Why We Built DevGate – A Dashboard Widget for Developers
As developers, we spend a lot of time in the WordPress admin — and so do our clients. But we noticed something: there was no simple way to leave our mark on the dashboard.
We wanted a way to:
- Show our clients that we built their site
- Provide quick access to support contact information
- Make sure our branding stays visible — without being intrusive
That’s why we built DevGate.
What DevGate does
- Displays your logo, company name, and tagline
- Shows your support email and website link
- Locks itself at the top-left of the dashboard — no drag, no close
- Works entirely locally — no external fonts, no tracking
DevGate is free, open source, and available now. If you’re a freelancer or agency, it’s a simple way to build trust with your clients.
