What We Build with PHP
PHP powers a significant portion of the web and remains a strong choice for specific project types.
Custom Web Applications
Bespoke web platforms built with PHP and Laravel. Job management systems, booking platforms, client portals, and operational tools.
Legacy PHP Modernisation
Modernising existing PHP codebases — upgrading from legacy PHP versions, refactoring spaghetti code into clean Laravel architecture, adding proper testing and documentation.
REST API Development
Headless backends providing REST APIs consumed by React, Angular, or mobile frontends. Laravel's API resources, sanctum auth, and eloquent ORM make PHP APIs clean to build.
CMS and Portal Development
Custom portal systems, content management platforms, and multi-tenant SaaS products built on PHP/Laravel.
Why PHP for Your Project?
PHP gets unfairly maligned. Here's when it's still the right choice.
Mature, battle-tested stack
PHP has been powering production web applications since 1995. The language, the ecosystem, and the hosting infrastructure are exceptionally mature. Laravel in particular is one of the most well-designed web frameworks available in any language.
Wide hosting compatibility
PHP runs everywhere — shared hosting, VPS, cloud platforms, managed WordPress hosts. For clients with existing PHP hosting infrastructure, staying in the same ecosystem avoids unnecessary migration complexity.
Strong for existing PHP teams
If your organisation has internal PHP developers or an existing PHP codebase, adding new features or building companion applications in PHP keeps your team in their strongest technology.
Technologies We Pair with PHP
Modern PHP development means Laravel and a modern supporting stack. Here's what we combine it with.
Common Questions About PHP Development
Do you build with Laravel or plain PHP?
For new PHP projects, we build with Laravel — it's the industry standard PHP framework and brings structure, security, and a rich ecosystem to PHP development. For maintenance of existing plain PHP or other frameworks (CodeIgniter, Symfony, CakePHP), we work with whatever is already in place.
Can you modernise an existing PHP application?
Yes — modernising legacy PHP is one of our more common engagements. This typically involves upgrading PHP versions, migrating to Laravel, adding automated tests, refactoring towards clean architecture, and improving security. We assess the existing codebase before recommending an approach.
Is PHP still a good choice for new projects in 2026?
For the right use cases, yes. If your team has PHP expertise, your hosting infrastructure is PHP-based, or you're building a project type that Laravel handles exceptionally well (content platforms, portals, API backends), PHP remains a strong choice. For greenfield SaaS products where you're starting from scratch, we'd typically discuss whether Node.js or Python might be a better fit for your long-term team.
Do you do WordPress development?
We do custom WordPress development — custom themes, custom plugins, and headless WordPress setups. We don't do standard theme customisation or page-builder work. Our PHP/WordPress engagements are for clients who need genuine custom functionality built properly.
