I never just produce a stock templated Wordpress site and put a credit on it; I'd understand that at that point the majority of the work to produce the site has been done by the WP people. If you buy a Ford car, then they've provided you the service of running their manufacturing plants in the right order and they've produced you a car. They stick their name front and center on the thing.
When you produce, from scratch - or html5 bp, as applicable, a site for which you design every visual element (except stock photography and social icons, and maybe client logo (but sometimes that too)), and provide bespoke code (except jquery etc), then that's a tangible creation - how is it different from a Ford Focus ? Which itself might have parts in it that were not designed or manufactured by Ford.
I couldn't agree more precisely with what Gramme says here, in terms of how the credit and the client relationship are sympatico.
