PHP supports a range of databases, including MySQL, Oracle, and MS Access, which allows developers to build flexible, data-driven applications

PHP development frameworks we use

LaravelOpen-source PHP-based framework for building web applications. With expressive and elegant syntax, Laravel simplifies a range of development tasks.

SymfonyPHP framework and a set of reusable PHP components for web and console apps. Symfony is known for its modular structure, adaptability, stability, and extensive integration capabilities.

CodeIgniterOpen-source framework used in dynamic PHP website development. CodeIgniter is highly customizable, has a user-friendly interface, and boasts advanced debugging features.

CakePHPFramework based on the MVC architectural pattern. Has a vast set of security features, supports the separation of business logic, and offers full control over database settings.

YiiObject-oriented, component-based MVC PHP web development framework. Reduces development time and costs, enables fast performance, and supports robust security features.

FAQ

What kind of applications can you build using PHP?

PHP is a versatile scripting language that is primarily used for web application development. It is a great choice for content management systems, e-commerce platforms, web portals, news websites, blogs, APIs, real-time applications (online chats, collaborative tools), task automation software, and other solutions.

In some cases, it can be used for mobile app development. While you can’t build a full-fledged mobile application using PHP only, it can be used for the backend development, integration with third-party services, and backend management.

PHP’s simple syntax, open-source nature, and cross-platform compatibility make it one of the most popular programming languages for web development. In fact, PHP takes 11th place in the Statista’s list of most used programming languages. That means you won’t face any difficulty finding a PHP website development company for your project.

How long does it take to develop a PHP solution?

The cost of PHP development depends on several factors:

Location of the custom PHP web development company you partner with, its team expertise and development rates
Complexity of your project (number of features you require, technology stack used, project scope)
Design requirements (custom visuals or template-based design)
Proprietary and third-party integrations
Customization and scalability of your custom PHP application development solution, and more

Considering how many factors come into play and influence the cost of PHP app development services, we can’t say how much you need to invest in your project without taking a look at it first. So if you would like to receive an estimate, please contact us via the website form and share some details in the message box. We will get back to you within one business day to organize a scoping call.

How do I find the right PHP development company for my project?

To find the right PHP software development company for your project, consider these factors:

Company location. The company’s location directly impacts development costs, communication, and time zone alignment. Obviously, a PHP development company in the USA will charge more than one located, say, in Eastern Europe. But, outsourcing your project to a PHP developer company in a country with the cheapest labor costs is not always the best strategy, however tempting it might be.
Case studies. Explore the company’s finished PHP development projects. Ideally, it should have experience in developing solutions similar to the one you want to create. Look for real results, client feedback, and any challenges they’ve tackled—it’ll give you a clearer picture of what to expect.
Reviews. Check reviews on Clutch, Capterra, GoodFirms, and other specialized platforms. This will give you an idea of the company’s reputation and customer satisfaction.
Expertise and skillset. Ensure the company has the technical expertise and experience in the specific technologies required for your project (AI, computer vision, LLM, etc.). Check their tech stack and past projects to see if they’ve worked with similar tools before.

This should help you find the best PHP development company.

Do you provide support and maintenance services for PHP applications?

Sure thing! We provide post-launch maintenance and support as part of our PHP web application development services. In specific cases, we may provide it as a separate service, even if your product was developed by a third-party PHP website development service company or lacks technical documentation.

Please note that we currently deliver L2 and L3 application support services only. As for the maintenance, our team can assist you with application upgrades, security management, performance management, and compliance management. We utilize Grafana, Sentry, New Relic, and other monitoring & observability solutions to maintain your PHP application in excellent condition and ensure smooth performance with a seamless user experience Our support and maintenance services are aimed at helping you minimize expensive downtimes and disruptions to your business operations. Focus on your core business activities while we take care of the rest!
