Laravel web apps, platforms and upgrades
An open-source PHP framework for web apps and platforms.
When to call us
When your Laravel app is falling behind
If your app is on Laravel 11 or older, it no longer gets security fixes. We'll upgrade it, take it over, or build the next version properly.
Your app runs on Laravel 11 or older, which no longer gets security fixes.
You inherited a Laravel codebase, and the developer who wrote it has gone.
Background jobs back up, and the app slows down when it's busy.
You're on Laravel Vapor, which no longer takes new customers, and you're weighing up where to go next.

Questions
The things people usually ask
Plain answers on how Laravel works, what it costs and what we need from you. Anything else, just ask.
Our app is on Laravel 10 or 11. Is that a risk?
Yes. Laravel 11 stopped getting security fixes in March 2026, and older versions before that. Laravel 12 gets security fixes until February 2027, and Laravel 13 until March 2028.
Can you take over a codebase someone else built?
Yes. We review the code, the tests and the hosting first, then agree what we'll look after.
Livewire or Inertia?
Livewire keeps everything in Laravel, which suits admin-heavy apps and smaller teams. Inertia pairs Laravel with a Vue or React front end, which suits richer interfaces. We'll recommend one based on your team.
Should we move to Laravel Cloud?
It's often the simplest option for a new app, and Vapor no longer takes new customers. For an existing app, it depends on your traffic, your data and what else runs alongside it. We'll compare the options with you.
Laravel or Symfony?
Both are solid PHP frameworks, and Laravel is built on parts of Symfony. Laravel is usually quicker to build with. Symfony suits large, long-lived platforms that need a strict structure. We work with both.
