Choosing
Which WordPress setup should you choose?
The WordPress block editor suits a team that wants to assemble varied pages while working within an agreed design. Custom blocks give editors components to work with, and the editor is part of WordPress itself, so there is no extra page builder to add. Think about who will make pages and how much freedom they need before choosing it.
A page builder such as Elementor or Divi gives your team drag-and-drop control. That freedom comes with trade-offs: pages can be heavier, editors can change layouts in ways you did not intend, and content can become tied to the builder. Check how comfortable your editors are with those trade-offs before making the builder central to the site.
A ready-made theme can suit a small, simple site with a modest brief. It often includes features you will not use, though, and making deep changes can take more effort than a custom build. We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you so the choice reflects the work your team needs to do.

What Detroit organisations need from WordPress
Detroit’s manufacturing, finance, technology and health care sectors have different content to manage. A marketing team running regular campaigns needs landing pages it can assemble from approved blocks without waiting for a developer each time. We set up those blocks around the pages the team needs to publish.
Technology organisations around TechTown in New Center can use separate editing screens for projects, events or job posts. We set up content types and fields so the people entering each item have a consistent structure to follow.
For an organisation around Wayne State University in Midtown, a site that already runs on WordPress may need a speed review, security clean-up and an editing setup that staff feel confident using.
Rules
What a US WordPress project has to handle
If your business is open to the public, US guidance says the ADA covers the goods and services you offer on the web. WCAG provides helpful guidance for the work. We set up page layouts and editing templates with that guidance in mind, and agree which parts of the site need review as the design develops.
If the site connects to commercial email, the messages need a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out. We set up the email templates with those details and plan how your team will honour opt-out requests.
How it runs
How a WordPress project runs with us
We work remotely from India over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 10h30m (Eastern) to 13h30m (Pacific) ahead of the mainland US in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time, except Arizona. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback and see what is ready for review across that gap.
- 01
Model the content
We identify the content types, fields and blocks your editors need. You tell us what they will publish, so the editing structure can shape the theme alongside the visual design.
- 02
Work on staging
Changes, plugin updates and content entry are checked on a staging copy before they move to the live site. You can review the work there before it goes live.
- 03
Test the editing screens
You try adding a page, a post and an image, then tell us where the setup needs to be clearer for your team.
- 04
Move existing content
We move content from your old site and set up redirects for the move.
- 05
Hand over editing
Your editors get a walkthrough or short screen recordings on pages and custom blocks, along with a note on settings to leave alone.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
A few details about the site and its editors will help us define the work.
- List the people who will edit the site and what they change most, such as news or product pages.
- Name the tools to connect, such as your CRM or booking system, and gather account access.
- Decide whether to keep your host, move to managed WordPress hosting or ask for a recommendation.
- Flag plans for online sales, memberships, courses or several languages before the build is scoped.
- Identify the content on your old site that needs moving and the pages that will need redirects.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of WordPress development
The work grows or shrinks with the editing setup, integrations and content you need to move.
Editing structure
More custom blocks, content types and field groups require more setup.
Site features
A shop, booking system, course or additional language adds plugin configuration and testing.
System connections
A CRM or ERP connection without a suitable existing plugin needs custom code.
Migration
Moving from another CMS or untangling a page-builder site takes different work from a WordPress-to-WordPress move.
Traffic and security
High traffic, strict uptime targets or security reviews add hosting, caching and hardening work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with WordPress
Skipping updates
Outdated plugins can expose a site to attacks. Test updates on staging before applying them to the live site.
Giving everyone administrator access
Give editors and authors lower roles so a stolen login has a more limited reach.
Updating without a backup
Back up both the site files and database first, so you have a copy to restore if an update breaks something.
Using nulled themes or plugins
Avoid pirated premium software, which can contain hidden malware and miss security updates.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Detroit
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
There is no fixed price. The work changes if you need to move content stored in builder shortcodes, add membership logins and payments, or use a separate front end with WordPress. Once we agree the scope, ask us for a free quote that covers the requirements you have chosen.
Is there still a need for WordPress developers?
Yes. WordPress work includes improving existing sites and helping businesses add online sales. For example, WooCommerce can add a shop to a WordPress site while keeping the content and shop in the same admin area. Your requirements determine the development work, including how your team will manage the site.
When should I choose a custom theme with fields?
A custom theme with Advanced Custom Fields suits a site with highly structured content and a layout you want to keep fixed. Editors fill in the fields instead of arranging each page from scratch. Consider it when consistency across entries is more useful to your team than freedom to rearrange every page.
What security work is included?
We select maintained plugins with a clear purpose and set up security hardening. That covers limited administrator accounts, strong passwords with two-factor login, a firewall, current software and backups stored away from the web server. Each plugin adds code to maintain and a possible weakness, so its purpose should be clear.
Who owns the site and its accounts?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Keep the domain, hosting and top administrator account in your business’s name, and remove access when staff or contractors leave. That gives you control over the assets and accounts you need to manage the site after handover.
What support is available after launch?
Our care plan covers updates, backups and monitoring after launch. WordPress applies minor maintenance and security releases automatically on most sites by default, but plugin and theme updates usually still need someone to apply and check them. Agree who will handle those checks as part of your ongoing site care.
