Laravel development
The framework we reach for most often when a business application needs to be built quickly without becoming disposable.
PHP framework
Chosen per project
Maintainable handover
Laravel’s appeal is how much comes as standard: an ORM, migrations, queues, scheduled tasks, authentication, authorisation policies, mail, file storage and a genuinely good testing setup. For business applications, that removes weeks of foundational work.
It is our usual choice for ERP, CRM and e-commerce backends where the requirement is a lot of well-structured business logic rather than an unusual technical constraint.
What we build with Laravel
ERP and inventory systems with many interdependent modules
CRM and sales platforms with workflow and approvals
E-commerce backends with custom pricing rules
Multi-tenant business applications
Where it fits — and where it does not
Good fit when
Rich business logic with permissions and workflow
Projects that benefit from queues and scheduled tasks out of the box
Teams that value convention and a well-documented ecosystem
Applications needing an admin layer without building one from scratch
Consider something else when
Very small sites where a framework is more than the job requires
Real-time-first products with persistent socket connections
Environments where PHP hosting is unavailable or discouraged
The parts you would otherwise build
These are the components a business application needs regardless of framework. Laravel providing them well is most of the reason it shortens delivery.
Eloquent ORM
Models, relationships and query building.
Migrations
Schema changes under version control.
Authentication
Sessions, tokens and password handling.
Authorisation
Policies and gates per model and action.
Queues
Background jobs with retries and failure handling.
Scheduler
Cron-driven tasks defined in code.
Validation
Request rules with consistent error responses.
Testing
HTTP and database testing built into the framework.
How we work with Laravel
Domain structure
Business logic in service and action classes, keeping controllers thin and testable.
Authorisation
Policies and gates rather than permission checks scattered through views.
Queues and scheduling
Anything slow moved off the request cycle, with failed jobs surfaced rather than swallowed.
Testing
Feature tests through the HTTP layer against a real database, which is where regressions actually show up.
Our typical Laravel setup
| Concern | What we use |
|---|---|
| Version | Current Laravel LTS or latest stable, on PHP 8.2+ |
| Database | MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL with versioned migrations |
| Queues | Redis or database-backed queues with a supervised worker |
| Frontend | Blade with light JavaScript, or React where the UI is complex |
| Testing | Pest or PHPUnit feature tests against a real database |
| Deployment | Zero-downtime releases with cached config and routes |
Frequently asked questions
Because those systems are mostly business rules, permissions, workflow and scheduled processing — all of which Laravel supports directly. The framework handles the plumbing so the effort goes into the logic that is specific to your business.
Yes, provided the codebase is structured deliberately — business logic in services, authorisation in policies, slow work in queues. Laravel applications become unmanageable when everything is written into controllers, which is a discipline problem rather than a framework limit.
Yes. Laravel serves a JSON API and React consumes it, which is a common and well-supported arrangement when the interface is complex enough to justify it.
