[View profile](/about-us/elvis-omondi/) ## How FooPlugins began Before there was a FooPlugins business, [Brad Vincent](/about-us/brad-vincent/) and [Steve Usher](/about-us/steve-usher/) created [FooBar](/foobar-wordpress-notification-bars/) around 2009. Steve built the JavaScript and CSS, while Brad connected the product to WordPress with PHP. The original FooBar was hosted and sold on CodeCanyon in both jQuery and WordPress versions. Brad met [Adam W. Warner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamwwarner/) on the Gravity Forms forums in 2012 after building an extension for one of Adam’s clients. They stayed in touch and developed FooBox together: Adam brought the product and marketing perspective, and Brad and Steve built the plugin. FooBox’s early sales showed that this could become more than a single product. Brad and Adam co-founded the FooPlugins business after they met and launched it publicly with a sponsorship at WordCamp Miami in 2013. FooBar was an earlier Brad-and-Steve project; it was not the start of FooPlugins. Working with galleries for FooBox led the team to build [FooGallery](/foogallery-wordpress-gallery-plugin/) . We have since added more ways to display content, engage visitors and support photographers’ workflows, while continuing to improve the original products. Adam later moved on from FooPlugins. Today Brad and Tam own and run the company with the team pictured above. We still work in the same spirit: find a real WordPress problem, build a useful solution and improve it with customer feedback. ## How FooPlugins works Choose the [plugin](/) or [bundle](/bundles/) that fits your site.
