Custom Plugin and App Development for UK Businesses
A working day that genuinely overlaps a UK morning and early afternoon, backed by a single in-house team across Shopify, WordPress and Magento instead of a different specialist for each.
What you actually get
A genuine afternoon of overlap, not a single early call
Because Pune is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK depending on daylight saving, our 10:00–19:00 IST studio hours line up with a UK morning through early afternoon — a real multi-hour window most days. For integration and plugin work, where a quick clarifying call often saves a day of back-and-forth email, that overlap changes how fast a project actually moves.
One team across every platform, not a chain of specialists
Running WooCommerce on the main site, Shopify for a second brand, and an internal Chrome extension usually means three vendors who've never spoken and a project manager relaying messages between them. Our team builds all of it — WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, Shopify apps, Magento extensions, Chrome extensions, API integrations — which means a bug on either end of an integration gets fixed by someone who already understands both sides, not flagged to a second contractor first.
API integrations that keep two systems in sync, quietly
A storefront and a back-office system that don't talk to each other means someone on your team re-keying the same order or customer record by hand, every day, indefinitely. We build the integration to map fields correctly the first time, fail gracefully when one side is down or errors out, and retry automatically rather than silently dropping the update — and we judge it finished only once it's still running unattended months later, not the day it first worked in a demo.
GDPR-aware handling in whatever we build
A WooCommerce order sync, a Chrome extension reading browser data, a Shopify app storing customer records — any of it can touch customer data, so GDPR-aware handling is built in by default rather than added once a UK client raises it. That said, we're a development team, not a law firm, so anything industry-specific is still worth your own legal review.
How this actually works
Why the timezone gap with the UK barely shows up in day-to-day work
The UK sits 4.5 hours behind India for most of the year and 5.5 hours behind when the UK is on GMT rather than BST. Either way, our 10:00–19:00 IST studio hours overlap a real chunk of a UK working day — roughly 9am to 1 or 2pm UK time — not a narrow slot squeezed in before anyone's day properly starts.
For plugin and integration work specifically, that overlap gets used for the conversations that move fastest live — agreeing what fields two systems should map to each other, walking through a Chrome extension's permission list before submission, reviewing a WordPress plugin's behaviour on a staging site together. Anything outside that window still runs async, with written specs and a staging link updated the same day.
We invoice in GBP or USD depending on what's easier on your end, by international transfer or card, with a fixed quote agreed before work starts. We're a Pune-based team, not a UK-registered company with a local office — worth saying plainly rather than letting a virtual address imply otherwise.

Guide
Plugin and App Development Pricing in the UK
What UK Businesses Actually Pay for Custom Plugin and App Work
UK pricing guides for custom plugin, app and integration work generally show a basic WordPress or Shopify plugin running £1,200–£4,000, a mid-complexity custom app or integration with App Store review or multi-system sync at £4,000–£12,000, and a larger enterprise integration or extension at £12,000–£35,000 or more.
What actually moves a quote inside that range is less about which platform and more about what has to keep working afterward — a WordPress plugin used internally on one site is a different job from one that has to survive arbitrary theme and plugin combinations on client sites, and a Shopify app that needs to clear App Store review carries genuine resubmission risk a private tool doesn't. GDPR-aware data handling, standard on anything we build for a UK or EU client, adds real engineering time that a non-compliant quote from elsewhere simply wouldn't include.
These are general UK market figures aggregated from public pricing guides, not a Webcomp quote. Every plugin or integration here is scoped against what it specifically needs to do, with a fixed price agreed in writing before work starts.
- Basic plugin or small app: £1,200–£4,000 — single-platform, limited scope.
- Mid-complexity integration or app: £4,000–£12,000 — App Store review, cross-system sync, GDPR handling.
- Enterprise-grade extension or integration: £12,000–£35,000+ — high reliability, multi-system, ongoing maintenance.
FAQ
Questions before you get started.
Yes, and that's the whole point of not splitting the work across vendors — our team ships WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, Shopify apps and Magento extensions as one discipline, so nobody on your side has to translate between three different contractors' assumptions about how the platforms should connect.
A real one — roughly 9am to 1 or 2pm UK time most days, since Pune is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead depending on the time of year. That's enough for live calls to be a normal part of a project, not a rare event.
Yes, by default rather than by request — a WooCommerce sync, a Shopify app, a Chrome extension, whatever touches customer records gets GDPR-aware handling built in from the start. For anything specific to your industry, we'd still point you to your own legal review rather than treat our default as a substitute for one.
We look at what's actually available first — a documented API, a partner API, or in some cases a webhook workaround — and tell you honestly what's possible before quoting the integration, rather than promising a clean connection that doesn't exist.
Often, yes — we start by reading the actual code rather than quoting blind, and we'll tell you honestly if it's in a state worth extending or better rebuilt. Some inherited plugins are salvageable with real work; some have enough undocumented shortcuts that a clean rebuild is genuinely faster than untangling them.
