What is the difference between a Moodle™ developer and a Moodle™ specialist?

A Moodle™ developer focuses on writing code: plugins, themes and integrations. A Moodle™ specialist covers the full picture: development, but also architecture, security, performance, upgrades and advice. At Ldesign Media our specialists are developers first, with the consulting experience to match.

What does a Moodle™ specialist cost?

That depends on the scope. After a requirements analysis you receive one fixed price for the agreed work, no hourly billing and no surprises afterwards. Smaller jobs such as audits or quick fixes are quoted upfront as well.

Do you also support Moodle™ Workplace?

Yes. We build and maintain solutions for both Moodle™ LMS and Moodle™ Workplace, including multi-tenant setups, dynamic rules and Workplace-specific plugins.

Can you take over an existing Moodle™ environment?

Yes, we regularly take over environments built by other parties. We start with a technical review of the codebase, plugins and hosting setup, fix urgent issues and then improve the environment step by step.

How does working together start?

It starts with a no-obligation conversation about your goals. We analyze your environment and requirements, propose a solution with a fixed price and timeline, and deliver iteratively with demos on a staging environment before anything goes live.

What does a Moodle™ specialist do?

A Moodle™ specialist combines deep platform knowledge with software engineering. We analyze how your organization learns, translate that into technical solutions, and make sure Moodle™ keeps doing its job: from configuration and custom development to performance tuning and troubleshooting.

When do you call in a specialist?

When standard plugins fall short, when your environment gets slow or unstable, when an upgrade feels risky, or when Moodle™ needs to talk to your HR, CRM or authentication systems. A specialist prevents expensive mistakes and gets you to a working solution faster.

Our Moodle™ Expertise

Custom Development

Bespoke plugins, themes and course formats, built to Moodle™ coding standards and ready for future upgrades.

System Integration

SSO, HR sync, CRM, LTI and xAPI: we connect Moodle™ to the systems your organization already uses.

Security & Code Review

Security audits and plugin source-code reviews that uncover vulnerabilities before they become incidents.

Upgrades & Migration

Risk-free upgrades and migrations, including grades, certificates and custom code, without data loss.

Performance & Stability

Slow environment? We profile, optimize and stabilize Moodle™ so it stays fast under load.

Technical Advice

Independent advice on architecture, plugin choices and hosting, so you invest in the right solution.

Why work with a Moodle™ specialist agency?

A generalist web agency treats Moodle™ as just another CMS. We do not. Our team works with the platform every day, contributes to the open-source community and knows how Moodle™ behaves across versions, from 1.8 to 5.2. That depth shows in solutions that survive upgrades instead of breaking on them.

Proven track record

More than 300 custom plugins delivered for organizations like KLM, ANWB and Amsterdam UMC. Several of our plugins are published and maintained on Moodle.org, including Group Auto-enrol, User Avatar and User Favorites.
