PHP Development

Custom PHP and Symfony applications built to last. From greenfield projects to incremental modernization of aging codebases.

Custom applications

Tailor-made PHP applications built to your requirements — web apps, background workers, scheduled jobs, and third-party integrations. We focus on clean architecture and long-term maintainability, not just getting it to run.

API development

RESTful and GraphQL APIs built for reliability and clear documentation. We write APIs that are easy to integrate, versioned properly, and paired with OpenAPI specs your frontend and mobile teams will appreciate.

Legacy modernization

Upgrade aging PHP codebases incrementally — no big-bang rewrites. We improve architecture, introduce test coverage, update dependencies, and migrate towards modern PHP standards at a pace that fits your business.

Code review & audits

An independent read of your existing codebase — security, performance, maintainability, and adherence to PHP best practices. We deliver a written report with prioritized findings, not just a list of complaints.

Testing & CI integration

PHPUnit, Pest, and integration testing setups. We wire tests into your CI pipeline so regressions are caught automatically and your team can ship with confidence.

Database design

Schema design, query optimization, and migrations for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB. We help you build a data layer that holds up when usage grows.

How we work

01

We get the full picture

We start with a technical kickoff: what already exists, what you need to build, and what the real constraints are. We scope carefully, ask the questions most agencies skip, and align on a concrete plan before writing a single line of code. No vague estimates, no wasted sprints at the start of an engagement.

02

We build it properly

We work iteratively with clean architecture, meaningful test coverage, and code your team can read and extend. Progress is visible throughout — you are not kept in the dark until delivery. We flag blockers early, communicate trade-offs plainly, and adapt when requirements change.

03

We hand it over with confidence

The finished project comes with full documentation, deployment pipelines, and a live walkthrough. You own everything we produce — source code, infrastructure configuration, and the knowledge to operate it. We remain available for follow-up questions and ongoing development after handover.
