# Webware vs. plugins

 * Hi all. I’m a WordPress.org noob. I work with a company that builds many WordPress
   sites, and we also offer a separate Webware tool that supports content marketing
   activities. The tool works on WP sites, but independently of WP. There’s just
   a piece of embed code that goes into a generic html/text box, and the tool just
   works. So, it’s not technically a plugin. That said, it extends WP and we’d like
   to make our free version available via the plugin library. We’ve talked about
   making a basic WP-specific widget, and then offering it through the plugin library,
   although it’s not really a necessity to use the tool. How is WordPress.org developing/
   promoting Webware tools that complement WP? Is there a preferred path that we
   should consider? Thank you!
