You’ve put a lot of resources into the buildout of your new website, but there are a few pieces of functionality you need to get the end results you’re looking for. Maybe it’s a custom scheduling tool to update the banner on your home page whenever you have a sale going on. Or perhaps it’s something more advanced, like an appointment scheduler. You could search through the WordPress plugin library for something that fits, but there’s a more elegant solution at hand: Have your developer build a custom feature into your theme.
There are plenty of Javascript libraries out there that save your developers a lot of work. They can build off the work of their peers and fine tune the customization until it looks like it belongs natively on your site. While it’s not always the solution you need, it’s certainly one you should think about. Here are some of the key questions to ask yourself as you consider your options.
