☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Help a single parent keep giving you free plugins
Hi, I'm Simon Ward, the developer behind the free WordPress plugins you use every day.
For years I've been building and maintaining completely free plugins that thousands of sites rely on. I love doing it, and I've always chosen to keep them 100% free and open-source.
But life isn't free…
I'm a single dad and full-time carer for my disabled son. We have a lot of medical and day-to-day expenses, and I work from home so I can always be here when he needs me. Developing and supporting plugins is the perfect flexible job for that – except right now it pays exactly £0.
Your donation – even just the price of a coffee – makes a huge difference. It helps cover our bills and, most importantly, lets me keep:
- Fixing bugs fast
- Adding the features you request
- Keeping everything compatible with new WordPress versions
- Answering support questions quickly
My promise: As long as I possibly can, I will never put these plugins behind a paywall or abandon them. The more support I get, the more time I can spend improving them for you.
£5,000 would give us real breathing room for the next year and let me focus on updates instead of worrying about the next bill.
Whether it's £3, £10, £25 or more… every donation truly means the world to us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Simon Ward
P.S. Yes – you really are keeping free, high-quality plugins alive with that coffee! ☕
