Laravel development for systems that have to keep working.

Tell us what you're building Common questions

Sound familiar?

Common Laravel problems we fix.

  • We're stuck on an unsupported Laravel version.

  • It's slow and nobody knows why.

  • The original developer has gone and nothing is documented.

  • We need Laravel and Vue working properly together.

How it works

How a Laravel upgrade runs.

  1. 01

    Audit

    Versions, dependencies, test coverage and risk, written up in plain English.

  2. 02

    Safety net

    Automated tests around the journeys that matter most before anything changes.

  3. 03

    Upgrade in steps

    One major version at a time, released as we go, never one big switch-over.

  4. 04

    Modernise

    Refactor the worst areas once they're safe to change.

What we do with Laravel.

From new builds to systems that have been running for a decade.

  • New applications and APIs
  • Version upgrades and PHP 8 migration
  • Performance: queries, caching, queues
  • Tests for untested code
  • Vue or React front ends
  • Deployment and CI/CD

Questions

What people usually ask.

Which Laravel versions do you work with?

Old and new. Upgrading from long-unsupported versions is common work.

Can you take over an existing Laravel project?

Yes. We start with an audit so you know exactly what you've got before any changes are made.

What front ends do you pair with Laravel?

Blade, or a Vue or React front end, depending on what suits the product and your team.

Which databases?

MySQL and NoSQL, chosen to suit the data rather than out of habit.
