Remote-first WordPress development
WordPress Development Company in India
Your business can be in any Indian city, or overseas, and still work with one WordPress team. Our head office is in Navi Mumbai, with teams in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and every project ends with a handover kit that leaves you in charge of your site.
We build WordPress and WooCommerce sites, migrate sites from other platforms, look after them afterwards and train your editors. We report progress monthly.
- Head office in Navi Mumbai
- Teams in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi
- Monthly progress report
A WordPress development company in India designs, builds, migrates and maintains WordPress and WooCommerce sites, often remotely. The Adroit has its head office in Navi Mumbai and teams in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi & Kolkata, so a client in any city or country gets the same process: a written scope, staging reviews, a monthly report and a handover kit that leaves you owning the site.
How a remote project runs
How does a WordPress project run when we are not in your city?
Distance changes how we meet, not what gets built. A remote project swaps site visits for a written scope, a staging link you can open on your phone and milestone demos on video calls, and every step ends with something you can inspect. As a typical range only, a focused brochure site is commonly 4 to 8 weeks; larger WooCommerce or migration-heavy builds take longer.
Discovery call and written scope
Goals, pages, integrations, content and who approves what.
You receiveWritten scope, sitemap and an assumptions listDesign direction
Key templates are shared for comment before code is written, so feedback is about a picture, not a half-built site.

Migrations
Moving to WordPress from Wix, Shopify or another platform: what can go wrong?
The risky part of a migration is rarely the design. It is the invisible things: old URLs that Google already knows, forms that email someone, tracking tags and the mailboxes tied to your domain. Rankings can still move after any migration, so the aim is to remove avoidable losses.
| Moving from | What usually goes wrong | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Wix | The design and code cannot be lifted across, so the layout has to be rebuilt. Blog and product content must be exported or copied, and URL patterns differ from WordPress. | Layouts rebuilt as WordPress templates, content moved in batches, and a redirect map built from a crawl of every live URL. |
| Shopify | Product, collection and blog URLs follow Shopify patterns. Order history, customer accounts and tax settings need mapping, and the checkout changes. | Products and customers exported as CSV and imported into WooCommerce, URLs kept or redirected, payments and tax tested before the switch. |
| WordPress.com | Plugin choice was limited by the plan. Self-hosted WordPress means you now own hosting, updates and backups. | Content and media exported, hosting and security set up, plugin features recreated, and who runs updates agreed before launch. |
| Older self-hosted WordPress | Outdated PHP, abandoned plugins, undocumented custom code and sometimes infected files. | Plugins and theme audited, a clean install built, content moved without the old code, and files scanned before and after. |
| Joomla, Drupal or another CMS | Content lives in custom fields and structures that do not map one-to-one. User roles and permissions differ. | Content types mapped to custom post types and fields, a scripted import, and a sample import approved by you before the full run. |
| Hand-coded HTML or legacy PHP site | There is no CMS to export from. Pages may be pasted into templates, and forms and scripts sit in separate files. | A content inventory from a crawl, templates rebuilt, forms and scripts recreated, and URL parity kept wherever it makes sense. |
The cutover is where small mistakes become outages
Domain email is the one that surprises people. If your mailboxes sit with the old provider, careless DNS changes can interrupt them, so we read the existing records first and keep the mail settings intact. We also lower the DNS cache time ahead of launch and keep the old site reachable on a private address until you have signed off the new one.
If you rely on search traffic, tell us early. We keep the page titles, headings and internal links that already work, and set up Search Console so the effect of the move is visible.
Cutover checklist
- Redirect map tested against the crawl
- DNS and email records read before any change
- Forms submitted and received
- Analytics and tags firing on the new pages
- Sitemap submitted, robots rules checked
- Media and downloads opening
WooCommerce for sellers
Does WooCommerce suit a D2C brand or a marketplace seller?
WooCommerce runs on 19.8% of WordPress sites (W3Techs, checked Oct 2026), which is why payment, shipping and invoicing connectors, and people who know them, are easy to find. For a D2C brand that wants to own its checkout and customer list, it is a sensible base. Whether it is the right one depends on catalogue size, how much custom logic you need and who will run it after launch.
D2C storefront
Products with variants, prepaid and cash-on-delivery options, coupons and order emails. Indian payment gateways such as Razorpay and PayU, and shipping aggregators, are common integration targets.
Marketplace sellers
Keep your marketplace listings and add a store you control beside them, with stock kept in step between both. Listing and catalogue operations sit with our marketplace management team.
