Choosing
Which WordPress setup should you choose?
Start with how your team will edit. The WordPress block editor with custom blocks suits a marketing team that needs varied pages within agreed design rules. Your editors can assemble pages from those blocks without adding a separate page builder. It gives them room to change page content while keeping the available layouts tied to the design.
A custom theme with Advanced Custom Fields suits structured content where the layout should stay fixed. Editors fill in fields and the theme controls how those details appear. Headless WordPress is a different choice: WordPress remains the editor, while a separate front end handles the pages. It suits sites needing very fast pages or app-like features, but adds hosting complexity and leaves some plugins unable to work.
We help you choose during discovery by learning about your audience and goals, then agreeing the scope with you. Before code starts, we prepare desktop and mobile designs and refine them with your feedback, so the editing approach and page layouts have a direction your team can work with.

What Vancouver businesses need from WordPress
Vancouver's forestry and tourism businesses have different content to manage. A forestry company can use a projects content type with its own editing screen and fields, giving each project entry a consistent layout. A tourism business running regular campaigns can give its marketing team approved blocks for landing pages, so staff can prepare campaign content without waiting for a developer.
The city's software development, biotechnology, aerospace, games, animation, television and film sectors also include organisations with content to publish and products to present. For a business starting to sell online, WooCommerce adds a shop to WordPress and keeps the shop and site content in the same admin area. That gives the team a single place to manage both.
Rules
What a WordPress project in Canada has to handle
A newsletter signup needs to account for Canada's anti-spam requirements. We set up a consent field for commercial messages and an unsubscribe route, with sender identification and a current mailing address in the connected email setup. The unsubscribe process also needs to handle requests within the required period.
Personal information collected through site forms also needs attention. British Columbia has its own private-sector privacy law, so we plan the information requested in each form and set up a privacy page explaining how the business uses and discloses personal information.
How it runs
How a WordPress project runs with us
We work remotely from India using video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India is 12h30m ahead of British Columbia, so the board gives you a place to leave feedback and see work in progress across the time difference.
- 01
Model the content
We identify the content types, fields and blocks your editors need. You show us what your team publishes and changes, so those editing requirements shape the theme from the start.
- 02
Build and test
We build the site with code or a CMS your team can edit, then test it on real devices and browsers. You review the work as it takes shape.
- 03
Check on staging
We use a staging copy to check changes, plugin updates and content entry before moving them to the live site. You can review the content before it goes live.
- 04
Move existing content
If you have an old site, we move its content and set up redirects. You help identify the content that needs to make the move.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These details help us understand the editing work, existing setup and connections your site needs.
- List the people who edit the site and what they change most often, such as news, team profiles or product pages.
- Have administrator access ready for the current site, hosting and domain, plus a list of plugins and what each does.
- List the tools the site must connect to, such as your CRM, booking system or payment gateway, and have account access ready.
- Decide whether to keep your host, move to managed WordPress hosting or ask us to recommend an option.
- Keep the top administrator account, hosting and domain in your business's name, and remove access for people who have left.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The work involved depends on the editing setup, hosting and security requirements you agree for the site.
Editing setup
More custom blocks, post types and field groups mean more of the editor needs to be designed and built.
Traffic and security
High traffic, strict uptime targets or security reviews add hosting, caching and hardening work.
Hosting
Managed WordPress hosting handles server caching, backups and core updates; basic shared hosting leaves more upkeep to the owner.
Plugin selection
Each plugin adds code to maintain and a possible security weakness, so choosing maintained plugins with a clear purpose is part of the work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with WordPress
Adding a plugin for every small feature
A large plugin count can slow the site, create conflicts and multiply updates. Give each plugin a clear job.
Giving everyone administrator access
Give editors and authors lower roles to limit the damage if a login is stolen.
Leaving PHP out of date
Check the hosting environment and avoid an end-of-life PHP version, which can expose the site to security vulnerabilities.
Updating without a backup
Back up both the site files and database first, so you have a way to restore the site if an update breaks something.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Vancouver
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a WordPress developer?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include a custom theme versus an adapted theme, the source and size of any migration, and features such as bookings, memberships or several languages. Each changes the amount of configuration, content work and testing included in the scope.
Is there still a need for WordPress development?
Yes. Publishers, schools and associations need editors that let staff publish news, events and pages without developer help. Small businesses with existing WordPress sites also need work on speed, security and editable themes. The right brief starts with the tasks your team needs to carry out.
Should I use a ready-made theme?
A ready-made theme suits a small, simple site with a modest brief. Check the changes you need before choosing it: themes often load features your site never uses, and making deep changes can be harder than building a custom theme. List the page layouts you need before deciding.
What is included in a WordPress build?
A build covers the theme, editing setup, content types, plugins, hosting configuration, security, caching and any move of existing content. Security hardening includes limiting administrator accounts, using strong passwords and two-factor login, a firewall, current software and backups stored away from the web server.
Will I own the site after launch?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. At handover, your editors also get a walkthrough or short screen recordings on adding pages and using custom blocks, plus a note on settings they should leave alone.
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 that work before launch.
