Choosing
Which WordPress setup should you choose?
The WordPress block editor suits a team that wants to assemble varied pages within an agreed design. Custom blocks give editors those choices without adding another builder. For a small site with a modest brief, a ready-made theme is another option. It takes less configuration, though it can load features you do not need and make deeper design changes harder.
A page builder such as Elementor or Divi gives editors drag-and-drop freedom. That flexibility has trade-offs: pages can become heavier, layouts can be broken during editing and content can become tied to the builder. Ask who will make changes and how much control they need over each page before choosing it.
Headless WordPress keeps WordPress as the editing system and uses a separate front end, such as Next.js. It suits a site that needs very fast pages or app-like features. The extra front end makes hosting more involved, however, and some WordPress plugins stop working. Your editing needs and required features should guide the choice.
Local
What Michigan organisations need from WordPress
Manufacturing is Michigan's largest output sector. A manufacturer with a collection of projects can use a custom post type with its own fields, giving staff a consistent way to add each project without rebuilding its layout.
Metro Detroit is home to the headquarters of the country's three major automobile companies. An automotive organisation with staff updating pages needs an editing setup that keeps those changes within the intended layout. Custom fields and blocks give editors a structured place to make them.
Tourism is important in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A tourism business starting to sell online can add WooCommerce to its WordPress site, so staff manage the shop and the site's content in the same admin area.
Rules
What a United States WordPress project has to handle
For a business open to the public, US guidance says the ADA covers goods and services offered on the web. WCAG provides guidance for the build. We set up page templates with that guidance in mind and review the pages against it as part of the work.
For a state or local government website, the applicable rule specifies WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We set up the site's templates and content against that standard and check the work before launch. The requirement needs to be part of the brief from the outset.
How it runs
How a WordPress project runs with us
We work remotely across the time difference: IST is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. To keep work moving, we agree the scope, share designs for your feedback and carry the project through build and launch.
- 01
Content model
We identify the content types, fields and blocks your editors need. You tell us what they publish and change, so the editing setup shapes the theme from the start.
- 02
Staging
We work on a staging copy. Changes, plugin updates and content entry are checked there before they move to the live site; you can review the work before it goes live.
- 03
Build and test
We build the editable site and test it on real devices and browsers. You review the pages and editing experience as the work takes shape.
- 04
Move content
When there is an existing site, we move its content and set up redirects from old addresses. You help identify the content that needs to make the move.
- 05
Handover
Your editors get a walkthrough or short screen recordings covering pages and custom blocks, along with a note on settings to leave alone.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring the details that describe your current setup and what your team needs to change.
- Identify your editors and the content they change most often, such as news, team profiles or product pages.
- Gather administrator access for the current site, hosting and domain, plus a list of plugins and their jobs.
- List the systems the site must connect to, such as your CRM or booking system, and gather account access.
- Tell us about plans for sales, memberships, courses or several languages.
- Check that the top administrator account, hosting and domain are in your business's name, and remove access for people who have left.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope determines how much design, configuration and testing the project needs.
Theme
A custom design takes more build work than configuring an existing theme.
Editing setup
More custom blocks, post types and field groups mean more to build and test for your editors.
Site features
Bookings, courses and several languages each bring plugin configuration and testing into the project.
System connections
A CRM or ERP connection without an existing plugin needs custom code.
Traffic and security
High traffic, strict uptime targets or security reviews add hosting, caching and hardening work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with WordPress
Adding a plugin for every small feature
Give each plugin a clear purpose. Large plugin counts add updates and can slow the site or cause conflicts.
Making everyone an administrator
Give editors and authors lower-level roles to limit the damage if a login is stolen.
Avoiding updates
Outdated plugins are a frequent route into hacked sites. Test updates on staging before applying them to the live site.
Updating without a backup
Back up both the site's files and database first, so you have a way to restore them if an update breaks something.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Michigan
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
There is no fixed price. Moving an existing site's content, setting up speed infrastructure and adding membership payments are examples of work that shape the quote. Tell us what the site needs to do and what must move from the old site; we send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Is WordPress still useful for an active website?
Yes. WordPress gives content-heavy organisations an editor for publishing news, events and pages, and it also supports campaign pages. For a marketing team, approved blocks let staff assemble landing pages without waiting for a developer each time they need to publish.
What does a WordPress development project include?
A build covers the theme, editing setup, content types, hosting configuration, security, caching and any existing content that needs moving. Plugin selection is part of that work. Each plugin adds code that needs updating and a possible security weakness, so we choose maintained plugins with a clear purpose.
Should I choose managed WordPress hosting?
Managed hosting suits you if you want the host to handle server caching, backups and WordPress core updates. Basic shared hosting costs less, but is often slower and leaves more upkeep to you. Decide who will be responsible for that upkeep before choosing the hosting account.
Who owns the website after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. That gives your business control over those assets after the project. You can decide who works on the site in future and keep the domain and content under your own ownership.
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 take responsibility for that work.
