WordPress plugins

Functionalities thanks to customised WordPress plugins

The principle of WordPress

We create websites that are based on WordPress based. Compared to other content management systems, the standard functionalities of WordPress are very limited. However, this is not a weakness, but a strategy!

In this way, WordPress maintains a certain clarity and the Concentrating on the essentials. By means of extensions (also as Plugins known), the system can be expanded in all directions. This means that the wheel does not have to be reinvented and Save time and money. Selecting and setting up plugins naturally requires expertise, which we as an Internet agency are happy to provide.

Implement requirements with plugins

Requirements or desired functionalities often go beyond the basic functionality of WordPress. The frequently requested contact form, for example, is not included in the WordPress standard and is therefore realised with a plugin. Below you will find a small overview of the extensions for WordPress that we have already successfully implemented for our customers.

Free and paid extensions

Many of these little helpers are permanently available free of charge. The more complex the use case, the more likely it is that the plugins will be chargeable. And that's a good thing. After all, who can or wants to make their (good) work permanently available for free? The disadvantage of a plugin is that it always poses a risk to the overall system of the website. In the case of WordPress, plugins are not checked separately and permanently, which means that there is always a risk to the security, speed and functionality of the website. However, our careful selection and the use of proven plugins minimise the risk.

WordPress standard extensions

The following functionalities are not a WordPress standard, although they are used on almost every website. These functionalities can be easily realised with small, free plugins:

Contact form
Basic security settings
Online shop (WooCommerce)
Basic SEO settings
Side construction kits, e.g. Elementor
Password protection
Language adaptations
Slider for text-image combinations

WordPress shop with WooCommerce

The best-known shop plugin is WooCommerce and is used by us to realise the shop functionality. This plugin can in turn be extended by other plugins. Here are a few examples of relevant WooCommerce plugins:

WooCommerce Germanised - adaptations specifically for the German market
Payment methods via PayPal Express and instant bank transfer
Grouped products (sets and bundles)
Product configurator for customised products
Connection of the shop to a merchandise management system (e.g. JTL)
Sale of vouchers for download or dispatch

Book dates, rooms and courses

The following booking functionalities were realised by us with different plugins:

Booking a one-off appointment
Booking a meeting room or holiday flats
Booking a course (recurring appointment) with availability management

Each of these booking functionalities includes standard processes such as sending e-mails, appointment management (synchronisation of appointments with other calendars), payment functions and desired cancellation options.

Enabling translation and multilingualism

WordPress and many plugins already have a German translation by default. However, your own content must of course be translated, and managing this content also works with plugins:

Creating language versions
Management of existing and missing translations
Translating English terms into German
Renaming designations

Development of own plugins

The selection of available plugins is huge, but finite. Of course we also develop Own plugins for special customer requirements, for example:

Labelling of advertisements on overview pages
Factorial price calculation of grouped products
Location display of different location types and much more.
