PHP
General-purpose server-side scripting language widely used for web development.
How we use PHP
PHP is a server-side programming language designed for the web. It runs WordPress, Magento, Laravel and a large share of websites worldwide. Modern PHP 8 versions are fast, strongly typed where you want them, and supported by mature frameworks and a huge ecosystem of libraries.
How we use PHP
- Building web applications and APIs with Laravel and modern PHP 8 features.
- Developing custom WordPress themes and plugins and Magento modules.
- Upgrading legacy PHP applications to supported versions safely, with tests.
- Reviewing and securing existing PHP code against common vulnerabilities.
When PHP is the right choice
PHP is an excellent choice for business websites, e-commerce and web applications because hosting is affordable and widely available, and skilled developers are easy to find for long-term maintenance. For real-time or event-driven services we sometimes pair it with Node.js.

Frequently asked questions
Is PHP still a good choice for new projects?
Yes. Modern PHP is fast and well maintained, frameworks such as Laravel are productive and secure, and hosting and developers are widely available, which keeps long-term costs reasonable.
Can you upgrade an old PHP website?
Yes. We audit the code, fix incompatibilities, update libraries and test thoroughly on staging before moving the site to a supported PHP version, so security updates keep flowing.
