I’ve been building WordPress websites across Kansas for years now — from Manhattan to Topeka to the KC metro — and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that plugin bloat is real. You start with a fresh install, and before you know it, you’ve got 25+ plugins, each doing one specific thing. Your dashboard gets messy, the site slows down, and maintenance becomes a nightmare.
That all changed when I discovered Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE Pro). This plugin isn’t just another add-on — it’s a complete toolkit. For me and my clients at MKS Web Design, ASE Pro has become an essential part of every WordPress site I build. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of WordPress development.
ASE launched in late 2022 and has since grown to include 68 powerful modules with over 200,000 active installations. It’s impressive growth for a plugin that started with only a few admin tweaks. Today, it covers everything from login security to custom post types, code snippets, and email delivery.
That kind of dedication is rare — and it shows. ASE Pro gets continuous updates, bug fixes, and new features almost monthly.
ASE Pro can replace 20+ plugins you might already be using — all in one place.
Here are a few examples of tools it eliminates:
For small business websites here in Kansas, that means faster load times, fewer updates, and cleaner dashboards — a major win for both performance and usability.
At MKS Web Design, these ASE Pro modules have become standard on every client site I launch:
For example, one Manhattan, KS real estate project used ASE Pro to create a full “Properties” post type with custom fields for pricing, features, and location — all integrated seamlessly into Bricks Builder.
Kansas businesses — whether they’re small shops, contractors, or service providers — need websites that work hard without costing a fortune. ASE Pro helps make that possible. By reducing plugin clutter, I can deliver faster, more stable sites without stacking up annual plugin subscriptions.
ASE Pro’s lifetime pricing starts at just $59. I use the 25-site plan at $199 lifetime, which easily replaces hundreds in yearly plugin costs like ACF Pro, Code Snippets, and SMTP tools. That value helps me keep Kansas client projects affordable while delivering premium quality.
ASE Pro integrates perfectly with Bricks Builder, which I use exclusively for new builds. Custom fields created in ASE appear instantly in Bricks’ dynamic data options — no setup needed. This makes it ideal for dynamic, fast-loading websites that still look custom-built.
ASE Pro is now part of my standard WordPress stack. It’s lightweight, efficient, and powerful — exactly what Kansas businesses need to stay competitive online. Whether you’re running a local shop in Manhattan, a restaurant in Topeka, or a service company in Kansas City, this plugin simplifies your site and keeps it performing at its best.
