validation to ensure clean migration.
