Custom Location Weather Plugin

Type of Work: WordPress Plugin Development (Class Project)

Project Title: Custom Location Weather & Local Time Plugin

Client Name: Personal Project (Used in Tendercut’s Website)

Completion Date: February 2025

My Role: Plugin Developer

Method:
This plugin idea came from my Tendercut website project, where I wanted to add real-time weather updates for the local community. I researched existing weather APIs and explored how WordPress handles custom plugin development. I focused on keeping the plugin lightweight and customizable.

Process:
I wrote the plugin using PHP, JavaScript, and HTML, and connected it to a reliable weather API to fetch real-time data. The plugin was built to be reusable, letting users choose any location and automatically display both local weather and time. I added styling to match WordPress themes and made sure it worked smoothly on all devices.

Solution:
The final deliverable was a working WordPress plugin named Custom Location Weather, which displays real-time weather conditions and local time for any chosen location. It enhances websites—especially local businesses or blogs—by providing relevant, location-based information to visitors. The plugin improves engagement and offers added value without slowing down the site.
