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.
“Software Engineer and Seasoned Programmer”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
