Do I need a custom web app, or will off-the-shelf software do?
Off-the-shelf software is often the right answer. Here's how to tell when it isn't, and what a custom web app actually involves.
Bespoke web applications, portals and integrations built with Laravel, the PHP framework trusted by businesses of every size.
When an off-the-shelf tool doesn't quite fit, a custom Laravel application can do exactly what your business needs, and nothing it doesn't.
I build Laravel apps for things like booking systems, customer portals, internal tools and API integrations, with clean, tested code that's easy to build on later.
Secure areas where customers can log in, manage their account, view orders or download documents.
Replace messy spreadsheets with a tool built around how your team actually works.
Custom booking systems with availability, payments and automatic reminders.
Connect your systems together, or build an API for your app or partners to use.
Stripe-powered checkouts, recurring billing and invoicing.
Taking over, upgrading and adding features to Laravel projects built by others.
Good software should be dependable today and easy to change tomorrow.
Automated tests mean new features don't break the ones you already rely on.
Authentication, permissions and data handling done properly from day one.
A clear structure that makes it straightforward to add features as your needs change.
A few things people usually ask about Laravel projects.
Not always. If an existing tool does the job, I'll tell you. Custom makes sense when you're working around a tool's limits, paying for features you don't use, or juggling several systems.
Yes. I can upgrade older apps to the latest versions of Laravel and PHP, tidying up and adding tests along the way.
Usually, yes. If it has an API, I can connect it to your app, from accounting software and CRMs to email marketing and payment providers.
It depends on the size of the app. After an initial discovery chat, I'll break the project into stages with a clear timeline for each.
