Moodle Development
We build, customize, and integrate Moodle so it works the way your program actually runs: custom plugins, themes, integrations, and fixes from a team that knows the platform inside out. You keep the open-source freedom, and we make it fit.
Trusted by teams running their own learning platforms
Moodle can do almost anything, which is exactly the problem.
Moodle is powerful and free, but out of the box it rarely matches how you actually teach. The feature you need lives in a plugin that's half-maintained, or doesn't exist. The interface confuses your learners. It won't talk to your other tools. And every time you try to change something, you're one wrong setting away from breaking the whole site.
A half-configured Moodle costs you more than a clean build.
Learners drop off when the platform is confusing. Instructors waste hours on workarounds. Unmaintained plugins turn into security holes and break on every upgrade. And the "free" platform quietly eats your team's time: someone is always firefighting instead of teaching. The longer it drifts, the harder and more expensive it gets to untangle.
Moodle, shaped around your program and built to last.
We make Moodle do what you need: custom plugins, a theme your learners find intuitive, integrations with the tools you already use, and clean upgrades that don't break. You keep everything good about open-source Moodle (no license fees, and full control of your data), without the maintenance headaches and dead-end plugins.

Ongoing maintenance
Someone who knows your setup, so you're not firefighting alone.
How we build on Moodle
Discovery call
A free 30-minute call to understand your Moodle setup, your learners, and what's not working today.
Scope & plan
A clear plan: what we build or fix, the timeline, and the cost. Fixed and upfront, before any work starts.
Build in weekly sprints
You get working changes to click through every week, so you see real progress instead of month-long silences.
Launch & handover
We ship to your Moodle, make sure it works, and document what we did. We stay available for what's next.
How much does Moodle development cost?
Moodle itself is free and open-source. What costs money is hosting, customization, and development. A single plugin or theme tweak can cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars; a fully customized and integrated Moodle build runs higher. At Rizon, we scope your project during a free discovery call and give you a fixed price before any work begins.
What moves the price: whether you need a one-off plugin or ongoing development, how much custom design the theme involves, the number of integrations (payments, video, SSO, CRM, LTI tools), and whether you're upgrading or migrating an existing site. A focused fix sits at the low end; a full custom build with integrations sits higher.
Moodle work we've done
Choice Learning (EdEHR)
We took over a stalled EdEHR platform, finished it, and modernized its LMS integration.
Result: 1,200 students served per quarter.
Moodle development, answered
Is Moodle free?
Moodle is free, open-source software, with no license fee. What costs money is hosting it, customizing it, building plugins or themes, and integrating it with your other tools. You own and control everything, which is the main reason organizations choose Moodle over closed platforms.
Can you build a custom Moodle plugin?
Yes. We build custom Moodle plugins that add exactly the functionality your site is missing, properly built and maintained so they don't break on the next upgrade. This is safer and more reliable than depending on an unmaintained plugin from the directory.
Can you customize how Moodle looks?
Yes. We build custom Moodle themes that are on-brand and easy for your learners to navigate on any device, instead of the default interface that often confuses people and drives drop-off.
Can you integrate Moodle with our other tools?
Yes. We integrate Moodle with payments (Stripe, PayPal), video (Zoom, Google Meet), SSO, your CRM, and any LTI-compliant tool, including turning course purchases into automatic enrollments.
Can you upgrade or migrate our existing Moodle site?
Yes. We handle Moodle version upgrades and migrations without losing your courses, users, or data, including moves from another platform onto Moodle, or off Moodle onto something else.
