How We Work
Our PHP Development Process
A structured, transparent process from discovery through deployment — with working software at every milestone.
01
Discovery & Technical Scoping
We map your business requirements to a concrete technical specification — architecture decisions, database design, API contracts, and integration points documented before a single line of code is written.
02
Architecture & Database Design
We design the data model, service layer, and API structure upfront — ensuring the foundation supports future scale without costly rewrites. Laravel's Eloquent ORM and service container architecture guide every decision.
03
Agile Development in Sprints
Two-week sprints with demo-ready milestones. Code reviews, automated tests, and staging deployments at every sprint — you see working software, not progress reports.
04
QA, Security Review & Deployment
Functional testing, PHPUnit/Pest test suites, OWASP security review, and performance profiling — followed by production deployment, server configuration, and a 30-day hypercare period.

Got Questions?
PHP Development — Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. PHP 8.x is a modern, high-performance language with significant improvements in type safety, performance (JIT compilation), and developer ergonomics. It powers over 75% of all websites including Facebook (via Hack), Wikipedia, and WordPress. With Laravel, PHP is fully competitive with Node.js, Python, and Ruby for web application development — with a massive ecosystem and 30 years of proven reliability in production.
Laravel is the most popular PHP framework — providing a rich ecosystem for building modern web applications. It includes Eloquent ORM, Blade templating, built-in authentication, queue management, job scheduling, real-time broadcasting, and an extensive package ecosystem via Composer. For most PHP web applications, API backends, and SaaS products, Laravel is our framework of choice because it enforces good architecture and dramatically accelerates development while maintaining code quality.
PHP development costs vary significantly based on complexity. A simple web application (5-10 features, basic API) typically costs $5,000-$15,000. A medium-complexity Laravel application with custom APIs, user roles, and integrations runs $15,000-$40,000. Enterprise-grade platforms with complex business logic, multiple integrations, and high scalability requirements range from $40,000-$150,000+. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free discovery session — no surprises, no hidden costs.
A simple custom PHP application typically takes 6-10 weeks. A medium-complexity Laravel project runs 10-18 weeks. Large enterprise PHP platforms can take 4-9 months depending on scope. We share a detailed project timeline in the proposal stage and maintain weekly progress updates throughout. Our sprint-based process means you see working software every 2 weeks — not just progress reports.
Yes — legacy PHP migration is one of our most common and impactful engagements. We typically encounter PHP 5.x or early 7.x codebases with mixed procedural and OOP code, no test coverage, and outdated dependencies. Our modernisation approach involves an architecture assessment, incremental refactoring to PHP 8 + Laravel/Symfony, introducing test coverage, and containerising the deployment — resulting in a maintainable, secure, and performant application.
Yes — 100% of our PHP development work is delivered remotely to clients across the US, Canada, and Australia. We have been working internationally since 2008. We schedule meetings in your time zone, use Slack, Notion, and Loom for communication, and maintain full transparency with weekly sprint demos and shared project dashboards. Our 97% client retention rate reflects the quality of our remote delivery model.
Yes — automated testing is part of our standard development process. For Laravel projects, we write PHPUnit and Pest tests covering unit tests for business logic, feature tests for API endpoints, and integration tests for external service interactions. We aim for meaningful test coverage on critical paths rather than arbitrary percentage targets. Test coverage is handed over as part of the project, enabling your team to extend the application confidently.
Our primary framework is Laravel, which we use for the majority of new PHP projects. We also work extensively with Symfony (particularly for enterprise applications and API Platform), CodeIgniter (for simpler projects and legacy modernisation), Yii2 (for existing Yii applications), and CakePHP. For CMS-based projects, we have deep expertise in WordPress (including headless), Drupal, and Joomla. We always recommend the framework best suited to your specific project requirements and team.
