Laravel Development Services

My rate is 90–160 PLN net per hour (≈ €21–37). An MVP typically starts at around 30,000 PLN net (≈ €7,000), smaller modules and integrations from 15,000 PLN, and a maintenance retainer from 2,000 PLN per month (≈ €470). You get a fixed quote after a free scope analysis — no hidden costs.

Yes — Laravel remains the most popular PHP framework: fast start, a mature ecosystem (Horizon, Filament, Forge, Vapor) and a large talent pool, which lowers development and maintenance costs. For businesses the key benefit is predictability: when processes become non-standard, Laravel scales cheaper than no-code tools that start to constrain you.

Laravel powers applications from startups to large organisations — thousands of production systems run on it in SaaS, e-commerce and fintech. Scaling is handled by queues (Horizon), Redis, PostgreSQL and horizontal application scaling. Instead of relying on rumours, I will show you the architecture and metrics of similar systems I have built.

Yes. I start with a code audit and test setup, prepare a modernization plan, then develop the application module by module — without interrupting the running system. Taking over Laravel and legacy PHP projects is one of my core services.

An MVP usually takes 6–10 weeks; a mid-sized application with a panel and integrations takes 3–6 months. After the scope analysis you get a schedule broken down by module and weekly demos — you see progress as it happens, not at the handover.

Yes — most of my projects started as MVPs. We pick the smallest feature set that delivers value (e.g. one process and one integration), ship it in a few weeks and grow it based on feedback. The architecture is built to scale from day one.

Yes. I run the backend, integrations and maintenance of applications under the agency’s brand: NDA, communication in your name, reports for the end client and 20/40/80 h monthly hour packages.

Yes. I design with GDPR in mind: data in the EU, data minimisation, encryption, access control, audit logging and processing agreements. For sensitive data I choose solutions that meet your industry’s requirements.

WordPress wins when you need a fast start and a simple content site; no-code works for simple processes without unusual logic. Laravel starts to win when custom business logic, integrations (ERP, CRM, payments), roles, subscription billing or a customer portal enter the picture — that is when no-code becomes an expensive constraint.

Yes — the repository, technical documentation, deployment instructions and access credentials are transferred to you, with copyright assigned by contract. Another team can take the project over at any time, without asking me for permission.

Laravel is a free, open-source PHP framework for building web applications, based on the MVC architectural pattern. It provides ready-made components: routing, the Eloquent ORM, Blade templates, authentication, queues and database migrations — which makes applications faster to build and easier to maintain than plain PHP projects.

Laravel was created by Taylor Otwell in 2011 and is still developed by him together with the community and Laravel LLC. The framework gets regular yearly releases (currently Laravel 12), and the ecosystem includes Forge, Vapor, Filament, Horizon and thousands of packages available through Composer and Packagist.

Yes — Laravel is released under the MIT licence and is free for commercial use as well. Only optional official tools are paid (e.g. Laravel Nova or Laravel Cloud/Vapor hosting), plus third-party service subscriptions — the framework itself and its core ecosystem carry no licence fees.

I choose Laravel for most business applications: a faster start, simpler syntax and a richer package ecosystem lower the cost of building and maintaining them. Symfony can be better for large enterprise systems with custom bundles and a Symfony-savvy team. Both build on PHP and proven components — base the decision on your processes and team skills, not on trends.

Laravel ships security mechanisms by default: CSRF and XSS protection, parameterised queries (SQL injection protection), password hashing (bcrypt/Argon2) and input validation. On projects I additionally implement 2FA, rate limiting, audit logging and OWASP Top 10 verification — security depends on implementation practices, not on the framework alone.

Yes — Laravel renders HTML server-side, which Google indexes without issues, and full control over URLs, metadata, canonicals and structured data makes optimisation easier. For stores and portals that means fast loading (caching, queues) and clean content structure without the constraints of no-code platforms.

Laravel wins when fast delivery of business features matters: ready-made authentication, ORM, queues, an admin panel and a huge pool of PHP developers. Node.js makes sense for fully JavaScript teams, real-time applications (chat, live notifications) or sharing code with the frontend. Both scale well — the difference is team cost and time to market.

Typical options are a VPS (from roughly 50–150 PLN/month for an application with a database and queues), managed infrastructure with Laravel Forge, or serverless Laravel Vapor for variable traffic. Larger systems with PostgreSQL, Redis and queues run on cloud clusters (AWS, Hetzner, OVH). I match hosting to scale and budget — deployment, monitoring (Sentry) and backups are part of the engagement.
