Home / Services / PHP Development
PHP development for backends that need to just work.
Hire a freelance PHP developer for a new backend, an existing codebase that needs fixing, or a legacy system that needs modernizing. Core PHP, Laravel, or a custom framework — we work with what your project already has.
Why hire a PHP developer here
- Comfortable working inside existing, sometimes undocumented PHP codebases
- Direct communication — no account manager between you and the developer
- Hourly, fixed-price, or milestone billing agreed after scope review
- Full code ownership transferred on final payment
What we build and fix in PHP
Custom backends & APIs
REST APIs, internal tools, and backend logic built in core PHP or a framework of your choice.
Legacy modernization
Upgrading old PHP 5/7 codebases to PHP 8, refactoring, and adding test coverage safely.
Performance & bug fixes
Diagnosing slow queries, memory issues, and fixing production bugs under time pressure.
WordPress & CMS work
Custom plugins, theme development, and WordPress performance and security hardening.
How engagement works
For bug fixes and ongoing support, hourly billing with a short daily note works well. For new backend builds, we scope the work first and quote fixed-price or milestone terms. Either way, you get direct access to the developer doing the work and full source code on completion.
