01Why US organisations hire a remote WordPress team
Most US buyers who come to us already know what they want from WordPress: a site their marketing team can edit, a custom theme rather than a bloated template, and integrations that do not break at every update. They want the people who write the code to be the people on the calls. Because we only work in WordPress and WooCommerce, our developers see the same problems repeatedly and solve them properly, in custom themes and plugins you own outright. You keep the hosting account, the domain and the code, so you are never locked into us.
02Working hours that overlap with the US day
Lagos sits on West Africa Time all year, so it is six hours ahead of New York in winter and five hours ahead once US clocks move forward in March. In practice our afternoon is your morning on the East Coast, which gives a shared window for calls, reviews and launches. West Coast clients have a smaller overlap, so we schedule calls early in your day and use written updates for the rest. Much of the build happens while you are offline, and you wake up to progress on a staging site.
03Accessibility designed in, not bolted on
The Department of Justice says the ADA applies to the goods and services businesses open to the public offer online, and it points to WCAG as the practical guide. Public bodies face firm WCAG 2.1 AA deadlines under Title II. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as standard: real headings, labelled forms, keyboard navigation, sufficient contrast, captions and alt text. We test with automated tools and by hand. We do not give legal advice or certify compliance, but your site will not be the weak point.
04Privacy rules that change by state
There is no single federal privacy law in the United States. California's CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, is the one most sites meet first: covered businesses that sell or share personal information need a visible opt-out link and must respect browser signals such as Global Privacy Control. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Texas, among others, have their own laws. We build consent tools, cookie controls and privacy pages that can follow the rules your counsel says apply, and we keep tracking scripts behind consent where it is required.
05Payments and checkout for American buyers
US customers expect to pay by card, wallet or PayPal without leaving the page. On WordPress we usually connect Stripe, which also supports ACH bank debits for larger or recurring payments, PayPal Checkout with Venmo and Pay Later, or WooPayments managed from the WooCommerce dashboard. For BFI School we built checkout that handles four currencies, so a USD-first store with optional international pricing is familiar ground. Sales tax rules differ by state, and we configure WooCommerce to match the advice of your accountant.
06What it costs and how we start
Every engagement is priced in US dollars and scoped in writing before work begins. Strategy and design projects start from $1,500, development projects from $5,000, migrations from $1,000 and managed services from $2,000 per year. A first call covers your goals, your current site and the people who will run it. We then send a written proposal with phases, deliverables and what is out of scope, and invoice against those milestones.
