Choosing
Which WordPress setup should you choose?
Start with how you want to edit. A ready-made theme suits a small, simple site with a modest brief. It takes less effort to configure than building from a custom design, though it can include features you do not use and become awkward to change deeply. If your team wants varied page layouts within your design rules, the WordPress block editor with custom blocks is an option. It is part of WordPress, so you do not need an extra page builder.
For structured content, a custom theme with Advanced Custom Fields gives editors fields to fill in while keeping the layout fixed. Headless WordPress is a different choice: WordPress remains the editor, but a separate front end such as Next.js displays the site. It suits very fast pages or app-like features, though hosting becomes more complex and some plugins stop working.
Hosting is a separate decision. Managed WordPress hosting suits you if you want the host to handle server caching, backups and core updates. Basic shared hosting costs less, but is often slower and leaves more upkeep with you.

What Montreal organisations need from WordPress
If you manage a software engineering or telecommunications business, your site might need structured project and team pages. Custom post types give each entry its own editing screen and fields, so your team can add information in a consistent format.
AI research organisations that publish regularly need an editor their staff can use for news, events and pages without asking a developer for help each time. The editing setup should reflect the content your organisation publishes most often.
For a cultural, film or music festival organisation offering memberships, logins and members-only content are practical requirements to discuss early. Established WordPress plugins handle those features and payments, so they need a place in the site plan.
Rules
What your Canadian WordPress project needs to handle
Quebec requires commercial publications, including those on a website, to be in French. We set up French commercial pages as part of the build, so you have a place to publish and maintain that content.
If you send commercial emails, consent, sender identification and unsubscribe handling need to be part of the setup. We set up the consent route for your mailing list and the email details your messages need, including a current mailing address and an unsubscribe mechanism. Your team also needs a process for acting on unsubscribe requests.
How it runs
How a WordPress project runs with us
We work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. Eastern Time moves closer to India time during daylight saving, so the board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across the time difference.
- 01
Plan the content
We identify the content types, fields and blocks your editors need. You tell us what you publish, because those choices shape the theme as well as its design.
- 02
Build and test
We build code or a CMS your team can edit, then test on real devices and browsers. You can review how the pages work across the screens your team uses.
- 03
Check on staging
Work happens on a staging copy first. We check changes, plugin updates and content entry there before moving them to the live site.
- 04
Try the editor
You review the editing screens as well as the finished pages. Adding a page, a post and an image shows you and us whether the setup suits your team.
- 05
Hand over
We provide a walkthrough or short screen recordings for adding pages and using custom blocks, along with a note on settings your editors should leave alone.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These details give us a useful starting point for your scope.
- EditorsList who will update the site and what they change most often, such as news or product pages.
- ConnectionsList your CRM, booking system, email platform or payment gateway, and gather account access.
- HostingDecide if you want to keep your current host, move to managed hosting or ask us to recommend one.
- PlansTell us about online sales, memberships, courses or several languages.
- AccessKeep the top administrator account, hosting and domain in your business name, and remove access for people who leave.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The scope determines how much configuration, code and testing the project needs.
Editing tools
More custom blocks, post types and field groups mean more editing components to build.
Site features
Shops, memberships, bookings, courses and multiple languages add plugin configuration and testing.
System connections
A CRM or ERP connection without a suitable 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
Adding a plugin for every small feature
Keep the plugin list purposeful. Extra plugins can slow the site, conflict and add to your update workload.
Using pirated themes or plugins
Avoid nulled copies. They can contain hidden malware and do not receive security updates.
Making everyone an administrator
Give editors and authors lower roles to limit the damage if a login is stolen.
Leaving PHP on an old version
Check the version with your host. End-of-life versions can expose the site to security vulnerabilities.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Montreal
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
There is no fixed price. Building a theme from a custom design takes more work than configuring an existing theme, and plugin selection also affects the work: each plugin adds code to maintain and a possible security weakness. Agree the theme approach and the purpose of each plugin when defining the scope.
Is WordPress still a useful choice for my business?
Yes. WordPress remains useful for an existing site that needs speed fixes, security clean-up or a theme your team can edit confidently. If you are starting to sell online, WooCommerce can add a shop while keeping your content and shop management in the same admin area.
What should WordPress security work include?
Ask for limited administrator accounts, strong passwords with two-factor login, a firewall, current software and backups stored away from the web server. We also choose only the plugins your site needs, keep them updated and harden the site. These are specific items you can include in the agreed scope.
Will I own the site after it is built?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. That gives your business control over those assets after handover. Make sure the people responsible for the site know where your domain, content and code are held and who has access to them.
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 when planning ongoing care.
Can you move my existing WordPress site?
Yes. We move content from an old site and set up redirects as part of a migration or redesign. Tell us if your current pages were built with a page builder: content stored in its shortcodes can be hard to move into another theme, so that affects the migration work.
