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.

PHP development FAQ

Can you work inside our existing PHP codebase?
Yes. We start with a short codebase review, flag risks, then quote for the specific fixes or features you need.
Do you use Laravel or plain PHP?
Both — we match whatever your project already uses rather than forcing a framework change unless you want one.
Can you fix a production bug urgently?
Yes, urgent hourly support is available — message us on WhatsApp with the issue and we'll confirm availability quickly.
Do you handle WordPress sites too?
Yes — custom plugin work, theme fixes, and performance/security cleanup on WordPress.
