WHAT THEY BUILD

What our php developers ship every quarter

Production-grade work - not portfolio demos. Each engagement is matched to your real roadmap.

Laravel applications

REST and GraphQL APIs, admin panels, SaaS back-ends, and queue-driven systems on Laravel 10+ with proper service-layer architecture.

Symfony services

Enterprise-grade Symfony services for teams that need DDD, message buses, and long-term maintainability.

Legacy PHP modernisation

Incremental rewrites of CodeIgniter, CakePHP, and bespoke PHP 5/7 codebases - without big-bang migrations or downtime.

Custom WordPress + WooCommerce

Custom plugins, theme architecture, and WooCommerce extensions for sites that have outgrown page-builder templates.

Laravel is our default for new PHP services because it has the strongest ecosystem and hiring pool for SaaS, admin panels, and APIs. For enterprise workloads with DDD, message buses, and long-term maintainability we use Symfony. We are also comfortable maintaining or modernising CodeIgniter, CakePHP, and bespoke PHP 5/7 codebases without judgment.
Yes. Incremental modernisation - strangler-fig migrations, gradual Laravel or Symfony adoption, test harnesses around legacy code, and progressive TypeScript on the frontend - is one of our most common PHP engagements. Big-bang rewrites usually fail; we ship working code while the legacy system stays alive, and switch traffic only when the new path is proven.
Yes. Most of our PHP engineers ship custom WordPress plugins, theme architecture, and WooCommerce extensions (custom checkouts, subscription billing, India-aware payments). For pure WordPress work we usually place a WordPress-first engineer; for hybrid Laravel + WordPress stacks, a PHP generalist fits cleanly.
PHPUnit or Pest for unit and feature tests, Laravel Pint or PHP CS Fixer for code style, GitHub Actions for CI, and Docker for parity between dev, staging, and production. Test coverage and CI pipelines are part of the standard delivery, not extras you negotiate for. Pull requests are reviewed by a senior engineer before merge.
Yes. Laravel Horizon for queue dashboards, Redis-backed queues, database transactions and pessimistic locks for concurrency, query optimisation, and read replicas where the workload demands. We load-test before launch and tune based on real traffic, not just benchmark assumptions.
4–6 hours of overlap with US (PT/ET), UK, EU, or APAC time zones, confirmed before placement. Minimum engagement is one month for part-time and three months for full-time and squads, with rolling renewal and two weeks' notice to scale up, down, or across tiers.
