Sound familiar?
WordPress can do a lot, but the standard admin is busy and error-prone. So updates get put off, or cost more than they should.
- Afraid to break something
You search a cluttered admin and don't dare touch the layout.
- A call for every change
A new vacancy or project means emailing the developer and waiting.
- Enquiries get lost
Forms arrive scattered across the inbox. Who calls whom back, and what has already happened?
- A plugin that doesn't quite fit
The off-the-shelf option almost does what you want, but not quite, so you bend your work around it.
What does doing nothing cost? No invoice, but a site that falls behind because updating is a hassle, and enquiries left waiting.
What you get from us
We set WordPress up around what you actually use, so updating is quick and worry-free.
- No longer dependent
You change what changes often yourself, without waiting for a web developer or paying per edit.
- Nothing left to break
You only see the fields you need. Layout and design stay as intended.
- Everything in one place
Enquiries and customers inside your own website, instead of scattered across email, spreadsheets and notes.
- Your site stays yours
Everything we build lives on your site and is documented. You're not tied to us.
Examples
| Now | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Copy, services and projects | Searching a cluttered admin, afraid to break the layout. | One clear screen per topic; the layout stays right by itself. |
| Vacancies or news | Emailing the developer for every new post. | Post it yourself in minutes, with fixed fields. |
| Enquiries from the form | Scattered across the inbox; who calls whom back? | A list with status and notes, so nothing gets left behind. |
| A feature of your own | An off-the-shelf plugin that doesn't quite do what you want. | A custom plugin: bookings, a calculator or an integration. |
After delivery you get a short guide and walkthrough, and you only see the fields you need. You update your site yourself, and you know how.
Curious what this means for your site? You'll know in 15 minutes.
What's included
Three packages, each with fixed contents. A new design isn't included; that's a website package.
Customer and enquiry management
Track enquiries and customers in one place.
- Overview of enquiries with status and notes
- Linked to your form and email
- Export and rights per user
- Agreements on retention and privacy
Custom plugin
A feature you can't find off the shelf.
- For example bookings, a calculator or a member list
- Or a link with another system
- Documented, safe to update
- Care Plus recommended
Agreements
- Safe to update
We build to WordPress standards, so updates are unlikely to break anything. With Care Plus we keep it that way.
- No paid extras without asking
If a paid extension is needed, you hear it first, with the cost.
- Customer data handled with care
For enquiry management we agree who can see what and how long data is kept.

How we limit your risk
You know up front what you get and what it costs, and you pay half only once it's done.
- Fixed price
You pay what the proposal says. Extra work only happens with your approval.
- The rest only on delivery
Half on approval, the second half only once the work is delivered.

If something doesn't match what we agreed together, we adjust it at no extra cost.
- Honest advice up front
If a package isn't needed, we say so, even if that means less work for us.
Who helps you
ModernCrafts is the business of Sem Lont from Wassenaar, the Netherlands. You don't talk to an account manager but to the person who sets up your WordPress site. That saves explaining, misunderstandings and waiting: you call, email or book a call and hear back from the maker.
Frequently asked questions
Can't this be done with a standard plugin?
Sometimes, and then we say so. An existing plugin is often cheaper. Custom work makes sense when the standard option doesn't quite do what you need, or makes your admin busier and harder to use.
Am I tied to you afterwards?
No. Everything we build lives on your site and is documented, so another developer can pick it up. Care with us is optional.
Does this work with my existing WordPress site?
Usually, yes. In the first call we look at how your site is built. If we can't work on it properly, we say so right away.
Do I need to be technical to manage it?
No. You only get the fields you need, with a short guide and walkthrough.
Do I still need a separate customer system?
For many small businesses, enquiry management inside their own site is enough. If you already have a system, we can link to it.
What if WordPress gets an update?
We build to the standards so updates are unlikely to break anything. For a custom plugin we recommend Care Plus so we keep it up to date.