Tax and invoices
GST and HSN fields on products, and invoices laid out for Indian buyers. Tax rules are your accountant's call; we configure the store to match what they confirm.
When a hosted platform is the calmer choice
WooCommerce gives you control, and control comes with chores: updates, backups, security and hosting that copes with sale days. If nobody on your side wants those, or a hosted store builder already covers your catalogue, say so in discovery. We would rather scope the right tool than sell the one we build.
If a seller outgrows a hosted plan, the move to WooCommerce follows the migration steps in the table above.
Questions we ask before building a store
- How many products and variants, and how often do they change?
- Where will stock and orders be managed?
- Which payment, shipping and invoice tools must connect?
- Who handles updates and sale-day traffic?
Hosting selection
Which hosting should a WordPress site in India use?
Choose hosting by traffic, by who will administer it and by where your visitors are. A poor host undoes good development, so we recommend options in the proposal rather than leave it to a default. The account is opened in your name, so the bill and the control stay with you.
| Hosting option | Fits when | Watch for | Ask the host |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting | A small brochure site with modest traffic and a team that wants the lowest running cost. | Neighbouring sites share resources, so speed can vary. | Which PHP versions can I choose, and can I run PHP 8.3 or newer? |
| Managed WordPress hosting | Teams that want server updates, caching and staging handled by the host. | Some plugins are blocked, and plans may cap visits or sites. | Is there a staging site, and how are backups restored? |
| VPS or cloud server | Larger, custom or WooCommerce builds, with someone to administer the server. | Nobody patches the server unless someone is assigned. Costs and responsibility both rise. | Who applies operating-system and PHP updates, and who watches the server? |
| Servers in an Indian region | Most visitors are in India, or you want data and backups stored in India. | Not every plan lets you pick a region. Data-location duties are a question for your own counsel. | Where are the servers and the backup copies physically stored? |
Check the platform facts before you sign
WordPress moves quickly, and a host that cannot run a current PHP version will hold your site back. Use these facts as a checklist when you compare plans.
| Item | Position | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Latest WordPress | 7.1.2, released 22 September 2026 with a security fix. The next major, 7.2, is proposed for 9 December 2026. | wordpress.org releases, checked Oct 2026 |
| Support policy | Only the latest WordPress version is officially supported; older branches get backported fixes as a courtesy. | wordpress.org/about/security, checked Oct 2026 |
| Server requirements | PHP 8.3 or newer, MariaDB 10.11+ or MySQL 8.0+, and HTTPS. | wordpress.org/about/requirements, checked Oct 2026 |
| PHP 8.2 on your host | Security fixes only, ending on 31 December 2026. PHP 8.3 is supported to 31 December 2027. | php.net/supported-versions.php, checked Oct 2026 |
Maintenance plans
What should a WordPress maintenance plan include?
Most plans cover the same ground; the differences are in how the work is done and how it is reported. What is included in our plans is set out in the proposal. The table is a yardstick for ours or anyone else's, together with the question that shows whether a line item is real.
| Plan item | What to expect | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Core, theme and plugin updates | Updates applied on a schedule, with risky ones tried on a staging copy first, and a note of what changed. | Do updates go to staging before the live site? |
| Backups with restore tests | Scheduled copies kept away from the web server, and a restore tried now and then to prove they work. | When was a restore last tested? |
| Uptime and security monitoring | Alerts when the site is down, malware scans, and login protection such as two-factor sign-in and rate limiting. | Who is alerted, and what do they do next? |
| Small fixes and content changes | A bounded amount of minor edits and fixes, so small jobs do not need a new quote each time. | What counts as small, and where does a new feature begin? |
| Monthly report | A plain summary of what was updated, what failed, what was fixed and what we recommend next. | Can I see a sample report? |
| Usually quoted separately | New features, redesigns, content writing, SEO campaigns, and third-party licence fees. | Which of my likely needs are outside the plan? |
- New features
- Redesigns
- Content writing
- SEO campaigns
- Third-party licence fees
Security in a build is a set of controls, not a guarantee: least-privilege user roles, two-factor sign-in for admins, a web application firewall and rate limiting, hardened file permissions, a limited set of vetted plugins and tested backups. Maintenance keeps those controls current.
Handover kit
What is in the handover kit when we finish?
A handover is the difference between a site you rent and a site you own. This is the standard list we work through; the exact contents, and the ownership terms behind them, are set out in the proposal and agreed in writing.
