PHP Agency
We take ownership of the PHP surfaces that keep your site or tool alive: custom modules, integrations, and the fixes that never make the roadmap. Scope and exit criteria come first.
- Custom PHP with a written owner and success metric
- Legacy cleanup without a big-bang rewrite fantasy
- GDPR and hosting constraints listed in the brief
Backend ownership, not endless tickets
PHP debt grows when every hotfix lands without a decision log. We group the work into a scoped cycle: what changes, what stays, and who runs it after handover.
When the product needs a fuller application layer, we recommend Laravel early instead of bolting features onto brittle scripts. See Laravel.
Selected work with commercial stakes
Discovery and launch on a production stack
User interviews ran in parallel with the build so the site matched what buyers asked for.
Four-market stack under one TechOps lead
Fractional CTO across vegconomist markets plus Cultivated-X: updates, adops, performance, and incident response.
Relaunch study before vendor lock-in
Requirements, localisation, and vendor-scope advice for a multi-market manufacturer relaunch.
From brief to PHP you can hand over
Surfaces and outcomes
We name the scripts, modules, and metric that decide whether the cycle succeeded.
Risk and ownership map
Legacy hotspots, hosts, and who can deploy after launch get written down.
Engineering cycle
Build or repair against the scope. No silent rewrites outside the agreed surface.
Integrations and GDPR
Vendor hooks, personal data paths, and consent behaviour documented where they apply.
Launch and handover
Staging QA, deploy notes, and a short runbook for your team.
PHP work we take on
Custom modules
PHP features that sit beside WordPress, Laravel, or a custom host with clear ownership.
Legacy stabilisation
Stop the weekly outage: logging, error paths, and the smallest safe fixes first.
Integrations and APIs
Connect CRM, ERP, or payment vendors with retries and failure ownership written down.
Migration prep
Assess when to stay on PHP scripts versus move to Laravel or a CMS with a cutover plan.
When PHP is the right call
- You have custom PHP that needs a scoped fix or extension with a written outcome
- You want ownership of hosting, deploys, and GDPR in the same brief
- You need an honest call on keep, refactor, or migrate
- You only need visual design with no backend owner
- You expect unlimited hourly firefighting without a written cycle
- You already know you need a full Laravel product build (start there instead)
PHP agency questions
Do you still take on PHP without Laravel?
Yes. Many hosts and CMS extensions still run custom PHP. We scope the surface and stop when the job is done, or recommend Laravel when the domain grows.
PHP or Laravel?
PHP for contained scripts and CMS-adjacent work. Laravel when you need a maintainable application layer. Compare with our Laravel agency page.
Can you work inside WordPress PHP?
Yes, when the work is theme or plugin engineering with a written outcome. Pure theme painting without a performance or editor goal is usually a poor fit. See also WordPress.
How do you handle GDPR in PHP projects?
Consent, processors, and personal data paths belong in the brief. We document vendors and keep marketing tags behind consent where required.
