We’ve recently been rewriting requirements for our open positions, and would love to find some talented developers to join the SkyVerge team. There are now three openings listed on our jobs page. We’re looking for one full-time and two-part time developers, all on an on-going basis (not temporary positions). However, as we’re growing, part time positions may evolve into full time positions if you’re looking for a permanent gig with benefits. We know that fit…
New product alert! We’ve released another free WooCommerce extension out into the wild – the WooCommerce Product SKU generator provides automatic SKU management for WooCommerce.

Hey everyone! We’ve got a couple of updates and and a new release we’d love to tell you about. Updates First, we know a lot of non-coders out there like our free WooCommerce Customizer, which helps change some of the standard WooCommerce layout, buttons, and text. We had some issues updating for WooCommerce 2.1 that requires some refactoring and tweaks, so we apologize for the delay in getting this out (of course this happens in…
Since we develop a lot of plugins (mostly for WooCommerce) and do some custom development, we get a lot of questions on best practices or recommendations for adding functionality to a site. Many times we’ll provide suggestions or guidance and tell people they should create a custom plugin, which prompts the question, “Couldn’t I just modify my theme template or buy a theme with this built-in this instead?