Access
- 01Admin accounts in your name
- 02Hosting, domain and DNS
- 05Analytics, Search Console, tag manager
- 10Credentials changed
Files and licences
- 03Theme and plugin files, repository
- 04Plugin and licence list
Safety net
- 06Staging site and publish steps
- 07Backup location and restore steps
Know-how
- 08Site guide
- 09Editor training
- Admin accounts in your name, with least-privilege roles for your team
- Hosting, domain and DNS details held in accounts you control
- Theme and plugin files, and the code repository where one is used
- Plugin and licence list with renewal dates and who pays
- Analytics, Search Console and tag manager access
- Staging site and the steps to publish to live
- Backup location and written restore steps
- Site guide for editing pages, menus and products, and what to leave alone
- Editor training for your team, in a format agreed in the proposal
- Credentials changed at handover, with our temporary access removed or agreed
Why editors can work without us
We build with the block editor and reusable patterns, so your team changes text, images, menus and products inside layouts that are hard to break. The training covers the tasks your editors will actually do, and the site guide covers the rest.
It also protects you if we part ways. With access, files, licences and restore steps in your hands, another developer can pick the site up without starting from zero. Our WordPress development services page explains what we build; this kit is how we finish it.
At sign-off we check three things
- You can sign in as the site owner and see every user
- A backup can be restored to a test location
- One of your editors has published a page without help

Questions
FAQs
Yes. The Adroit runs WordPress projects remotely from its head office in Navi Mumbai, with teams in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, so your city does not need to match ours. Work is organised around a written scope, a private staging site, milestone demos on video calls and a monthly report. Overseas clients work the same way; we work to Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and agree the overlap hours per project.
It runs in seven steps: discovery and written scope, design direction, a staging build, review rounds, a content and migration rehearsal, launch with a cutover checklist, and handover. Each step ends with something you can inspect, such as a sitemap, a staging link or a redirect map. Along the way you get milestone demos and a monthly report.
We can remove the avoidable losses, but nobody can promise rankings. The method is to crawl every live URL, map each old address to its new one, rebuild the content and templates, rehearse the move on staging, then switch DNS with forms, tracking and email tested. Wix layouts are rebuilt, while Shopify products can be exported as CSV into WooCommerce. Rankings can still shift after any migration.
A good plan covers core, theme and plugin updates, scheduled backups with restore tests, uptime and security monitoring, a bounded amount of small fixes and a monthly report. Compare plans by asking whether updates are tried on staging first, when a restore was last tested, and what needs a separate quote. What is included in our plans is set out in the proposal.
The aim of the handover is that you can run the site without us. The kit covers admin accounts in your name, hosting and domain details in accounts you control, theme and plugin files, plugin licences with renewal dates, analytics access, restore steps and a written site guide. Exactly what is handed over, and the ownership terms, are set out in the proposal and agreed in writing before work starts.
Yes, that is a design goal. We build with the block editor and reusable patterns, so editors change text, images, menus and products inside layouts that are hard to break. The handover includes training for your editors, in a format agreed in the proposal, and a written guide on editing pages, adding products and what to leave alone. Anything beyond editing, such as a new feature, is scoped separately.
Remote work does not change the duration much; scope does. As a typical range only, a focused brochure site is commonly 4 to 8 weeks, and a larger WooCommerce, multilingual or migration-heavy build takes longer. The biggest swing factor is usually how quickly content and feedback arrive. After discovery we give a timeline with milestone dates, and what drives it is set out in the proposal.
Ask for a written scope, access to staging while the site is built, and clarity on who owns the hosting, domain and admin accounts. Ask how updates are tested, which features are plugins and which are custom code, and what the handover includes. Be wary of ranking guarantees, nulled themes or plugins, and quotes with no scope. Talking to the people who will do the work, in a language you are comfortable with, matters more than the city.
It often is when you want to own your storefront, checkout and customer data. WooCommerce runs on 19.8% of WordPress sites (W3Techs, checked Oct 2026), so payment, shipping and invoicing connectors are easy to find. Marketplace sellers usually keep their listings and add their own store alongside, with stock kept consistent between them. If nobody on your side will own updates, a hosted platform can be calmer.
Choose by traffic, who will manage the server and where your visitors are. Shared hosting suits small brochure sites, managed WordPress hosting suits teams that want updates and caching handled, and a VPS or cloud server suits larger or custom builds with someone to administer it. WordPress.org recommends PHP 8.3 or newer, MariaDB 10.11 or MySQL 8.0 and HTTPS (checked Oct 2026). Ask where the servers and backups are located.
