Service
PHP and Laravel development
New applications on Laravel and Symfony, plus modernisation and hardening of existing PHP systems, including upgrades from legacy versions.
PHP runs a significant share of the business applications already in production, and most trouble comes not from the language but from code written without tests and left without updates. We build new applications on Laravel and Symfony, and we take over inherited PHP systems.
New projects
For new applications we use Laravel 11 or Symfony 7, with modular architecture, queues for asynchronous processing, PHPUnit or Pest tests and static analysis through PHPStan. We ship with Docker, a CI pipeline and versioned database migrations.
Taking over an existing system
Assessment: we read the code, measure test coverage and list the security risks.
Stabilisation: we fix what blocks operations and add monitoring.
Upgrade: we move to a supported PHP version, with tests that confirm behaviour.
Modernisation: we refactor the modules that change often, gradually, not the whole codebase at once.
WordPress and content sites
When the project is a content site with editorial requirements, WordPress remains a reasonable choice. We build custom themes without heavy page builders, plus bespoke plugins and a performance and security configuration.
Why the PHP version matters
PHP versions past their security support window stay exposed to known vulnerabilities, and hosting providers withdraw them over time. Upgrading to a supported version is usually the cheapest security measure available.
