Plugin Development
Marketplace plugins ship 50 features you’ll never touch and the JavaScript weight to match. I build the one thing you actually need, to WordPress coding standards, and you own the code outright when it ships.
My own plugins run on 10,000+ sites, built to the same standards yours will be

What it costs
A simple utility sits near the base price. Admin screens, integrations, and custom tables raise the quote, and you approve the number before a line of code exists.
Extending or patching an existing plugin is usually a smaller job. Ask first.
All prices include GST.
How this runs
We define the exact problem, the one job the plugin does, and how it fits your stack. If an existing plugin already does the whole job well, I’ll name it and save you the fee.
You leave with: a one-job spec and a fixed quote.
I write it to WordPress coding standards: sanitized inputs, escaped output, prepared queries, capability checks. The plugin hooks into official APIs, so core updates don’t threaten it.
You leave with: a working plugin on staging.
I profile the performance impact, test for conflicts with your theme and existing plugins, and verify behavior on a copy of your real site, not a blank sandbox.
You leave with: a performance and conflict report.
You get the plugin, the documentation, and the ownership. If you want it maintained against future WordPress and PHP versions, that’s an optional path, not a lock-in.
You leave with: code you own and can hand to any developer.
The first question I ask is whether the plugin should exist. If a well-maintained existing plugin does the whole job, I’ll tell you to use it, because building custom for a solved problem wastes your money and my reputation.
When custom is right, I build narrow. One job, only the code that job needs, assets loaded only where they’re used, and a clean uninstall that leaves no debris. The average marketplace plugin ships many times the code you’ll use, and you pay for that on every page load.
Security isn’t a feature tier. Every input is sanitized, every output escaped, every query prepared, every action capability-checked. That’s the floor, not the premium version.

Before you write in
Not answered here? Ask directly and you will hear back within 24 hours.
Projects start at ₹40,000, including GST. A focused utility sits near that floor; plugins with admin screens, integrations, or custom database tables cost more. You get a fixed quote against a written spec before any code gets written.
When one fits, you should, and I’ll say so in the scoping call. Custom wins when the free options are bloated, abandoned, or missing the piece your business runs on. General plugins carry code for every use case; yours carries code for exactly one.
That’s the design goal. I build on stable core APIs and hooks, not fragile workarounds, so updates pass through harmlessly. If you want active testing against each new WordPress release, the maintenance path covers it.
Often, yes, and it’s usually cheaper. I extend through the plugin’s own hooks wherever possible, so your changes survive its updates. If the existing code is beyond saving, I’ll show you why before proposing a rebuild.
You do, fully. Documented, version-controlled, and yours to hand to any developer. No licensing hooks, no phone-home checks, no dependency on me staying in business.
About me
A WordPress Core contributor with plugins running on more than 10,000 sites.
Development clients get the person who ships his own plugins, not a project manager.
I was a teacher before I was a developer. I taught mathematics to competitive-exam students, which is why I explain hard things plainly instead of hiding behind jargon.
What I am actually good at is the join: technical SEO, fast front-ends, and content treated as one system instead of three vendors blaming each other.
Tell me the workflow you’re fighting and the plugins you’re currently stitching together. I’ll reply with a spec, a fixed quote, or the name of an existing plugin that already solves it.
