PHP and Laravel development for robust web applications
Laravel web apps, APIs and admin panels, plus upgrades and rescue work for older PHP codebases.
What does our PHP & Laravel Development service include?
Our PHP and Laravel development service builds custom web applications, REST APIs, admin panels and SaaS back ends with Laravel, and upgrades or maintains legacy PHP applications, including moves to current PHP versions and Laravel releases.
Laravel is a mature PHP framework with authentication, queues, scheduling and testing built in, which makes it a reliable base for business applications and APIs.
We build new Laravel applications and take over existing PHP projects: upgrading old versions, fixing security issues, adding tests and getting them into a state where new features are safe to ship.

PHP & Laravel questions
Ask us anything about your project. A founder replies personally.
Ask a questionWhy use Laravel for a web application?
Laravel gives a PHP application a lot out of the box: authentication, queues, scheduling, email, an ORM and a strong testing setup, so we spend time on your features rather than plumbing. It runs on affordable hosting, has a large community and is easy to hire for, which keeps long-term costs down.
Can you upgrade an old Laravel or PHP application?
Yes. We upgrade step by step through supported Laravel and PHP versions, fix breaking changes, replace abandoned packages and add tests around critical flows first, so the upgrade is safe. Staying on unsupported versions means missing security fixes, so we also plan how to keep the app current afterwards.
How much does a Laravel project cost?
It depends on the features and user roles, the data model, admin panel needs, integrations and payments, and how much legacy code we inherit. A REST API for a mobile app is a different size from a full SaaS platform. We quote a fixed price per phase after a scoping call and a look at any existing code.
Do you build APIs for mobile apps and front ends?
Yes. We build secure REST APIs with token authentication, versioning, rate limiting, validation and documentation, used by mobile apps, React or Next.js front ends and partner systems. We write automated tests for each endpoint, so changes to the API do not break the apps that depend on it.
Can you take over our PHP project?
Yes. We start with a code audit covering structure, dependencies, security, tests and hosting, then document what we find and propose a plan with urgent fixes first. If the project uses an old framework or plain PHP, we can stabilize it and plan a gradual move to modern Laravel.
Do you write automated tests?
Yes. We add feature and unit tests for the critical flows, such as sign-up, payments and permissions, and run them in a CI pipeline on every change. Tests make upgrades and new features safer and cheaper, because problems show up before your users find them.
