Overview

What Is PHP?

PHP is an open-source server-side language and one of the most widely used on the web. It powers WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento and Laravel, which is why so many business websites and online stores run on it. Modern PHP with a good framework is fast, well supported and easy to hire for.

Why PHP

Why businesses still choose PHP.

Runs a Large Share of the Web

WordPress, WooCommerce and many other platforms are built on PHP, so skills and hosting are easy to find.

Mature Frameworks

Frameworks such as Laravel give structure, security features and faster development for custom applications.

Wide Hosting Support

Almost every hosting provider supports PHP, which keeps running costs and migration options flexible.

Large Developer Community

A big community means documentation, packages and experienced developers for the long term.

  • Custom business applications and customer portals
  • Applications built on Laravel

  • API and payment gateway integrations

Business Needs

PHP for different kinds of work.

Custom Software

Business Applications

Bespoke systems for bookings, orders, licences or internal workflows.

Upgrades

Legacy PHP Modernization

Moving old code to supported PHP versions, with tests and a rollback plan.

Extensions

Plugins & Integrations

Plugins and connectors for WordPress, WooCommerce and third-party services.

Supported Versions

Keeping PHP secure and supported.

Each PHP branch has a published support window, and versions that reach the end of security support stop receiving regular fixes. We build on supported versions and help move older sites forward, as we explain in our guide to the October 2026 PHP vulnerability. Regular updates are part of our website maintenance service.

Our Approach

Our PHP development approach.

  1. Discover

    We review your existing code, hosting and PHP version, and what the project needs to do.

  2. Plan

    We agree the architecture, framework choice and upgrade or build steps.

  3. Build

    We develop and test in stages, using version control and code review.

  4. Launch & Support

    We deploy, verify on the live server and keep the application patched.

Yes. Modern PHP is fast and well supported, and it runs WordPress, WooCommerce and Laravel. It remains a practical choice for content sites, stores and custom business applications.

A version that still receives security fixes, ideally one your WordPress, WooCommerce and plugins officially support. We check your current version and plan the move to a supported one.

Yes. We test your code on a staging copy against a newer PHP version, fix compatibility problems and move the live site with a rollback plan.

For most new custom applications we recommend Laravel, because the framework adds structure and security features. Plain PHP can suit small, focused scripts.

Yes. WordPress plugins and themes are written in PHP, and we build custom ones for features a standard plugin does not cover.
