About

Hi, I’m Krasen Slavov – a WordPress expert developer, open-source contributor, and creator of free WordPress plugins and themes used by thousands of websites worldwide.

I’m passionate about clean code, solving complex problems, and sharing knowledge with the WordPress community through tutorials, plugins, and open-source contributions.

How I Got Started

My journey into WordPress development began with a simple curiosity: how can I make websites do exactly what I envision? That curiosity turned into a career spanning years of building custom WordPress solutions for clients around the globe.

What started as modifying themes and plugins quickly evolved into developing custom solutions from scratch. Today, I specialize in creating robust WordPress plugins, custom themes, and solving complex technical challenges that help businesses achieve their goals.

WordPress Development & Open Source

Expert WordPress Developer I’m one of approximately 300 vetted WordPress experts at Codeable.io, where I help clients build custom plugins, themes, and complex WordPress solutions. My work focuses on writing clean, maintainable code that follows WordPress coding standards and best practices.

Open-Source Contributor: All my public plugins and themes are freely available on WordPress.org. I believe in giving back to the community that has given me so much, which is why I dedicate time to maintaining free tools that anyone can use.

Content Creator Through this website, I share WordPress development tutorials, code snippets, and guides to help fellow developers solve problems and learn new techniques. If my content has helped you, I’ve achieved my goal.

How I Work

Quality Over Quantity. Every project I take on receives my full attention. I don’t cut corners or rush through development. Clean, well-documented code that’s easy to maintain is my standard.

Clear Communication: Technical jargon can be confusing. I explain things in plain language and keep clients updated throughout the development process with regular check-ins and progress reports.

Problem-Solving Mindset WordPress challenges rarely have one “right” answer. I evaluate multiple approaches, consider long-term maintenance, and choose solutions that best fit your specific needs.

Community First, I believe in the power of open source and community knowledge-sharing. When I discover a solution, I document it and share it so others can benefit.

When I’m Not Coding

Continuous Learning Technology evolves rapidly, and I stay current by reading WordPress core updates, following industry blogs, experimenting with new tools, and participating in developer communities.

Side Projects: I experiment with new WordPress features, build proof-of-concept plugins, and explore emerging web technologies to expand my skill set and bring fresh ideas to client projects.

Giving Back Whether it’s answering questions in WordPress forums, contributing to open-source projects, or creating free tutorials, I’m committed to helping others succeed in WordPress development.
