WordPress Origin Story

While working on a clients WordPress site, we found that they wanted several needs they had, that could be handled by creating custom functions in the theme, or downloading a plugin that did that one thing. The client had already installed several one use plugins, and managing them with update staging became cumbersome and time consuming. We found ourselves managing plugins as much as writing the code the client needed. What’s more is that sometimes the plugin updates conflicted with WordPress versions, and other plugins.

After checking the resources being used with all of the plugins installed, and without we noticed a considerable load time and resource usage decrease when there weren’t so many plugins installed. It seemed logical that if we built one plugin to do all of the minutia and commonly used features that were between the range of entry level developer work in a functions.php file, and simple feature for a single use plugin we may be able to consolidate the workload. A while-you’re-at-the-store approach, saving a site owner the effort of learning PHP and writing their own, or having to hire someone for simple features.

Once we deliberated about the most common requests we found, we narrowed our deliverable list to 10-20 potential beta features to see if there was any interest in such an animal. If a simple feature isn’t in our plugin, we’ll gladly add it, within reason. We know there are large companies which already do heavy lifting with ecommerce and complex form creation, so trying to extend too much into an already fulfilled market didn’t seem like a good investment of effort and time.

Now that we have our beta release we’re looking to improve it by adding more to provide a robust array of optional features. We’ve already found several features which could use more custom editing, and creative placement choices, so it seems clear our work has just begun.
