LARAVEL WEB DEVELOPMENT

Laravel Development for Complex Web Applications and APIs.

Eloquent. Testable. Maintainable.

Custom Laravel application development — REST APIs, web applications, SaaS platforms, queue-based systems, and third-party integrations. We build on Laravel's full feature set: Eloquent ORM, queues, events, broadcasting, and Sanctum/Passport authentication — with PHPUnit test coverage from day one.

Why Laravel for PHP web development

Laravel is the PHP framework that makes maintainable, testable code the path of least resistance — not the exception.

Laravel's developer experience is unmatched in the PHP ecosystem: Eloquent ORM for intuitive database interactions, Artisan CLI for code generation, built-in queue system for background processing, real-time events via Broadcasting, and a first-class testing framework. The result is PHP applications that are faster to build and dramatically easier to maintain than equivalent raw PHP or older framework applications.

We've taken over Laravel applications written by developers who used the framework but ignored its conventions — controllers with hundreds of lines of business logic, no tests, direct database queries bypassing Eloquent, and no service layer. We've rebuilt the same applications correctly in half the time and delivered codebases that new developers can onboard to in a day. The difference is architectural discipline, not framework choice.

Laravel 11 with PHP 8.2 — modern typed PHP with strict mode throughout
Service layer architecture: controllers are thin, business logic lives in services and actions
Eloquent models with proper relationships, scopes, and mutators — no raw SQL in application code
Queue-based background processing for emails, notifications, and heavy operations
PHPUnit feature and unit tests from day one — CI runs tests on every pull request

What correct Laravel architecture delivers

A Laravel application built with a service layer, proper Eloquent usage, and full test coverage costs 60-70% less to maintain than one built without these patterns.

The temptation in Laravel development is to put everything in controllers — it works, it's quick, and the framework doesn't stop you. The problem is that fat controllers are untestable, difficult to understand, and expensive to change. Adding a feature in week one takes 2 hours. Adding the same feature in month six takes 2 days because the developer has to understand 400 lines of mixed business logic before changing any of it.

Our Laravel architecture uses a clear separation: controllers handle HTTP concerns only, a service layer handles business logic, repository pattern for data access where appropriate, and actions for discrete business operations. Every service is tested with PHPUnit. Every developer who onboards to the codebase after us can understand what a controller action does in 10 lines — because those 10 lines delegate to named, tested services.

Service layer pattern: every controller action delegates to a named service class. The controller handles request validation and response formatting — nothing else.
Action classes for discrete business operations (CreateOrder, ChargePayment, SendWelcomeEmail) — single-responsibility, individually testable, easy to sequence.
Eloquent models with typed relationships, query scopes for reusable filtering logic, and mutators for attribute transformation — no raw SQL except where query complexity demands it.
Laravel Queues for every operation that doesn't need to be synchronous — emails, notifications, third-party API calls, report generation — keeping response times fast.
Sanctum for SPA authentication, Passport for OAuth2 API authorization — correct authentication architecture for every API client type.
Feature tests for every API endpoint and unit tests for every service class — CI blocks merge if tests fail. Production deployments never have less test coverage than staging.

Every service under one roof.

Capabilities

Built for performance at every layer.

Service Layer Architecture

Thin controllers, service classes for business logic, and action classes for discrete operations. Maintainable, testable, and easy to onboard.

REST API Development

Production-ready APIs with Sanctum/Passport auth, rate limiting, input validation, and OpenAPI documentation.

Eloquent ORM

Typed Eloquent models with proper relationships, query scopes, and mutators. No raw SQL in application code.

Queue System

Laravel Horizon for job queue management — background processing keeps response times fast and operations reliable.

SaaS Development

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with tenant isolation, Stripe Cashier billing, and feature flag infrastructure.

Security First

Sanctum/Passport auth, CSRF protection, input validation, rate limiting, and regular Laravel security patches applied.

Livewire / Inertia.js

Server-driven reactivity with Livewire, or modern SPA experience with Inertia.js + React — built for your team's skill set.

CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions CI running tests, code style enforcement, and static analysis on every pull request. Automated deployments to staging and production.

PHPUnit Test Coverage

Feature tests for every API endpoint and unit tests for every service class. Business logic is always covered before it reaches production.

Technology

The platforms we build on.

We're platform-agnostic but opinionated. Every platform recommendation is made after understanding your business model, your team's capability, and your growth plans — not because it's easiest for us.

Laravel 11 / PHP 8.2

Framework

Current Laravel LTS release with PHP 8.2 strict typing throughout. All development follows Laravel conventions — Eloquent, queues, events, and Artisan commands.

Laravel Sanctum / Passport

Authentication

Sanctum for SPA and mobile app authentication (lightweight token-based), Passport for full OAuth2 server capability for third-party API integrations.

Laravel Horizon

Queue management

Horizon provides a beautiful dashboard for monitoring Laravel queue workers — job throughput, failed jobs, and queue size monitoring at a glance.

MySQL / PostgreSQL

Database

MySQL for most applications, PostgreSQL for applications requiring JSON queries, full-text search, or specific PostgreSQL features. Eloquent migrations for schema version control.

Laravel Forge / Envoyer

Deployment

Forge for server provisioning and management (Nginx, PHP-FPM, queue workers, SSL), Envoyer for zero-downtime deployments with health checks before traffic is switched.

PHPUnit / Pest

Testing

PHPUnit for traditional test structure, Pest PHP as a modern alternative with more expressive syntax. Both produce the same reliable test coverage; choice depends on team preference.

FAQ

Answers, before you ask.

The most common questions we hear about services, process, timelines, and fit — answered plainly.

Laravel has the most complete standard library of any PHP framework — built-in queue system, scheduled tasks, event broadcasting, file storage, mail, notifications, and testing utilities — all with a consistent, well-documented API. The alternative is assembling the same capabilities from separate packages in Symfony or bare PHP. Laravel's conventions also produce more consistent codebases across different developers, which matters significantly for long-term maintenance.

The Laravel Service Layer Pattern: Why Fat Controllers Are Killing Your Codebase

Fat controllers are the most common Laravel anti-pattern — and the most expensive to fix later. We explain the service layer pattern, action classes, and how to structure Laravel applications that remain maintainable at 12 and 24 months post-launch, with code examples from real projects.

How We Test Laravel Applications: Feature Tests, Unit Tests, and CI/CD

A Laravel application without tests is a liability — every change carries unknown risk of regression. We share our testing strategy: feature tests for API endpoints, unit tests for service classes, and the GitHub Actions CI setup that enforces test passage before any code reaches staging.

Building Multi-Tenant SaaS on Laravel: Separate Databases vs. Shared Schema

Multi-tenancy architecture is one of the most important decisions in SaaS development — separate database per tenant provides the strongest isolation, shared schema with tenant_id is simpler and cheaper. We cover the trade-offs, implementation patterns, and the scenarios where each approach is correct.
