PHP Development: custom apps, upgrades and fixes for PHP sites
We build custom PHP applications and APIs, upgrade old PHP code to PHP 8, and fix and secure existing PHP sites, including Laravel, CodeIgniter, WordPress and OJS.
Why PHP?
PHP runs a large share of the web, including WordPress and OJS, and modern PHP 8 is fast, typed and well supported.
What we do
New PHP work, and help for PHP code you already have.
Custom PHP apps
Portals, booking systems, internal tools and APIs, usually on Laravel for structure and security.
See Laravel →PHP 8 upgrades
PHP 7 and older no longer get security updates. We upgrade your code to PHP 8 and fix what breaks.
Fixes and security
Errors, broken features, hacked sites and insecure code found and fixed, with the site hardened.
Legacy code rescue
Old PHP apps without a framework cleaned up, documented, or rebuilt in stages.
APIs and integrations
REST APIs, payment gateways, Zoho, WhatsApp and connections to your other systems.
Performance
Slow pages and queries found and fixed, with caching where it helps.

Questions
Our site runs on an old PHP version. Is that a problem?
Yes. PHP 7 and older no longer get security updates, and many hosts are removing them. We check your code, upgrade it to PHP 8 and test it, so you can switch safely.
Do you build in plain PHP or a framework?
For new apps we usually use Laravel, which gives structure, security and speed of development. We also maintain CodeIgniter, Symfony and plain PHP apps.
Can you fix an app another developer built?
Yes. We review the code first, tell you honestly what state it's in, then fix bugs, close security holes or plan a rebuild if that's cheaper long term.
Do you work on WordPress and OJS too?
Yes, both are PHP. See our WordPress services and OJS services.
How long does it take?
A simple PHP website typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, a medium-complexity web app 4 to 6 weeks, and complex applications 8 to 12 weeks or more. Upgrades depend on the size of the code. Your proposal has the timeline.
How much does it cost?
Every project gets a written proposal after a free call: scope, milestones and one fixed price, plus 18% GST. Payment is usually 40% to start and 60% on delivery; larger projects are split into milestones.
Do you provide hosting?
No. We don't sell hosting. Your app runs on hosting or a server in your name; we help you choose it, set it up and deploy for you.
Do you support the app after launch?
Yes: PHP upgrades, bug fixes, security updates and new features, by the hour or on a monthly plan.
