Founded in 2013, we build intuitive and easy to use plugins for your WordPress site.
Our Story
Smash Balloon was born out of a desire to make it easy to add social media content to WordPress. Too many social media plugins are either too complicated to set up, drastically slow down your site, aren’t customizable enough, or break anytime the platform makes a change. We set out with the mission to solve this problem.
At Smash Balloon, we pride ourselves on creating plugins that are not only intuitive and simple to use, but also designed to integrate seamlessly into your website and allow you to display your social media content in powerful and unique ways. Over 1.6 million awesome people have decided to actively use our plugins, which is an incredible honor that we don’t take lightly. This compels us to also provide the quickest and most effective customer support that we can, blowing users away with the best customer service they’ve ever experienced.
