Developer tools

The tools we build WordPress with.

Free, open source, and in daily use on our own projects. Take them, fork them, build on them.

for theme, plugin and site developers

Fabrica Dev Kit

An environment and build toolkit to accelerate and optimise the entire WordPress development process. Do better work faster, on projects of any scale.

Built with best-in-class components to encourage best-practice coding, Fabrica Dev Kit removes repetitive tasks to make your WP development work more productive and enjoyable:

  • Instant setup of a project-specific fast local development server (Docker)
  • Simultaneous watch-and-build across all of a project’s themes, plugins and blocks
  • Build tooling to preprocess, lint and optimise assets
  • Version control for custom fields (ACF-JSON)
  • Instant deployment

for those on the brink of a major site update

Fabrica Evergreen Web

A WordPress implementation of Aral Balkan’s 404 → 307 ‘evergreen web’ technique — route historical URLs to your old site instead of serving an unsightly 404.

Launching a redesign shouldn’t break two decades of inbound links. Evergreen Web keeps your history reachable while your new site takes over.

Want WordPress to work like this for your team?

These tools come from the same workshop as the Monetization Kit, Fabrica Dashboard and our bespoke client work.
