WCUS 2026

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to fill this out. Answer as much or as little as you want.

I’m preparing a WordCamp US talk about block themes, agency workflows, and AI-assisted site building. I’m looking for practical experience from people who build and maintain WordPress sites for clients—including teams that use block themes, teams that use a hybrid approach, and teams that evaluated block themes and chose something else.

This survey should take about 8–10 minutes. Responses may be anonymously summarized or paraphrased in the presentation, unless you tell me otherwise.

What kinds of WordPress projects do you work on (check all that apply)?(required)

What are the main benefits you have seen from using blocks or block themes in client work?

What are the main pain points your team has experienced adopted full block themes?

Think about your most recent block-theme project. Where did the first version of each design usually get created?

Does your team usually move a template or style change made in the Site Editor into some sort of version control? If so, how?

Who is allowed to change templates, global styles, or shared patterns after launch?

Do you continue to use local or staging environments to work on content/design after you’ve launched a site?

Has your team built custom, reusable tools to aid the development and site management process? Or use any specific block plugins?

How is your team currently using AI in WordPress design or development? Do you use any WordPress-specific tools like MCPs or Studio Code? Are you using other tools/agents to help manage content, design, or blocks?

In your opinion, what would be the single, most impactful change that would make block themes more popular for developers?

Yes, I’d be interested in jumping on a short call or Slack chat to discuss more.

Thank you for your response. ✨
