Understanding Moodle Development

WHAT IS MOODLE DEVELOPMENT?

Moodle development is the process of customizing, extending, and maintaining Moodle learning management systems through plugins, themes, integrations, and custom features. Professional Moodle developers build upgrade-safe solutions that extend Moodle's capabilities without modifying the core codebase, ensuring your customizations survive version updates.

Types of Moodle Development

  • Custom Plugin Development — Build new functionality specific to your needs
  • Theme Development — Create branded, responsive Moodle themes
  • Integration Services — Connect Moodle with external systems via API
  • Legacy Modernization — Upgrade and modernize outdated Moodle installations

Why Choose Custom Moodle Development?

  • Tailored solutions that match your exact workflow
  • Upgrade-safe code that survives Moodle updates
  • Integration with your existing business systems
  • Expert support from developers who know Moodle

REGULAR COMMUNICATION

Weekly progress updates and demo checkpoints keep you informed. You'll see working features throughout development, not just at the end.

Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

After discovery, we provide a detailed scope document and fixed-price quote. The price includes everything in the scope — no hourly surprises. If requirements change during the project, we document the change, provide an updated estimate for your approval, and only proceed once you've signed off. You're always in control of costs.
It depends on scope. Small plugins or theme tweaks might take a few weeks. Complex integrations or full upgrades typically run longer. We provide a realistic timeline in every proposal — we'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than the reverse.
Yes. If you need an NDA before sharing project details, we're happy to sign one. Just let us know in your initial inquiry. Many clients request this for enterprise projects or when proprietary processes are involved.
For clients on a support agreement, we typically respond within the same or next business day. Critical issues (site down, security vulnerabilities) get prioritized. We don't make guarantees we can't keep — but we do take response times seriously.
Yes — we've worked with Moodle installations as old as 1.9. We understand that upgrades aren't always immediately feasible. We can maintain, fix, and extend legacy systems while helping you plan a modernization path when you're ready.
We avoid it whenever possible. Core modifications break during upgrades and create maintenance headaches. We extend Moodle through plugins, themes, and local customizations that survive upgrades. If a core change is truly unavoidable, we'll disclose it clearly, document it thoroughly, and help you understand the upgrade implications.
Moodle development costs vary by project scope. Simple plugins or theme tweaks typically start at smaller budgets, while complex integrations or enterprise-level customizations require more investment. We provide fixed-price proposals with clear deliverables before starting — you'll know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
Moodle Partners are companies officially certified by Moodle HQ, typically offering hosting and support packages. Independent Moodle developers like us focus on custom development work — plugins, themes, integrations, and specialized solutions. We offer more flexibility in pricing models (fixed-price vs. hourly), direct access to developers, and specialized expertise in legacy systems and complex customizations.
Yes. We have extensive experience with Moodle installations going back to version 1.9. We understand that many organizations can't immediately upgrade due to custom plugins, integrations, or organizational constraints. We can maintain and extend your legacy system while helping you plan a modernization path when you're ready.
