Why Weavelinx

What you actually get.

OOP plugin architecture

Namespaced, autoloaded, Composer-managed. Plugins that survive core updates and play nicely with others.

Hooks API mastery

Actions and filters used as designed — not `wp_head` hacks. Clean, predictable, reversible code.

WooCommerce depth

Custom product types, checkout hooks, payment gateway integrations, subscription logic, and order workflows.

WordPress security standards

Nonces, capability checks, prepared queries, output escaping — the WP security checklist followed properly.

Gutenberg block development

Custom @wordpress/blocks with InspectorControls, server-side rendering, and block.json schema.

Performance on WP

Object cache, query optimisation, lazy loading, and Core Web Vitals tuning on WordPress sites.

How it works

From enquiry to active.

01

Share what you are building

Plugin from scratch, WooCommerce extension, theme, or migration? Context shapes who we match you with.

02

Profiles & code samples

Receive profiles with GitHub repositories, WP.org plugin links, and code review excerpts.

03

Code review interview

A short live code review of a sample plugin is our preferred screen. Reveals thinking, not just output.

04

On your site, building

Dev environment set up, coding standards agreed, and the first plugin commit in under a week.

Common questions

FAQ

Yes. Pre-migration crawl, 301 redirect mapping, canonical handling, and Search Console monitoring post-launch.

Yes. Network admin screens, per-site settings, and plugin/theme compatibility across multisite installs.

Our developers are fluent in PHP 7.4 through 8.3. We are comfortable modernising legacy code alongside active development.
