Custom plugins tailored to your business
SoBold creates bespoke WordPress plugins for enterprises to optimise performance and deliver tailored functionality.
WordPress is open source, giving you the flexibility to create your own custom plugins that extend its functionality.
Website plugins allow us to seamlessly integrate new features without the need for custom-coding from scratch.
Whilst there are many reputable plugins that can be used and incorporated on websites, they might lack the desired functionality for your requirements.
We only recommend an off-the-shelf plugin when it has a high install base, several thousand or more, strong reviews, and has passed our security team’s audit. When nothing meets that bar, we build bespoke.
Clients typically commission a bespoke plugin for one of two reasons: a process or feature no marketplace plugin serves, or a security and ownership preference, full control over the code with no third-party dependencies.
For a financial services client, we built a fully bespoke multi-stage content review process, so their content team could route new content through every internal stakeholder before publishing, a workflow no off-the-shelf CMS tool offers out of the box.
SoBold’s AI Summarizer Plugin
Built using AWS Bedrock and seamlessly integrated into WordPress, our AI Summarizer plugin leverages the power of large language models (LLMs) hosted on AWS Bedrock to interpret and distill the key points of your articles to automatically generate concise summaries.
AI usage and the importance of data management
Enhanced user experience
Help visitors find what they need faster with quick, scannable content summaries that improve readability and navigation.
Improved content accessibility
Providing TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read) summaries that make reading content more accessible and more seamless for your users.
Increased engagement
Keep users engaged and reduce bounce rates by giving them instant value, increasing the chances they’ll read further or explore related content.
Flexible implementation
Whether you want summaries displayed at the top of posts, in sidebars, or within category listings, the plugin is highly configurable to fit your theme and UX needs.
Powered by AWS Bedrock
Built on Amazon’s secure and scalable infrastructure, the plugin ensures reliable AI performance without compromising data privacy.

Plugin Development FAQs

The development timeline for a bespoke plugin depends on the complexity and scope of the required functionality. Simple plugins may take a few weeks, while complex plugins with advanced features and multiple integrations can take several months. During the initial discovery phase, we provide a detailed timeline based on your requirements and any dependencies involved.
Security is built into our process from the start. We follow OWASP security guidelines for safe coding, use parameterised queries and input validation to prevent SQL injection and XSS attacks, and implement role-based access controls to restrict sensitive features to authorised users. Our team also runs security audits and penetration testing to catch and fix vulnerabilities before deployment.
Consider building a bespoke plugin if:
- You have unique requirements that off-the-shelf plugins can’t meet.
- Existing plugins lack the scalability or flexibility you need for future growth.
- You need full control over functionality, performance, and security.
- Your website or platform requires complex integrations with other tools, APIs, or databases. A bespoke plugin ensures that you get precisely what you need without compromising on features, performance, or design.
We’ve built AI content tools, membership and subscription plugins, content-workflow tools, and back-end management tools, each built to fit a specific process rather than adapted from something generic.
Yes, you own the plugin code outright, with full ownership and no licensing dependencies tying you to us afterwards.

Whether you’re in financial services, healthcare, energy or another sector, we start every project with a conversation about your requirements. No commitment, just a discussion about your needs.
