PHP Development

Custom PHP development: web applications, APIs and integrations on modern PHP 8.x. Laravel, Symfony or plain PHP — new builds and legacy rescue.

Modern PHP architecture illustration — typed code, web server, cache and database

PHP powers roughly three quarters of server-rendered websites — and modern PHP 8.3 is a different language than the one its reputation comes from: strict types, enums, readonly classes, a JIT compiler and a mature package ecosystem. It is the language we know best and the one most of our production systems run on.

What we build in PHP

  • Custom web applications and APIs on Laravel and Symfony.
  • CMS-driven websites, admin panels and internal tools — including this site.
  • E-commerce backends and integrations with payment, CRM and shipping systems.
  • Maintenance and modernization of existing PHP applications, from PHP 5.x-era codebases upward.

The stack underneath

PHP production stack: Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis

A typical deployment: Nginx terminating TLS, PHP-FPM 8.3 with OPcache, MySQL for storage, Redis for cache and queues. Nothing exotic — a stack that any competent team can operate, which is exactly the point.

Modern PHP in practice

enum PostStatus: string
{
    case Draft     = 'draft';
    case Scheduled = 'scheduled';
    case Published = 'published';
}

final readonly class ChannelConfig
{
    public function __construct(
        public string $provider,
        public array $credentials,
        public ?int $rateLimit = null,
    ) {}
}

Typed, immutable and boring on purpose — production PHP in 2025 has little in common with the scripts of the 2000s.

We back the code with PHPUnit tests, Larastan static analysis and Pint formatting. If your PHP application is slow, fragile or stuck on an old version, we can audit it and plan a path forward.
