Your Laravel app is several versions behind.
Upgrade step by step.
One version at a time, fixing what breaks, with the app running throughout.
Laravel development
Laravel was our first framework. We still know our way around it.
We built with Laravel in our early years before moving to Node.js and Angular. Today we take on existing Laravel apps: keeping them running, upgrading them and deciding with you whether to stay on Laravel or move on.
How we use Laravel
We use Laravel to maintain and upgrade existing apps. New products go on our main stack.
- Daily
- Regularly
- When it fits
Where it works well
- Existing Laravel apps that need work
- Content-heavy web apps with a Vue front end
- Teams that already know PHP
Where it breaks down
- Several major versions behind with no tests, where upgrades get risky
- Real-time features that suit Node.js better
What we use instead
- Node.js Our main backend.
- Staged upgradeMoving up one Laravel version at a time.
You’re probably here because…
What people usually need when they search for Laravel help.
Your Laravel developer has moved on.
We read it first.
We review the code and tell you honestly what it needs.
You want to know if it’s time to move off Laravel.
An honest answer.
Often it isn’t. We’ll say when a move pays for itself.
What we build with Laravel
Keeping Laravel apps healthy.

How a build runs
The same steps on every project. You approve designs before we write code.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What it costs
Real ranges from our own projects. Fixed quote for a build, or a monthly rate for a developer.
Smallest project we take$5,000A tightly scoped build with one core workflow.
Typical project$10,000–$30,000Several user roles, integrations and reporting.
Dedicated engineer$2,500/monthA full-time engineer working on your product.
Included as standard
- UI/UX design, approved before any code
- Two-factor login and OWASP Top 10 security practices
- Deployment to production
- Git repositories and written documentation
- Two months of free bug fixes after launch
Not included
- Payment gateways and other premium integrations, quoted separately
- Graphic design, video and animation
- Features added mid-build, logged as extra hours
After the free two months, maintenance is $700 a month. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can have a dedicated engineer from $2,500 a month.
Are we the right team for this?
We’re a good fit if
- You run an existing Laravel app
- It needs upgrading or a new maintainer
- You want an honest view on staying or moving
- You want to own the code
We’re probably not if
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- The budget is under $5,000
CLIENT RESULTS

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers about Laravel, cost and how we work.
Ask us something elseShould we rewrite our Laravel app in something else?
Usually not. A well-maintained Laravel app can serve for years. We recommend moving only when a clear need, like real-time features or hiring, makes it pay for itself.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, maintenance is $700 a month. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can have a dedicated engineer from $2,500 a month.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
