That idea in your head? Let me help you build it.

Do you have a new plugin idea? Let me help you build it.

Building a new plugin is a collaborative, creative, and rewarding experience. Here’s what you should expect when working with me.

A Competitor Analysis

Let’s look at what’s out there and determine what keywords you’d like to rank for. Then, we can use what we’ve found to flesh out what needs to be in the MVP and discuss any branding concerns.

Project Brainstorming

We’ll create a mindmap of all significant features, categorize them using a KanBan board, and prioritize what should be in the MVP.

A Project Plan

The MVP will be broken down into tasks, and a timeline will be developed with the tasks and estimated effort involved. Discovery is complete at this phase, and you can decide to proceed with the project’s start.

Wireframes Galore

Wireframes for UI elements will be created, with proposals for desired user flow and adherence to best practices. Wireframes help ensure no surprises as the plugin begins to take shape.

Plugin Development

Plugin development begins, and you are kept in the loop every step of the way through task and milestone updates. Code progress can be tracked via access to a private GitHub repository.

User Acceptance Testing

The MVP has been reached. Now, let’s test it to ensure it meets your requirements.

Plugin Release

We’ll release the plugin on your site, WordPress.org, or internally.

Ongoing Maintenance

We’ll set up a maintenance agreement and plan any new features if desired.

Have an existing plugin?

Here are a few ways I can help you with your WordPress plugin.

An Admin Refresh

Do you need a new fancy React admin, or do you need help organizing your admin options? I can help you refresh your admin and provide a better user experience.

EDD Integration

Easy Digital Downloads can be cumbersome to install and set up. I’ll guide you through each step so that you can integrate EDD into your plugin and site so you can start selling software.

Plugin Modifications

Do you have a custom or off-the-shelf plugin that needs modifications? I can help you get it working just the way you like it.

Documentation

Writing a plugin and documenting it is challenging. I’ll help document the plugin and list any problematic areas in functionality.

Code Auditing and Standards Adherence

I’ll help audit your code, recommend security and coding standards, and implement the changes on your behalf. I’ll even help get your plugin submitted to .org.

API Integrations

I can do the heavy lifting if you need help integrating with a third-party API. I’ll map the flow, suggest UI/UX changes, and integrate the API with your plugin.

September 21, 2023

CSS Crafter is a collection of hand-crafted CSS snippets that work with the Blocks CSS WordPress plugin. Created by friend Gobinda Tarafdar, I was intrigued by the initial concept and wondered why I had to install a third-party plugin (and block suite) to get the items to function.
