Dorset Natural Heritage
Conservation advocacy with a custom-built events calendar
Custom Functionality & Integrations
Custom plugins, features and integrations built around how your business works, not around what an off-the-shelf plugin allows.
Most small business websites need one thing that off-the-shelf plugins get slightly wrong. An events calendar people can actually add to their phone. A product configurator. A members area. A booking flow that fits the way you already work.
We build that one thing properly, as a lightweight custom plugin or feature, and keep everything else simple. No stack of paid plugins, no features you will never use, and an admin screen your team can manage without training.
Projects in this category include:
- Events calendar with calendar exports for Dorset Natural Heritage: events sort themselves into upcoming and past, with one-click Google, Outlook, Teams and .ics exports, alongside a downloadable document library. Read how we built it.
- Interactive door configurator for 57 Doors: a five-step ordering process with a real-time door preview.
- Coaching tools with emailed results for Capacity Building Solutions and View From Here: diagnostic tools embedded in WordPress, with consent-based results by email, and a branded newsletter template built in MailPoet.
- Online learning for Sustainability Toolbox, and a custom course directory for Global Compassion Coalition.
- Booking integrations for Imi Bay, Caroline Schnyder Coaching and ManageMinds.

Our Custom Functionality & Integrations process
-
01
Understand the job
We start with how you work today and what the feature needs to do, not with a list of plugins.
-
02
Plan the simplest build
You get a fixed quote for the smallest feature that does the job well, with nothing you will not use.
-
03
Build and test
We build it into your WordPress site and test it with real content before anything goes live.
-
04
Hand over and support
You manage it from a normal WordPress admin screen, and we are on hand if it needs to grow.
FAQs
- Plugins are built to do everything for everyone. For one specific job, a lightweight custom feature is usually faster, more secure, has no ongoing licence cost and does exactly what you need.
- Yes. Everything is managed from a normal WordPress admin screen, the same way you edit pages and posts.
- Yes. We can build a custom feature or integration into an existing WordPress site without rebuilding it.
- Booking tools, calendars, newsletters, membership and course platforms, payment providers and embedded interactive tools are the most common. If it has a sensible way to connect, we can usually make it work.
- Every feature gets a fixed quote after a short call about what it needs to do, so you know the cost before any work starts.
