The shields are stacked on top of the WeMos d1 mini. To facilitate the development and mounting, there is also a double base
and a triple base
There is also a Pro version of the d1 mini. Even finer, it has an IPEX connector to connect an external WiFi antenna to increase the transmission / reception range. It also has 16MB of flash memory instead of 4MB for the standard version. Only memory, the entire flash memory is not yet supported by the Espressive SDK and the Arduino IDE. All shields developed for the d1 mini are compatible with the Pro version. You can find the WeMos d1 min Pro at the best price online.
