This is our list of Approved WordPress Plugins. First, we research what the plugins do, and then we verify the company that develops the plugins.
We have tested these plugins making sure they work well with themes and other plugins. Below are plugins we use when we develop our websites and we recommend these plugins to use on WordPress websites.
WordPress Plugins are bits of code that you can add to your website. Some plugins are free, but premium options have fees. These fees can have a one-time fee or recurring fees. The average website we build costs us $200 or more for premium plugins.
We determine your website goals and needs and then we either use a free plugin or use the premium version of the plugin. We don’t use all of these plugins on every site we build, but we use the one that best fits the site we are building.
Every website developer should have a list of approved WordPress Plugins.
