Laravel & PHP Development

Laravel is our first choice in PHP for business apps: queues, auth, mail, scheduling and a capable ORM come built in, so your budget goes to features instead of plumbing. We build Laravel APIs for React and mobile frontends, full-stack apps with Livewire or Inertia.js, and admin panels your staff can run the business from. We also take over older PHP codebases and bring them up to current PHP and Laravel versions step by step.

(01)Scope

What’s included.

Laravel apps and APIs, and a way out of legacy PHP

  • 01

    Laravel APIs

    REST APIs with Sanctum authentication, API resources and rate limiting, ready for React, Vue or mobile clients.

  • 02

    Livewire or Inertia

    Livewire for server-driven interfaces with little JavaScript, or Inertia.js for React or Vue pages without a separate API.

  • 03

    Admin panels

    Back offices built with Filament or Nova, with roles, reports, exports and audit history.

  • 04

    Queues and scheduling

    Emails, imports, invoices and reports processed in Redis-backed queues and monitored with Horizon.

  • 05

    Legacy PHP modernization

    PHP 5 and 7 apps and home-grown frameworks moved to current PHP and Laravel in stages, with tests added first.

  • 06

    WooCommerce bridges

    Laravel services that sync orders, stock and customers with WooCommerce and other stores.

(02)Use cases

What we build with it.

  • Marketplaces

    Deals, listings and vendor platforms such as Merchant Deals, which pairs a React frontend with a Laravel backend and WooCommerce.

  • Internal systems

    CRMs, quoting, scheduling and inventory systems with role-based access and reporting.

  • Legacy PHP rescue

    Business-critical PHP apps nobody wants to touch, stabilized, upgraded and finally documented.

(03)Outcomes

What you get.

  • Business features ship sooner
  • Off unsupported PHP versions
  • An admin panel your staff can run
  • Affordable, widely available hosting
  • A large pool of PHP talent

Every project includes

  • A dedicated project manager and one point of contact

(04)Process

How the project runs.

Clear milestones, weekly demos and a daily written update, so there are no surprises at the end.

  1. 01

    Code and server audit

    For existing apps, we check the PHP version, dependencies, security issues and tests, then propose an order of work.

  2. 02

    Stack decision

    API plus SPA, Livewire or Inertia.js, chosen by who will maintain the app and how interactive it needs to be.

  3. 03

    Build in sprints

    Features delivered weekly on a staging link, with migrations, seeders and feature tests in every pull request.

  4. 04

    Deploy and support

    Zero-downtime deploys, queue workers, scheduled tasks and backups configured, then 30 days of free support.

(05)Technology

Tools we use.

We choose proven tools for each project and explain every choice. No lock-in: you own the code, the accounts and the designs.

01How is Laravel development priced?

Laravel developers are available by the hour or full-time, quoted to your needs. A Laravel API, an integration or a full web app MVP gets a fixed, itemized quote after a free 30-minute call, based on its features, integrations and admin needs. Legacy upgrades are quoted after an audit, because the effort depends on how far behind the code is.

02Livewire or Inertia.js: which should we use?

Livewire keeps most logic in PHP and Blade, which suits back-office tools and teams with mainly PHP skills. Inertia.js lets you write pages in React or Vue while Laravel still handles routing and controllers, which suits richer interfaces. If you also need a mobile app, a separate API with Sanctum is usually the better long-term choice.

03Can you upgrade our old PHP application?

Yes. We first add tests around the most important flows, then upgrade PHP and dependencies in steps, using tools such as Rector to automate routine changes. For custom or framework-free code, we move features into Laravel gradually, running old and new side by side behind the same domain until the old code can be switched off.

04Is Laravel still a good choice for a new product?

Yes, for most business apps, marketplaces and SaaS products. Laravel ships a major release every year and has first-party packages for billing, queues, auth and, with Reverb, WebSockets. PHP hosting is also widely available and affordable, which keeps running costs down.

05How do you handle subscriptions and payments in Laravel?

For subscriptions we usually use Laravel Cashier with Stripe, which covers plans, trials, invoices and the Stripe customer billing portal. For one-off payments, marketplaces or other gateways, we integrate the provider’s API directly and verify every webhook.
