One clear job
A plugin should begin with a specific need, not an excuse to become a platform.
About SiteFuse
A small software workshop for WordPress.
SiteFuse is an independent UK plugin maker building practical tools with narrow purposes, small footprints and proper documentation.
The reason for the name
Useful functionality, fused cleanly into a site.
WordPress plugins are powerful, but a small feature should not require a sprawling dashboard, an account and a collection of code that loads everywhere. SiteFuse exists to make the smaller tool: focused, understandable and dependable.
“Practical plugins. Nothing more.”
SiteFuse working rule
How we build
The standards each plugin has to meet.
The footprint is part of the feature
Code size, runtime dependencies, requests and stored data deserve the same attention as visible controls.
Say what it does not do
Honest boundaries help people choose the right tool and keep products maintainable.
Own the whole release
Documentation, changelogs, compatibility, security and support are product work too.
Respect the visitor
No surprise telemetry, unnecessary accounts or hidden external services.
Useful free means useful
A free edition should solve the stated problem—not merely advertise that the solution exists.
