Our Mission

Fewer plugins. Done properly.

RelyWP exists to build a small number of genuinely reliable WooCommerce plugins – the kind you can install once and trust to keep working, release after release. Every plugin is developed, maintained and supported directly by the same person who built it.

Originally a website development and hosting company, RelyWP has narrowed its focus over the years to do one thing well: premium tools that help stores acquire, reward, retain and win back their customers — all backed by fast, friendly human support.

The Story So Far

From a self-taught start to a plugin studio

Over fifteen years of building on WordPress — one tournament site, hundreds of clients, and a focused suite of plugins later.

2009

A self-taught start

Sponsored by a small web host, Elliot picked up WordPress to run his own competitive gaming tournaments — teaching himself PHP to build a custom tournament system that went on to run 300+ events for thousands of players across Europe.

2016

Going full-time

After an extended ICT diploma and a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from Hull University, Elliot became a full-time WordPress developer — building and maintaining sites for brands including The Fragrance Shop, Bluesound and Contently.

2019

RelyWP is founded

Years of freelance work became a limited company, offering WordPress development, hosting, maintenance and support to hundreds of businesses worldwide.

2022

A shift to plugins

Following the success of Coupon Affiliates and the free Simple Cloudflare Turnstile — now past 100,000 installs — plugin development became the company’s main focus.

2025

A dedicated plugin studio

Client services were phased out completely so RelyWP could focus almost entirely on building, improving and supporting its own plugins.

Today

Reliable by design

The mission is simple: keep improving a trusted suite of plugins, back them with great support, and build new ones when there’s a real opportunity to help.
