On the Gold Coast
Keeping PHP systems safe and supportable
Many Gold Coast businesses run a PHP system written years ago, such as a booking tool, a portal or a custom website. A PHP development company on the Gold Coast tests it, updates the framework and moves it to a supported version, so the business can rely on it for years more.
You do not need us in the same city to get good work. Gold Coast clients receive the same planning, reporting and handover as anyone else, with video meetings and shared files doing the job an office visit once did.
- Booking systems upgraded safely
- Card data kept off servers
- Rollback planned
Common situations
What the Gold Coast clients usually ask us to solve
Booking and property systems
Booking and property systems built on PHP years ago still run many businesses. We stabilise, upgrade and secure them without interrupting trade.
Custom portals
Custom portals built with Laravel give customers and staff secure access to records, bookings and documents.
Integrations
Integrations between systems often run on PHP. We build and maintain them with logging and error handling.

Request your proposal →Older code needs more careful upgrading and more testing along the way.
Larger systems take longer to review before we can plan safe changes.
Few automated tests mean more protection work before anything else can change.
Different frameworks have different upgrade paths, which affects how we plan.
Old servers can block newer PHP versions, so hosting may need attention.
