How do you create WordPress websites for your clients?
If I have to use WordPress for something, I'll build it as a standard PHP project, requiring WordPress and any themes/plugins as a Composer dependencies from johnpbloch/wordpress and WordPress Packagist (more info here). If I need to do any significant templating, I like to use Timber.

Use it together with https://wpackagist.org/ and you can update all plugins/themes by latest or by version number.

How to use Git for Wordpress sites?
Another option you can look at is Bedrock by Roots - that is sets WP as an app with composer already set up. It allows you to install WP plugins (from official WP repo) via composer (WP Packagist). The structure is set up to allow for git workflow. Also helpful if you want to make use of a bunch of composer packages on your site.

How should I update plugins in a Git-based workflow with Staging and Production environments?
Side question: I know that the WordPress ecosystem has been moving toward better support for Composer – e.g., with WPackagist. But wouldn't plugins installed/updated via Composer run into the same issue?
