Custom features
The extra features your website needs
Bookings, special forms, payment options, a member area, or something no ready-made plugin can do. We add features to new and existing websites, cleanly and without slowing them down.
Common requests
Features we add most often
If what you have in mind isn’t listed, ask anyway. If it can be done well, we’ll tell you how; if it can’t, we’ll say so.
Bookings and appointments
Let customers pick a date and time, pay a deposit if you like, and get a reminder.
Forms that do more
Enquiry, quote, order and registration forms that send the details where you need them.
Payments
Online payment buttons, payment links and deposits, connected to your payment provider.
WhatsApp and call buttons
One-tap ways for visitors on phones to message or call you.
Email and newsletters
Sign-up forms that add people to your email list, and automatic confirmation emails.
Custom plugins
A feature made just for your website when no ready-made plugin does what you need.
How we do it
Ready-made where it’s good, custom where it’s needed
Many features already exist as trusted plugins. We use those when they’re reliable, and build custom only when it saves you trouble or cost in the long run.
- Check what existsWe look for a well-supported plugin or service before building anything new.
- Build it cleanlyCustom features are built so website updates don’t break them.
- Keep your site fastOnly what’s needed is added, so pages stay quick to load.
- Test and explainWe test it on phones and computers, then show you how it works.
Example scenario
A tutor taking class bookings over the phone
The situation
Parents call or message to book trial classes, slots get double-booked, and payments are chased one by one.
How we’d approach it
- Map the class types, timings and fees
- Add an online booking calendar to the existing website
- Connect online payment for fees and deposits
- Send automatic confirmations and reminders
What you’d end up with
Parents book and pay in a few taps, the calendar stays accurate, and reminders go out without anyone remembering to send them.
Questions
Custom feature questions
Can you add a feature to a website someone else built?
Usually, yes. We take a look first to make sure the change won’t cause problems, then explain what’s involved before we start.
A plugin on my site stopped working. Can you fix it?
Yes. We find out why, then fix it, update it or replace it with something more reliable.
Will a new feature slow my website down?
It shouldn’t. We add only what the feature needs and check the speed before and after.
Is there anything you don’t do?
We focus on features for websites, stores and small business tools. Large systems that need big teams or complex server setups aren’t what we do, and we’ll tell you honestly if your request is one of those.
