About The Bald Fat Guy
Simple tools for real-world work
I am Joby, also known online as The Bald Fat Guy. I run a mix of small, very real businesses:
fundraisers, apparel, signs, repairs, and whatever else decides to land on my plate next.
Along the way, I kept running into the same problem over and over:
WordPress plugins that were bloated, confusing, or just did not do the one job I needed them to do.
So, instead of fighting with tools that tried to be everything, I started building my own.
The plugins you find here are the same ones I rely on in my daily work.
If I did not trust them on my own sites, they would not be listed on this one.
What I Build
The short version: I build purpose-built WordPress plugins that solve very specific problems
for people who actually run businesses.
Most of them live in the world I know best:
- Fundraising and group orders
- Apparel and printing workflows
- WooCommerce shops that need practical tools
- Everyday admin tasks that should be easier than they are
Each plugin is designed to be:
- Simple to install
- Clear to understand
- Focused on one job
- Something you can actually trust in production
How I Approach Plugins
I do not chase feature lists or marketing buzzwords.
If a plugin is here, it is because it solved a real pain point for me first.
I care about:
- Clarity – you should know what a plugin does in one glance.
- Stability – tools should not break every time WordPress updates.
- Respect for your time – no 20-step setup, no “click here to unlock Pro”.
If you are the kind of person who just wants things to work so you can move on with your day,
you are in the right place.
About the Name
Yes, the name is a little unprofessional on purpose.
It started as a nickname and never went away.

and an offhand comment turned into a business name, you can read it here:
