PHP rarely ships alone. Pair it with our other services for an end-to-end build, launch, and growth engine.
Yes. PHP 8.3 powers roughly 75% of the web, runs WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Shopify backend tools, Slack, Facebook surfaces, and thousands of SaaS platforms. With strict types, JIT, Swoole async, and first-class AI SDKs, PHP is faster and safer than ever - and cheaper to host than any other major web stack.
Yes. We ship AI features in PHP every week: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, and Mistral SDKs, RAG over pgvector and Pinecone, MCP servers in PHP, AI agents with tool use, and AI-powered admin tools inside WordPress and Joomla. Python is not required to ship production AI.
It depends on the job. Laravel for SaaS and rapid MVPs. Symfony for enterprise and DDD. Slim for tiny microservices and webhook receivers. Swoole or ReactPHP for real-time. We help you pick during discovery and never lock you into a tool that does not fit.
OWASP Top 10 reviewed on every release, PDO prepared statements everywhere, Argon2id hashing, CSRF tokens, CSP headers, rate limiting, secrets in env, audit logging, Composer audit, and Dependabot. Plus, optional penetration tests before launch.
Yes. We run strangler-fig migrations: stand up a PHP 8.3 service next to your legacy app, move routes one slice at a time, dual-run, then cut over. No big-bang rewrites. Your business keeps running the entire time.
Both. REST with OpenAPI specs for mobile, partners, and AI agents. GraphQL with API Platform or Lighthouse when clients need flexible queries. Versioning, auth, rate limiting, and developer docs always included.
Authorize.Net, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Braintree, Apple Pay, Google Pay, CashApp, and ACH. We handle one-time, recurring, subscriptions, dunning, refunds, partial captures, 3D Secure, and PCI-aware tokenization so card data never touches your server.
Either. We work on shared cPanel, VPS, Cloudways, AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, Hetzner, and dedicated bare metal. If your stack is holding you back, we will plan a migration and move you with zero downtime.
A focused Starter build runs 3 to 5 weeks. A Platform build runs 8 to 16 weeks. Enterprise scale runs 4 to 9 months. We deliver vertical slices each sprint so you see working software early and often, not at the end.
No. 100% US team, Kansas City based, senior engineers start to finish. No offshore subcontractors, no junior bait-and-switch, no language barriers, no time zone gaps.
