Interactive UK Plate Configurator with Live Preview & Dynamic Pricing
Overview
We developed a custom WordPress plugin that allows users to build and preview UK number plates in real time, directly on the website.
This solution was designed for businesses selling number plates online, giving customers a smooth, interactive experience while keeping full control inside WordPress.
Front-End Plate Builder Experience
The front-end is designed to be simple, fast, and conversion-focused.
Key Features
- Real-time live preview of front and rear plates
- Step-by-step builder (registration → size → style → confirm)
- Automatic UK-style formatting and spacing
- Clean UI optimised for both desktop and mobile
- Support for multiple plate types (pair, single, etc.)
Customers can instantly see how their plate will look before purchasing, reducing friction and increasing confidence.
Advanced Styling & Customisation
Users can customise their plates with multiple options:
- Plate sizes (standard, short, oversized, 4×4, motorcycle)
- Borders (black, yellow, none)
- Badge / flag options
- Text styles (standard, 3D, gel, etc.)
- Road legal vs show plate styles
All changes update instantly in the preview, creating a seamless experience.
WordPress Admin & Pricing Control
The plugin integrates directly into the WordPress admin area, giving full control without needing code changes.

- Adjustable pricing for:
- Plate sizes
- Styles
