I make very small WordPress plugins for commerce shops. Small enough to stay running for a decade — heavy enough that you see the difference in the first week.

Small is not the style. It is the mechanism.
Light, zero-config and long-lived are not three separate virtues. They are one chain, and it only runs in one direction.
- 01
We make it light
Every feature is a promise you have to keep for ten years. So we ship the smallest thing that fixes the problem, and refuse the rest.
- 02
So it works on install
Nothing to configure, nothing to read first. If it needs a setup guide, it is not finished. Your first five minutes are the proof.
- 03
So it is still here in ten years
A small thing can be kept alive forever. That is the only promise this company can honestly make — so it is the one we build around.
We make it small, so it takes no hands.
It takes no hands, so it lasts.
Plugins for commerce shops
Small tools for WooCommerce stores. Each one fixes a single moment where a shop quietly loses a sale.
Ounce Restock Alerts
Brings back the shopper you lost to a sold-out page, the moment the item is back.
- Signup form survives page caching
- Sends without WP-Cron — no visitor required
- A delivery log that tells you what actually arrived
Plugin #2 is locked
Nothing new starts until the first one has twenty paying shops. One thing at a time — that is how the first one stays maintained.
Four things that do not move.
The free version is not a trap
No product limit, no send limit, no thirty-day clock. The free plugin does the whole job on your own server. Paid buys our infrastructure, never a key to code you already downloaded.
We do not sell lifetime licences
A lifetime licence is a promise funded by tomorrow’s customers. We take a yearly renewal instead, because that is the only price that pays for still being here.
You get an answer
Every question gets an answer from the person who wrote the code, within one working day. No tier one. No ticket that goes nowhere.
Your list is yours
Shopper emails belong to your shop. We process them to deliver your alerts and for nothing else — no resale, no profiling, no cross-shop anything.
Every question gets an answer from me within one working day. Write to jerry@ounceworks.com.
Be told when it ships
One email when the free plugin lands on WordPress.org, and one when the paid add-on opens. Nothing else, ever.
