What our PHP development covers
PHP powers everything from content sites to business applications. These are the areas we work in.
PHP version upgrades
How do you upgrade an old PHP application? We inventory dependencies, use static analysis to find deprecated code, add tests around critical paths and upgrade to a supported PHP 8 release in stages. PHP 8.1 reached end of life at the end of 2025.
Our PHP consulting team can audit the code first.
–Dependency inventory
–Static analysis
–Test safety net
–Staged rollout
Maintenance and support
Who looks after the application after launch? Our support plans cover security patches, framework and PHP updates, monitoring, bug fixes and small enhancements, so the application stays healthy.
–Security patches
–Framework updates
–Monitoring and backups

Laravel applications
Why Laravel for business applications? Laravel provides routing, an ORM, queues, scheduling and authentication out of the box, so we can focus on your business logic and deliver features quickly with readable code.
–Eloquent ORM
–Queues and scheduled jobs
–Authentication and roles
–Automated tests
