The OP could also look at "12.13 Advanced configuration" from Org
manual. There's an example on how to extend an existing back-end.

There's also `org-export-define-derived-backend' docstring.

If the new exporter is not meant for public consumption and would always
be used instead of regular html back-end, defadvices are also fine.
