Premium Plugins
Content editing made easy
We use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to control the WordPress editing experience. This tool allows us to create custom blocks for page building.
This plugin is indispensable. You can easily create all kinds of forms to help guide your customer or potential customers through the website using a call-to-action that will produce results. Formidable Forms also offers a wide array of extensions in order to customize the user experience even more.
Smart Slider 3 is incredibly versatile. Whether you want a simple slideshow or something more complex, anything is possible. It has animations and beautiful Ken Burns panning and zoom features.
Although Font Awesome is not a plugin, it does require an annual licensing fee, which is included as part of the LaLa WordPress Theme. Font Awesome is a library of over 4,500 vector icons – everything from social icons to chevron arrows.
The LaLa Stack
The following is a list of our preferred plugins. If you are hosting with Lala Projects, the annual fees are stated below.
LaLa Projects works to create collaborative opportunities for our clients. We do this by offering a human-supported hosting solution, discounts on website plugins and software licenses, and by building other shared resources. Together, we can save money, support each other, and create thriving businesses and organizations.
