Bespoke development
When the plugin you need doesn’t exist — we build it.
Custom plugins and blocks for organisations including Penguin Random House, WikiTribune, Byline Times, Coda Story and the Hellenic Centre — by the team behind the Monetization Kit and Fabrica Dashboard.
Case studies
Real problems. Purpose-built solutions.
Some of these became open-source or commercial products; others stayed exactly what they were built to be — the one tool a team needed.
WikiTribune · open-sourced 2017
Fabrica Pending Revisions
A moderation queue for post revisions: the community suggests, editors control what’s published.
Built for Jimmy Wales’ WikiTribune. Also handles embargoes (edit now, publish later), legal sign-off before updates go live, and community contribution without vandalism risk. Read more on Medium.

Fabrica Collaborative Editing
No more single-user lock: multiple people editing the same post at the same time.
Makes WordPress wiki-like — independent simultaneous editing, with conflicts surfaced and merged before saving rather than forked. Switchable per post type or per item.
Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial
Mi Librería
A “further reading” selection of books, added to any blog post.
Finds keywords in the post, pulls matching books from the PRH catalogue — cover, data, synopsis — and appends the blogger’s chosen selection to the post.
Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial
PRHGE Book Importer
Catalogue data imported straight into public-facing WordPress sites.
Built across eight years of PRH marketing and sales sites: searches the company’s vast catalogue via API and creates content in any of their WordPress sites in a few clicks — no copy-pasting, no error-prone data entry.
The Hellenic Centre
Content Expiry Widget
A Dashboard box reminding editors of upcoming content expiry dates.
The Hellenic Centre’s paid classified ads ran for a month or a year — but expiry dates weren’t surfaced, so old ads lingered. A custom widget for Fabrica Dashboard now highlights expired content, keeping the site tidy and the ad revenue flowing.
Atlas of the Future
Team and Quote Blocks
Reusable pull-quotes and profiles for posts and sidebars.
Consistent presentation without copy-pasting fragile HTML between posts: custom post types, managed templates and responsive styling, output via a shortcode usable anywhere — block-editor convenience for a site that couldn’t yet switch.
RefNat4Life · EU project
Fabrica Bulk Edit
Edit many posts at once in a spreadsheet-style grid — without leaving WordPress.
Built to manage course listings on refnat4life.eu: the team views and updates whole sets of structured content in a single view instead of opening records one by one.
Your organisation
The tool your team is missing
Tell us what’s slowing your team down. We’ll tell you — honestly — whether it needs a bespoke build, an off-the-shelf tool, or one of ours customised to fit.
Where bespoke work leads
Our flagships started as commissions.
The Monetization Kit grew out of work for Byline Times and Coda Story; Fabrica Dashboard gained its content-expiry widget through client work. Your project could be next.
