BASIC CPD

BASIC CPD is VVRapid’s entry-level package for a simple WordPress plugin built around your specific needs. It is ideal when you need one focused piece of functionality, clean code and a light admin screen without extra complexity.

A simple WordPress plugin for focused features

This package suits you if:

• You need a small feature that no existing plugin handles well.
• You want to replace a heavy plugin with a lighter, simple WordPress plugin.
• You prefer custom code you control, instead of stacking many third-party plugins.
• You want a plugin that is easy to understand and maintain over time.

BASIC CPD gives you a functional, reliable plugin that does its job without adding bloat.

What’s included in BASIC CPD

With BASIC CPD, VVRapid develops a simple WordPress plugin with these attributes:

• Functional WordPress plugin: Yes – you receive a working, installable plugin ready to activate.
• Source code: Yes – full access to the plugin source code.
• Detailed code comments: Basic – key parts of the code are commented so another developer can follow the logic.
• Admin settings screen: Simple options – a clean, minimal settings screen if the plugin needs configuration.
• REST API integration: No – this package does not include REST API endpoints.
• Third-party integrations: No – no external API or third-party service integrations are included.
• Performance optimisation: Basic – we follow good practices so the plugin loads efficiently.
• Security best practices: Yes – we follow WordPress security standards to reduce risk.
• WordPress.org ready: No – this plugin is not prepared for listing in the WordPress.org repository.
• Revisions: 2 revisions to refine behaviour and settings after your review.
• Delivery: Approximate delivery time of 14 days from project start.

The focus is on a simple WordPress plugin that adds one clear feature to your site without extra weight.

Typical use cases for BASIC CPD

You might choose BASIC CPD for:

• A small custom field or meta box for posts or products.
• A light shortcode that outputs specific content or layouts.
• A simple settings panel to toggle a feature on or off.
• A basic automation that runs on a hook or cron event.

In all these cases, a heavy, multi-feature plugin would be overkill. A focused, simple plugin gives you exactly what you need and nothing more.

How the BASIC CPD process works

1. Requirements and scoping
   We start by defining exactly what your simple WordPress plugin should do. We clarify triggers, outputs, settings and any specific rules, so the scope stays clear and focused.
2. Architecture and setup
   VVRapid sets up a proper plugin structure, following WordPress coding standards. We prepare files, hooks and basic safety checks so the plugin fits cleanly into your site.
3. Core functionality development
   We implement the main feature or features defined in the scope. This might be a front-end output, an admin tool or both. We keep the implementation as lean and clear as possible.
4. Simple admin settings screen
   If your plugin needs options, we create a simple admin settings screen with only the controls you actually need. No clutter, just clear fields and labels.
5. Basic comments, performance and security
   We add basic code comments to key areas, follow performance good practices and apply security best practices for WordPress. The aim is a simple WordPress plugin that another developer can maintain safely.
6. Testing, handover and revisions
   You install and test the plugin on your site or staging environment. You then request changes, and we use the included two revisions to adjust behaviour and fix issues. Once you are happy, we hand over the final version.

When BASIC CPD is the right fit – and when to upgrade

Choose BASIC CPD when:

• You only need one focused feature with minimal settings.
• You want a simple WordPress plugin that is easy to understand.
• You do not need REST API, third-party integrations or advanced admin screens.

If you later need more complex behaviour, REST API integration or third-party services, you can move up to STANDARD CPD for a more advanced WordPress plugin with deeper capabilities.

If your goal is a repository-ready plugin that meets WordPress.org standards, with multi-API support and extensive documentation, then PREMIUM CPD is the better choice.

BASIC CPD gives you a lightweight, custom-built starting point: a simple WordPress plugin that does one job well and keeps your site clean and lean.

We test all functional WordPress plugins with the Plugin Check plugin.
