Capability 07
Theme & Plugin Development
Custom WordPress and Shopify themes and plugins built to your spec, not adapted from a marketplace template.
Overview
Marketplace themes and plugins are built to be generic enough for thousands of buyers, which means yours will always carry code you don't need and lack the one feature you actually do. We build the theme or plugin around your specific design and functionality requirement, with only the code your site needs.
This includes custom WordPress themes and functionality plugins, Shopify theme customization in Liquid, and maintaining or extending existing custom builds that a previous developer left undocumented.
What's Included
- Custom WordPress theme development
- Custom functionality plugins
- Shopify theme customization (Liquid)
- Plugin/theme maintenance & updates
- Performance optimization
- Migration away from page-builder bloat

Questions
What clients ask before starting.
Can you fix or extend a theme someone else built?+
Yes, this is a common request. We start with a code review to understand what's there before quoting changes, since undocumented custom themes vary wildly in quality.
Will this survive a WordPress or Shopify core update?+
That's specifically what we build for, custom code following each platform's update conventions, so a core update doesn't break your site the way a hacked-together theme would.
Do you provide ongoing plugin maintenance?+
Yes, as a monthly retainer covering compatibility updates, security patches, and small feature requests.
