Custom business functionality
Rules, calculations, and logic specific to how your business works, implemented properly inside WordPress rather than bolted onto the side of it.
Custom WordPress Plugin Development
Custom WordPress plugin development, built around your requirement
When nothing in the plugin directory fits, or the closest option only half fits, Pomnex builds a plugin that does exactly what your business needs.
- Built to your exact requirement
- Clean, maintainable code
- Security reviewed
- Small projects from $490
What we build
Custom WordPress plugins for the requirement you actually have
Examples of what custom development covers. Each one is built specifically for the business that asked for it.
Custom admin tools
Screens, settings, and bulk actions built for the people who run the site every day, so routine work stops needing a developer.
Automation
Work that happens by hand today, like imports, exports, notifications, and scheduled jobs, moved into code that runs on its own.
API integrations
WordPress connected to the services your business already runs on: CRMs, ERPs, payment providers, shipping, internal systems.
WooCommerce functionality
Pricing rules, product logic, checkout behaviour, and order workflows that WooCommerce and its extensions do not cover on their own.
Custom dashboards
Reporting and operational views built from data your site already holds, presented the way the people using it need to read it.
Third-party service integrations
Data moving both ways between WordPress and an external tool, with the failure cases handled rather than ignored.
Internal business workflows
Approval steps, role-specific screens, and internal processes running inside WordPress instead of in a spreadsheet beside it.
A custom plugin needs looking after once it's delivered, so it keeps working as WordPress changes. Ongoing WordPress maintenance takes care of that.
Examples from our work
WordPress plugins we've built and published
Most custom work stays under the client's name. These plugins are ours, so the source code is public and you can read exactly how we write it.
Open source
Pomnex Update Check
A free plugin that checks a site's most important pages after every WordPress, plugin, or theme update, and emails the owner if something broke, before a customer notices.
- WordPress 6.2+
- PHP 7.4+
- WooCommerce
- PHPUnit tests
- GPLv3
- Watches up to 5 pages, such as checkout, contact, and login, each with a marker that must stay on the page
- Runs after manual and automatic updates, and compares each page with its last working state
- Catches missing elements, broken shortcodes, visible PHP errors, stylesheets or scripts that fail to load, and pages that got slower
- Keeps an update log: what changed, from which version to which, and what the check found
- Runs entirely on the site: no account, no external service, no data sent anywhere
NEAR Donation Button
Accept NEAR Protocol donations on any WordPress site with a block or a shortcode. Only an administrator can set the recipient, and it is verified on chain. Amounts are handled without rounding errors, and the wallet code loads only when a visitor reaches the form.
- Gutenberg block
- Shortcode
- Web3
- Lazy-loaded scripts
Power Attorney System
Account delegation for WordPress: a user authorises someone they trust to act on their behalf, with approval, optional expiry, one-click account switching, and a full activity log. The account owner's password and email stay locked while a delegate is switched in.
- Activity log
- Multisite
- Arabic and RTL
- Front-end dashboard
Every plugin we publish is built to the standards on this page, and its code is open for anyone to review. See all our plugins on GitHub
How we build
Our development principles
The same standards we hold the systems we operate ourselves to.
Clean code
Readable WordPress code that follows the usual conventions, so another developer can understand it and keep working on it easily.
Clear architecture
The structure is decided before the first line is written, so the plugin stays understandable as it grows past its first version.
High security
Input validated, output escaped, capabilities checked, queries prepared. All of it is part of how the code is written from the start.
Compatibility
Built on the official WordPress APIs and standards, so core, theme, and plugin updates go through without surprises.
Maintainability
Documented, consistent, and well organized, so a change six months from now is a small job.
Scalability
Written to handle the data volume you expect to reach in the future.
Process
How a custom plugin project runs
Five steps, with the approach and the price agreed before any code is written.
Tell us what you need
Describe the problem in your own words. You don't need a technical specification; a description of what your business needs is enough to start.
We review the requirements
We work out what the plugin has to do, ask about the cases that are not obvious yet, and look at what your site already runs.
We propose the approach and quote
You get the technical approach, the scope, and the price in writing before anything is committed to.
We develop and test
The plugin is built and tested on a copy of your actual site, with its settings and plugins.
We deploy and support
We deploy it, confirm it behaves in production, and stay available for what comes after launch.
Pricing
How much a custom WordPress plugin costs
Every project gets its own written quote, but you shouldn't have to ask just to find out whether we fit your budget.
Small projects start from
$490one-time, per project
A small project is one clear feature with a defined scope: built, tested on a copy of your site, deployed, and supported after launch. The price is fixed in writing before any code is written.
What a small project usually looks like
- A custom admin screen, setting, or bulk action
- A WooCommerce pricing, product, or checkout rule
- A shortcode or block that shows data your site already has
- A one-way connection to a single external service
- Extending an existing plugin through its hooks, so the change survives updates
What moves a project above the starting price
- Integrations with several systems, or data syncing both ways
- Handling the failure cases of external APIs: retries, queues, and alerts
- Custom dashboards, reports, or complex user roles
- Large data volumes or high-traffic WooCommerce stores
- Multisite, multilingual, or an unusual hosting setup
You get the scope and a fixed price in writing first. If the work grows, we quote the change before doing it.
Who it's for
Who we build custom WordPress plugins for
Different starting points, one problem in common: WordPress does not do the thing you need it to do.
Businesses
Companies whose day-to-day depends on WordPress doing something specific that nothing on the market does.
Website owners
Owners who have hit the ceiling of what page builders and off-the-shelf plugins can be configured into doing.
Agencies
Agencies who need a plugin built properly for a client project, on their own delivery timeline.
WooCommerce businesses
Stores with pricing, shipping, or checkout rules that WooCommerce and its extensions do not cover.
Companies needing custom WordPress functionality
Teams connecting WordPress to the internal systems the rest of the business already runs on.
FAQ
Custom plugin development FAQ
The questions people ask us before requesting a quote.
How much does a custom WordPress plugin cost?
Small projects start from $490: one clear feature, such as a custom admin tool or a WooCommerce rule. Larger work, like an integration with several systems, costs more because it is a bigger job. We send a fixed written quote for each project after reviewing your requirements, so the price is based on your actual scope.
How long does plugin development take?
A small, well-defined plugin is usually a matter of days. Something that integrates with external systems, and has to handle their failure cases, takes longer. You get a timeline together with the quote, once the requirements are clear enough to commit to one.
Can you integrate WordPress with an external API?
Yes. API integration is one of the things clients ask us for most: connecting WordPress to a CRM, an ERP, a payment or shipping provider, or an internal system, with authentication, retries, and error handling included in the work.
Can you build custom WooCommerce functionality?
Yes. We build custom WooCommerce plugins for pricing rules, product logic, checkout behaviour, order workflows, and integrations with the systems that handle fulfilment or accounting.
Can you modify an existing plugin?
Often, yes, but the approach matters. We avoid editing a third-party plugin's own files, because its next update would erase the change. Instead we extend it through its hooks and filters, or build a companion plugin alongside it, so your customisation survives updates.
Will the plugin be compatible with future WordPress updates?
We build on WordPress's documented APIs and coding standards, which keeps a plugin working across new core releases. Still, any plugin needs some attention as WordPress evolves, which is why we offer our ongoing WordPress maintenance plan.
