FAQ
Common work includes custom plugins, existing plugin modifications, admin tools, custom post types, settings screens, scheduled tasks, WooCommerce extensions, shortcodes, REST APIs, webhooks, and database-backed workflows.
Often yes, when the plugin exposes hooks, filters, templates, APIs, or documented extension points. Directly editing vendor plugin files is usually avoided because updates overwrite those changes.
Yes. REST APIs, webhooks, authentication, JSON payloads, retries, logging, and WordPress-side data handling are a strong fit.
Small plugins can sometimes be scoped in hours. Larger integrations depend on requirements, third-party API behavior, data model, testing needs, and compatibility risk.
Project ownership should be clear before work starts. For site-specific plugin work, the practical goal is usually code the site owner can keep using and maintain.
Small presentation snippets can be fine, but durable site-specific functionality usually belongs in a small plugin so it is not tied to a theme change.
