Reliable Xenforo Developer?

I am a trusted XenForo developer for many board administrators, specializing in custom coding, development, and maintenance.

I have been working with XenForo since version XF1.5.x. Coding for both versions of XenForo has given me a clear understanding of how XenForo works and how to convert abandoned or custom add-ons coded for older versions. I follow XenForo's recommended coding standards and ensure my code is compatible with third-party add-ons and XenForo updates.

How I Began My XenForo Development Career

I used to code plugins for vBulletin and set up forums for clients back in the day when forums and online communities were thriving, before the rise of Facebook groups. As Facebook groups gained popularity, the need for a powerful and highly customizable forum software became evident. Unfortunately, other forum software lacked these capabilities, leading to a decline in interest.

XenForo was launched to solve these issues, providing a developer-friendly interface with class extensions, a custom JS framework, hooks, and many other great features. These made it easier for developers to turn ideas into real functions. Board admins got a strong and flexible forum software, which they started customizing to fit their specific audiences.

In 2016, I started working full-time with some of the best XenForo developers in my town. This is when I fell in love with XenForo and dedicated myself to working exclusively with this amazing forum software. I was impressed by XenForo’s structure and the ability to extend its core functionality through add-ons.

My Journey as a Xenforo Developer

I began working as a freelance XenForo developer in 2016. Unfortunately, there were very few resources available to learn about XenForo development. To gain knowledge, I downloaded and studied the code of popular XenForo add-ons and custom solutions created by the development team I worked with. This process was challenging, but it helped me become one of the few skilled and highly regarded XenForo developers offering freelance services.

Here are some of the core freelance XenForo development services I provide.

  • Addon development (Both Xenforo 1 and Xenforo 2).
  • Addon customization.
  • Addon upgrade.
  • Addon security review.
  • Style development.
  • Data imports from other forums.
  • Custom addon data import.
  • Forum upgrades and maintenance.

Xenforo Addon Development

As a XenForo developer, I can code custom add-ons following the standards set by the XF team. While many custom solutions often suffer from issues such as direct SQL queries in controllers and poorly designed entities and repositories, I always ensure to code secure and lightweight add-ons for optimal performance and page speed. Achieving the best results requires deep knowledge of the database structure and understanding of how XenForo's class proxy system works. With extensive experience, I am well-equipped to develop flawless XenForo add-ons tailored to your specific requirements.

XenForo Addon Customization

While there are many custom add-ons already created by companies and programmers available in the resources section, board admins often require additional customizations to meet their specific needs. Many XenForo developers prefer not to work on existing add-ons because it can be challenging to follow the original author's code logic. Personally, I've spent about 40% of my development time in the past two years customizing existing add-ons. This experience has been invaluable in learning new techniques and understanding how developers approach different challenges.

XenForo Style Development

I specialize in creating stunning XenForo 2 styles that seamlessly match your homepage or other content management systems like WordPress that you may already be using alongside your forum. Recently, I've developed custom styles for several major boards, which are available for demo in the blog section of my website. Similar to XenForo add-ons, developing custom themes and styles requires a strong understanding of the XenForo template engine, as well as proficiency in template modifications and template variables. The styles I create adhere strictly to XenForo coding standards.

XenForo Monthly Maintenance

As a XenForo programmer, I frequently receive requests from various forum admins to resolve unexpected issues affecting their forums. Many board owners prefer simplicity and hire someone for monthly updates, health checks, or banner changes. If you're seeking a reliable partner for ongoing bug fixes and maintenance at a fixed monthly rate, I'm available to assist you. I collaborate closely with your server staff and moderators to ensure smooth operation and seamless functioning of your forum.

Migrations From Other Forums

Xenforo staff provides great customer support and their software is secure and simply great. This is what made hundreds of forums switch from Vbulletin etc to XenForo. Although, XenForo provides default importers that can be used to import data from some famous forums. Still unexpected results are possible and it is recommended to go with a professional to handle your migration. I can handle your forum migration to xenforo using best practices to make sure nothing is missed and so that you do not lose your seo efforts.

XenForo Upgrades

XenForo staff provides excellent customer support, and their software is secure and highly regarded, prompting hundreds of forums to switch from platforms like vBulletin to XenForo. While XenForo offers default importers for data migration from various well-known forums, unexpected results can occur. It's advisable to hire a professional to manage your migration to ensure nothing is overlooked and to safeguard your SEO efforts. I can handle your forum migration to XenForo using best practices to ensure a smooth transition.

Haseeb put in a lot of hour with us to get our xenforo forum implemented. He was always willing to revisit glitches and put in more time to get the job done. Quite patient through frustrating issues. He is surely a very good freelancer.

Haseeb did a great job. There were a number of unknowns and changes in this forum development. Haseeb worked through those changes, was very responsive and stood behind his work. If there were any issues that found later, he fixed those issues quickly and without charge . I would hire again.

I have been working remotely as a freelancer since long time. It is imperative to do frequent meetings and provide updates about the project to make sure the process smooth. I am in Pakistan GMT+5. But i can easily match your timezone if needed.
Yes, this is my core skill and i am working as a xenforo developer for some big boards. I can create an addon from scratch. I would need proper requirements or a virtual meeting to understand your idea and functionality. From my experience i think the best outcome can be achieved if you can provide with me a document explaining your xenforo addon requirements and let me skim that before we do a meeting.
Yes, I can style and customize your forum to match your provided PSD/Figma. Please make sure the xenforo designer you hire knows about Xenforo and its core features. Mostly designers miss core XenForo features and it is not a wise idea to hide / delete some must have widgets and stats sections. You can put me in touch with your designer if needed for consultation.
Yes, i can customize the addons that you already have. I make sure the addon customization's that i do are done using an extension for the addon without changing core code of the original xenforo addon, So that you can avail the updates. I have done customizations for Dbtech Credits addon and Xenforo Resource manager.
My hourly rate for Xenforo Development is 40 Usd per hour. I can provide you fixed price quote too. It depends upon the functionality and how long it would take to code the it.
Well, looking at Xenforo community and recent bad experience of the people looking for developers. I always use Escrow services like Freelancer.com and Upwork.com or Fiverr with new contracts. I am top rated at these platforms and willing to work through these only to make i am paid and you get what you need.
Get in Touch...!!
