Custom WordPress and PrestaShop development: the feature your site is missing, without piling up plugins

A form that should feed your CRM, a shipping rule WooCommerce can't handle, a PrestaShop module that almost does the job. A developer writes the custom plugin, module or theme, at a fixed price. You see it working before you pay the balance.

In short

Blue Digital builds custom features for WordPress, WooCommerce and PrestaShop: plugins and modules, blocks for the editor, child themes, ERP or CRM connectors, shipping and payment rules. The code follows each platform's standards and uses the hooks they provide, without modifying the core. Fixed price, live demo before the balance, and you own the code.

Dozens of plugins installed, and still not the feature you need.

On WordPress and PrestaShop alike, the temptation is to add a plugin for every need. The site slows down, updates become stressful, and sooner or later two modules contradict each other. Often, a few hundred lines of code written for you replace several plugins and do exactly what you want.

What we can build for you

A few common requests on WordPress, WooCommerce and PrestaShop. Yours is different? Describe it and we will tell you whether it can be done, and how.

Custom WordPress plugin

A business feature inside the WordPress admin: directory, bookings, members' area, technical catalogue, with its own screens and access rights.

Blocks for the content editor

Gutenberg blocks in your brand style (pricing tables, comparison grids, product sheets) that your team uses without touching code.

Custom PrestaShop module

A new feature in the store or the back office, built on PrestaShop hooks, avoiding core overrides wherever possible.

Shipping and payment rules

Shipping costs by zone or weight, local carriers, cash on delivery with conditions, a local payment gateway, on WooCommerce or PrestaShop.

ERP or CRM connector

Orders, customers, stock and prices synced with Odoo or another tool, and forms that feed your CRM automatically.

Child theme or custom theme

Design changes without losing the parent theme's updates, or a lightweight theme written for your site, built for speed.

Catalogue import and updates

Scheduled import of supplier files, product combinations created automatically, price and stock updates, error reports.

Replacing heavy plugins

Several overlapping plugins replaced by one lightweight module that does only what you need.

WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and the rest of the chain

Custom development often touches the hosting, the database or the ERP. We know the platform and everything around it.

From your requirement to go-live, in five steps

A fixed-price project: you know what will be delivered and what it costs before development starts.

  1. 1

    Short specification

    A conversation with a developer, not a salesperson. Together we write down what the feature does, on which pages, for which users.

  2. 2

    Fixed-price quote

    A fixed price and a timeline, set out in the quote according to the size of the work. A 10 to 15% deposit gets it started.

  3. 3

    Development

    On a copy of your site, never in production. We show you progress and ask questions as we go.

  4. 4

    Live demo

    The feature runs in front of you on the copy of the site: visitor journey, test order, admin. You approve it or we fix it.

  5. 5

    Delivery and payment

    Go-live after a backup, checks in real conditions, handover of the code and documentation. The balance is paid at that point.

What you receive

  • The plugin, module or theme installed and tested on your site
  • The complete source code, which you own
  • Installation documentation and a short user guide
  • A walkthrough of the admin for your team
  • A compatibility check with your current plugins
  • A bug-fix period after go-live

How you pay

  1. 10–15%deposit to start, once you approve the quote.
  2. Balanceonly after a live demo: you see the result working before you pay.

Fewer plugins, more useful features

WordPress and PrestaShop owe their success to their catalogues of plugins and modules. That is a strength when you want to launch quickly, and a weakness as the site grows: every plugin adds code, queries, scripts, and a vendor whose updates you have to follow.

Custom development turns that around. We start from what your site needs to do, and write only the code required. The result is lighter, faster, and you know exactly what is running on your site.

What makes good WordPress or PrestaShop development

  • It uses hooks: actions and filters on WordPress, hooks on PrestaShop. The core and third-party plugins are left untouched.
  • It respects updates: a child theme rather than an edited theme, a plugin rather than code dropped into functions.php.
  • It is secure: capability checks, validated forms, output escaped on display.
  • It is light: scripts and styles load only on the pages that need them, so the rest of the site stays fast.
  • It is documented: another developer should be able to pick it up without calling you.

Before you get in touch

Tell us the platform and version (WordPress with or without WooCommerce, PrestaShop 1.7, 8 or 9), the theme you use and what you want to achieve, in your own words. If a plugin already almost does the job, give us its name: adapting it sometimes costs less than writing everything from scratch.

We come back with specific questions, then a fixed-price quote. If your need can be met with a simple setting or a reliable existing plugin, we will tell you.

Frequently asked questions

Question not listed? Ask it directly: a developer answers, not a call centre.

How much does custom WordPress or PrestaShop development cost?

It depends on the scope: the number of screens, rules and tools to connect. The price is fixed in the quote, after the specification, and doesn't change unless the scope does.

How long does it take?

It depends on the work. The timeline is set out in the quote, with the date of the live demo. An editor block is quicker than an ERP connector.

How does payment work?

A 10 to 15% deposit when we start, then the balance after the live demo, once the work is approved and live.

My site uses a purchased theme. Can you change it?

Yes, through a child theme on WordPress or the mechanisms PrestaShop provides, so you keep the theme vendor's updates.

Will it survive updates?

We use the hooks, actions and filters each platform provides, without touching the core, which greatly reduces the risk. For a major upgrade (moving to PrestaShop 9, for example), we check compatibility and quote any changes in advance.

Can you take over a module someone else built?

Yes. We read the existing code, even undocumented, and tell you in writing what can be kept, fixed or rewritten, before quoting.

What access do you need?

An admin account, SFTP or SSH access to the files and a copy of the database. We work on a copy of the site, never directly in production.

Who owns the code?

You do. The source code is handed over on delivery with its documentation. You can develop it further with us or with another provider.

Describe the feature your site is missing. We'll tell you how to build it.

A developer reads your request and calls you back within 2 business hours.

  • Pay on delivery: 10–15% deposit to start.
  • Live demo of the result before the final payment.
  • A direct technical contact, not a call centre.
