PHP

A mature, widely deployed server-side language that still powers a large share of the web, including WordPress.

Discuss your project

PHP's massive install base means most hosting environments and CMS platforms (WordPress in particular) are built on it. We work in PHP primarily for WordPress and Laravel projects, and when maintaining or extending an existing PHP application for a client.

Modern PHP (8.x) is a genuinely fast, well-typed language — a long way from its reputation a decade ago — and remains a pragmatic choice for content-driven sites and established web platforms.
