Ongoing support and maintenance
We provide long term support for new PHP applications and existing websites, including bug fixes, performance improvements, security updates, and feature enhancements, even where we didn't build the original system.
Our PHP development solutions for new, existing, and legacy platforms
We support PHP applications at every stage, from new builds to existing projects and legacy modernisation. Whether you're starting from scratch, taking over a codebase, or upgrading an established system, we focus on secure, high performance PHP development with clean foundations. Easy to maintain, easy to extend.
New PHP builds
We build PHP applications from the ground up using modern PHP standards, making use of both established frameworks and bespoke development. Every build is designed with performance, security, and future growth in mind.
Whether you're launching a new product, developing an internal system, or rebuilding an existing application, we focus on creating clean, flexible foundations that support your business as it evolves.
Existing PHP projects
We regularly work with existing PHP websites and applications, built by other agencies. Our first priority is gaining a clear understanding of how your platform supports your business and its users.
This may involve stabilising the codebase, improving performance, addressing security issues, and putting clear development practices in place so your application is easier to maintain going forward.
Legacy PHP systems and modernisation
Many of our clients come to us with established PHP systems that continue to deliver value and would benefit from modern updates and improvements. We help enhance and evolve these platforms without unnecessary rewrites.
This can include upgrading PHP versions, refining code, introducing frameworks gradually, strengthening security, and integrating modern services. All delivered in a structured, low risk way.
The PHP frameworks we use
We work across a wide range of PHP frameworks and platforms, selecting the right tools based on your technical requirements, existing systems, and long-term goals.
The PHP frameworks we most commonly work with include:
This flexibility allows us to work comfortably with both modern applications and older PHP systems.
Our PHP development process
Our PHP development process follows a flexible, considered approach. We align our technical decisions with your goals, systems, and long-term needs, delivering secure, reliable solutions that support your business now and as it grows.
We work closely with you to understand your goals, systems, and outcomes, whether you're starting fresh, building on an existing platform, or improving an established system. We review current code where relevant and define the most suitable approach.
We design a clear, scalable application architecture using PHP and industry best practices. This stage covers data structures, integrations, security considerations, and laying a solid foundation for future development and change.
Our PHP developers build your application with clean, structured code. We do this using modern frameworks, custom platforms, or improving an existing codebase. We prioritise performance, security, and lasting maintainability throughout.
We thoroughly test your PHP application to ensure reliability, security, and performance across devices and use cases.
We manage a smooth and confident launch, handling configuration, deployment, and final optimisation.
After release, we remain available to support, enhance, and extend your PHP application as your needs evolve.
Every PHP project is different, so we tailor our process to your specific needs.
