We ship three plugins.We maintain them like infrastructure.
wpaxiom is a small WordPress plugin shop with an unfashionable opinion: most stores ship too many plugins, half-finished, optimised for the catalog page rather than the people who install them. We do the opposite.
The unfashionable opinion.
A typical WordPress plugin shop sells 40 products. They cross-sell, they bundle, they push a Pro tier with quarterly feature drops to keep MRR up. The plugins themselves drift — touched once a year, loaded with code that forgot its own author.
We thought there was a better way to do this, so we set out to do it. Cartick, Specifico, and Axiom Blocks are the result: tightly scoped, tested, and maintained like the infrastructure they become for the people who rely on them.
We do not have a roadmap with 60 items. We have one with three. We push releases when the code is ready and the tests are green, not when a launch calendar says we should. If that sounds slow, we are okay with that.
If you write WordPress for a living and you care about query count, bundle size, and the next ten years of the platform — we built this for you.
How we decide what to ship.
Four rules we have been unwilling to compromise. They have cost us features and customers. We are okay with that.
Scope over scale
Three plugins. Maintained like infrastructure. We will not ship a hundredth product to compete on a feature list.
Measured, not assumed
Automated coding-standard and static-analysis checks are part of the release workflow, and changes are documented in public changelogs.
Open by default
Source on GitHub, GPLv2 forever, free tiers on WordPress.org. Pro is what funds the maintenance — not the access.
Real human support
Support questions go directly to people who work on the plugins, without an outsourced tier-1 queue.
Where the numbers are right now.
Published and maintained in public.
The plugins are published through the verified WPAxiom WordPress.org account. WordPress.org lists WPAxiom and shuvo586 as contributors, and the public source lives in the wpaxiom GitHub organization.
Three plugins, one philosophy. Try them, read the code, file an issue.
All of our work ships under GPLv2 on WordPress.org. The source is on GitHub. We answer issues the same week we get them.
