Off-the-shelf WordPress plugins cover 80% of needs; the remaining 20% wins contracts. Customise via child themes, small companion plugins and hooks — never edit vendor files directly.
Hook-based extension
Use add_action and add_filter in a site-specific plugin. Document dependencies and minimum versions. Test updates in staging before production.
WooCommerce patterns
Custom product types, checkout field validation, ERP webhooks on order status changes. Olive & See pizza shop needed multilingual menus and local payment — we delivered without forked WooCommerce core.
Performance hygiene
Limit active plugins, object cache where hosting allows, CDN for assets. Security updates are non-negotiable on client retainers.
