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.

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?

Best Excel creation lib for PHP
We were testing PHP Spreadsheet and Spout (https://github.com/box/spout). We chose Spout because of its low memory footprint. It is using streams so it is much lighter than PHP Spreadsheet, although it is missing quite a bit of features that PHP Spreadsheet has.

What's the best practice in modifying/inserting values in specific cells of an existing excel file?
If you don't have a lot of formatting requirements beyond just the placement of the data in the correct fields, I really enjoy Box/Spout (https://opensource.box.com/spout/), and they have a way to install it without composer.
