Forward Plugins develops plugins, browser extensions, and small apps with a focus on quality, ease of use, and accessibility. We build tools that solve real problems and make digital products easier to work with – for developers, designers, content editors, and everyday users alike.
Color contrast check
Web app
The app checks whether two colors, or a color placed over an image, have enough contrast to be readable and visible.
Embed Image Links
WordPress plugin
Insert a direct image link into a post, page, or bbPress, and show it automatically as an embedded image on the website. The plugin does not change the stored content and lets you control the image’s maximum width.
Forward Accessibility Lens
Chrome extension
Accessibility Lens helps designers, developers, and accessibility specialists quickly review page structure directly in the browser. The extension makes it easier to spot issues with headings, landmarks, images, ARIA labels, and keyboard navigation during design, development, and QA.
Queue Posts
WordPress plugin
Schedule posts and pages in a simple publishing queue. Choose the publishing window, interval, and whether weekends should be skipped, so new content is automatically placed after the latest scheduled publication.
Show Invisibles on GitHub
Chrome extension
Make spaces, tabs, and line breaks visible in GitHub’s code view.
Simple MailChimp Form
WordPress plugin
Add a simple Mailchimp signup form with a shortcode. The plugin collects email, first name, and last name and sends the signup directly to the selected Mailchimp list without storing subscribers in WordPress.
