Custom WordPress plugin development

From a single feature to a full platform: I offer custom WordPress plugin development for WordPress, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms and more. Every plugin is built the way I build the add-ons I sell on this site, with structure, tests and updates.

  • WordPress, WooCommerce and Gravity Forms
  • Coding standards and tests
  • Updates included

Sound familiar?

When no plugin does exactly what you need

“We have twelve plugins doing one job.”

Each one slows the site down a little, and none of them quite fits.

“Our custom code lives in functions.php.”

Snippets added over the years, no structure, and nobody dares to touch them.

“The plugin we rely on was abandoned.”

No updates, no support, and a warning in your dashboard every time WordPress updates.

What I build

Plugins for WordPress, WooCommerce and Gravity Forms

One well-built plugin instead of a stack of half-fits. These are the kinds of plugins I build.

WordPress plugins

Custom post types, admin screens, REST API endpoints and blocks for whatever your site needs to do.

WooCommerce plugin development

Checkout rules, order flows, payment visibility, pricing and emails, built on WooCommerce’s hooks so updates stay safe.

WooCommerce development →

Gravity Forms add-on development

Fields, feeds and payment add-ons on the official framework. Five of my own are for sale on this site.

Gravity Forms development →

API integrations

Plugins that connect WordPress to an outside service, with background jobs, retries and logs.

WordPress API integrations →

Admin apps in React

Modern admin screens built with WordPress’s own React tools: configurators, wizards and batch tools.

Rescue and refactor

Loose snippets and abandoned plugins turned into one maintained plugin with structure and tests.

From a real project

A white-label platform, built as one plugin

A safety software company wanted to run a branded app for every client from one WordPress multisite, without setting up each site by hand.

Result: new client sites are set up from templates instead of by hand.

What I built

  • A module installer that adds forms, views and pages to any site, with IDs remapped automatically
  • A site duplicator that copies a template site with its data, files, users and branding
  • React admin screens for the brand configurator and a setup wizard
  • A REST API for branding, modules and duplication
  • Custom Gravity Forms merge tags and field types, shared by every client site

This Guy Was ALL PRO…. We didn’t even know we needed what he made for us. We asked for a “5” and he gave us a “10”.

Reviews

What clients say about working with me

  • I was stuck on getting custom coding done for my website. My Gravity Forms support person referred Geek on the Road. I reached out to Johan from Geek and also posted for help on Fiverr. Within hours, I received a response from both platforms. Johan is getting a 5-star review; the other fell behind.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the plugin?

You do. It’s written for your project and stays yours, with the source code and notes.

Can you build a plugin I can sell?

Yes. I sell my own add-ons with licence keys and automatic updates, and can set up the same for your plugin.

Will it keep working with new WordPress versions?

I build on public hooks and APIs and follow the coding standards. With a maintenance plan, I test and update it when WordPress, WooCommerce or Gravity Forms change.

Can you take over an existing plugin?

Yes. I review the code first, then fix, extend or rebuild it, whichever costs you less in the long run.

Can you publish my plugin on WordPress.org?

Yes. Live Summary has a free version there; I can prepare and submit your plugin the same way.
