/ In short

PHP development is the engineering of server-side web applications using PHP, typically with frameworks like Laravel or Symfony — powering APIs, CMS platforms and enterprise systems where stability, ecosystem maturity and rapid delivery matter.

02
Legacy modernization

Strangler migration from patched PHP to modern Laravel or hybrid stacks.

03

05
WordPress + Laravel hybrids

/ Is this right for you?

Honest fit check.

A plain answer up front. We'd rather not sell you something you don't need.

Yes if
  • You have an existing PHP or Laravel codebase to modernise
  • You need a Laravel API behind a React or Next.js frontend
  • You run WordPress and need custom PHP plugin or integration work
× Not a fit if
  • You're starting fresh with no PHP history — consider Next.js + Node
  • You need a static marketing site — a CMS is simpler than custom PHP
  • You want a mobile-only backend — Firebase or Supabase may be faster
/ Best fit

Who this service is for.

  • Teams modernising legacy PHP applications to Laravel or hybrid stacks
  • WordPress and WooCommerce companies needing custom PHP development
  • Enterprise teams running Symfony or custom PHP at scale
  • Product teams needing Laravel APIs behind React or Next.js frontends

/ Why us

What makes us different.

01
Senior engineers stay on the work

The people you meet in discovery stay involved through architecture, delivery and launch.

02
Search, performance and accessibility are built in

Metadata, schema, page performance and semantic markup are part of delivery, not a post-launch add-on.

03
Architecture is explained in writing

Tradeoffs, integrations and scope changes are documented so your team can audit decisions later.

04
Your team owns the output

Repos, infra, analytics and documentation live in your accounts from the beginning.

What clients noticed about this kind of work.

EU
Cuibit stepped into a messy SaaS rebuild, reset the architecture quickly and shipped without the usual agency handoff drama. The team felt embedded, not outsourced.

Cuibit brought order to a backend that had become risky to change. Better contracts, better visibility and fewer release surprises mattered more than any single framework choice.

/ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Laravel is among the most productive, well-supported frameworks in web development, PHP 8.4 is fast and modern, and millions of production systems depend on it.

Usually modernize. A full rewrite is rarely the cheapest path — a phased strangler migration preserves features and reduces risk.

Yes. Hybrid stacks (Laravel + Node workers or Next.js frontend) are common and work well when the team sets clean boundaries.

Pricing is quoted after discovery based on scope, team shape and delivery timeline. A Laravel API with auth and data modeling, a CRM integration and an enterprise modernisation are each scoped differently, so we share a written proposal after discovery.

Usually modernise to Laravel — it preserves features, reduces risk and is faster to deliver than a full rewrite. Rewrites are justified only when the original codebase cannot be safely extended.

Laravel for rapid development, clean APIs and most SaaS/product work. Symfony for DDD-heavy enterprise systems with long lifecycles and strict architectural requirements.

OWASP Top 10 baseline, Laravel's built-in CSRF and XSS protection, prepared statements, dependency auditing, encrypted secrets and regular security updates.
