PHP development for fast, secure web applications
PHP runs a large part of the web, from WordPress sites to complex business systems. Our PHP development team builds with modern Laravel and Symfony, and upgrades older PHP code so it's secure, fast and easier to maintain.

What is PHP development?
PHP development is building websites and web applications with PHP, a server-side programming language. Modern PHP development uses frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony, current PHP versions and automated testing to create secure, maintainable web apps, APIs and content systems.

Compare
Laravel vs plain PHP
For new projects, a framework almost always pays off.
| Compare | Laravel | Plain PHP |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Clear, standard project structure | Depends on each developer |
| Security | Built-in protection for common attacks | Must be written by hand |
| Development pace | Quick, with many built-in tools | Slower for larger apps |
| Best for | Most new web applications | Small scripts and legacy systems |
