PHP modernisation

PHP agency for legacy applications.

We take over existing PHP applications, secure their behaviour with tests and move them to a supported PHP version. New systems we build with Laravel.

01 - Trade-offs

Why PHP - and why sometimes not.

Where modern PHP shines

  • Business applications: forms, permissions, workflows - productive in record time.
  • PHP 8 is fast and strictly typable - the old prejudices don't apply.
  • Huge, stable ecosystems: Laravel, Composer, packages maintained for decades.
  • Cheap to operate on any infrastructure.

Where it does not fit

  • Real-time streams and WebSockets: we reach for Node.js there.
  • Ancient PHP 5/7 without tests is a risk - we modernise that first.
  • Greenfield frontend: PHP rarely renders the UI alone today.

Exactly this trade-off is what we work through in the free first consultation - before a single line of code.

02 - The stack around it

One stack, one result.

Our PHP is usually Laravel: framework, queues, ORM and admin panels from one mould - plus Redis, MariaDB and clean deployments.

  1. 01 Language PHP 8
  2. 02 Framework Laravel
  3. 03 Packages Composer
  4. 04 Data MariaDBRedis
  5. 05 Operations CI/CD
03 - Migration

PHP legacy? Modernise it in a controlled way.

We lift PHP 5 and PHP 7 applications to current versions: tests and hardening first, then framework and structure - in running operation, without data loss.

05 - Frequent questions

PHP, briefly explained.

Is PHP still current?

Yes - modern PHP 8 with Laravel is among the most productive stacks for business software. Build quality decides, not the language logo.

Yes: audit, hardening, step-by-step modernisation. We tell you honestly whether the codebase is worth it - with numbers, not gut feeling.

Each has its element: PHP/Laravel for business logic and admin, Node for real-time and high concurrency. We combine what belongs together.

Yes. Consulting sits in our Berlin office and the engineering team in Budapest. 100% of development happens inside the EU.
