New Stories plugin for your Community!

Custom development

Talk to the people who actually built it.

Most custom work on a plugin means hiring someone who’s guessing at how it’s built. Here, you’re talking to the team that wrote PeepSo — priced by the hour, scoped before anything starts, with support included after it ships.

A custom feature we built

What we actually build

What people actually hire us for.

This isn’t a menu of packages. It’s the work that actually comes up once a community outgrows the default setup.

Plugin Customization

A feature that doesn’t exist yet

Something specific to how your community works, built as a real feature instead of a workaround.

Theme Design

A theme that looks like your brand

Custom design work so the community doesn’t look like a default install with your logo pasted on.

Integrations

A plugin that talks to PeepSo

Integration work so a third-party or custom WordPress plugin actually works with your community instead of next to it.

Add-on Development

An add-on built for one thing

A focused tool built for exactly what you need, instead of a general plugin with most of it unused.

Migration Services

Moving without losing anything

Migration help when the standard plugin doesn’t quite cover your setup.

Performance Optimization

A site that stays fast as it grows

Performance work when a community that used to feel instant starts to feel slow.

How it actually works

Four steps, not a sales funnel.

No packages to pick from before anyone understands what you need. Just a straightforward path from a question to a working feature.

  1. You describe the problem

    Not a feature spec — just what’s not working or what you wish the community could do.

  2. You get a real quote

    Scoped in hours at $100/hour, so you know the cost before anything starts. Projects under 20 hours usually get handled directly, no extra layer.

  3. It gets built and tested

    Larger projects get structured progress tracking; smaller ones just get built. Either way, you’re not the one testing it cold.

  4. Support doesn’t end at launch

    Ongoing maintenance is included, so a custom feature doesn’t become the one thing nobody can touch six months later.

What it actually costs

Here’s what this actually costs.

Development time is quoted upfront. Payment works by wire transfer, credit card, or PayPal, with installments available on larger projects.

$100/hr

Developer time, quoted upfront. Project management is separate and only applies to larger builds.

<20 hrs

Smaller projects are usually handled directly with you — no added management layer in between.

$5,000+

Projects at this size come with lifetime access to the Ultimate Bundle across 5 sites, plus priority support.

A quick note: core PeepSo files don’t get hand-edited for anyone, including on your own site — it breaks eligibility for updates and support. Custom work is built as proper plugins and add-ons instead, so it keeps working as PeepSo itself keeps updating.

If a project doesn’t fit this budget, you’ll be pointed toward other developers who can take it on, instead of being pushed into a project that isn’t the right fit.

Why build it with the people who made PeepSo

You’re not hiring someone who read the documentation.

Custom work on any plugin is a gamble on whether the developer actually understands how it’s built. Here, that’s not a gamble.

Direct

No middleman

You work with the team that built PeepSo, not a subcontractor translating your request to them.

Scoped

Priced before it starts

An hourly rate and a real estimate, not a vague package that expands once work begins.

Supported

Maintained after launch

Ongoing support is part of the deal, so a custom feature keeps working as PeepSo itself keeps updating.

Before you reach out

Honest answers before you commit.

Start here, then reach out directly if a custom project still makes sense.

Can I just edit PeepSo’s code myself instead?

You can, but it’s not recommended — direct edits to core files are usually overwritten by updates and can void support eligibility. Custom add-ons avoid that problem.

What if my project is too small for this to make sense?

If the budget doesn’t fit, you’ll be pointed toward other developers who can take it on, instead of being pushed into a project that isn’t the right fit.

How is a project priced?

Development time is quoted at $100 an hour. Projects under about 20 hours are usually handled directly with you; larger ones get structured progress tracking.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, for larger projects. Payment can be made by wire transfer, credit card, or PayPal, with installment options available.
