FAQ

WordPress Plugins questions

Do you build large commercial plugins?

The best fit is practical site-specific plugin work, internal tooling, workflow fixes, and integration support.

Can plugin code connect to APIs?

Yes. REST APIs, webhooks, JSON payloads, and WordPress-side data handling are a strong fit.

Can you fix existing plugin issues?

Yes. Conflicts, errors, broken admin behavior, and fragile custom code can be inspected.

Why not put code in functions.php?

Small snippets can be fine, but durable site-specific functionality often belongs in a small plugin.
