A plugin idea needs product architecture
Turn a feature brief into a maintainable plugin structure with clear data, permissions, extension points, and upgrade paths.
WordPress plugin development
Production WordPress plugins built to survive real users and future releases
I build and maintain WordPress plugins as products, not one-off code drops. That includes clean PHP architecture, editor integrations, upgrade paths, compatibility work, and the release discipline needed when thousands of sites depend on the result.
Problems I solve
Where I can make the biggest difference
A live plugin is becoming fragile
Untangle legacy PHP and JavaScript, fix compatibility regressions, and introduce changes without breaking existing content.
Free and Pro versions are drifting
Build a coherent free-to-paid architecture with licensing, feature boundaries, release workflows, and shared foundations.
Deliverables
What you can bring me in to deliver
- Custom plugin architecture and implementation
- Admin, REST API, cron, webhook, and third-party integrations
- Free and Pro product flows with Freemius where appropriate
- Data migrations and backward-compatible upgrade routines
- Automated checks, release notes, and handover documentation
- Performance, security, and WordPress coding-standards review

- 02
Architecture and milestones
Map data ownership, plugin boundaries, permissions, APIs, release stages, and acceptance criteria.
- 03
Build and verify
Ship in reviewable increments and test against supported WordPress, PHP, browser, and plugin combinations.

“Farhan demonstrated an exemplary level of expertise as a WordPress Gutenberg developer throughout our work together. He built GalleryBerg and Productberg from scratch, and SliderBerg and TableBerg carry the same level of craft. Thank you for the job well done.”

FAQ
Questions about wordpress plugin development
Can you work on an existing WordPress plugin?
Yes. I can audit the current architecture, fix targeted issues, add features, or take ownership of an ongoing release roadmap.
Do you build both free and premium plugins?
Yes. I have production experience with free and Pro feature boundaries, Freemius licensing, upgrades, and backward-compatible releases.
How do you avoid breaking existing sites?
Changes are designed around stored data and historical behavior, then verified with migrations, compatibility checks, and staged releases.
