I will develop a custom Laravel PHP web application or API for your business

I will develop a custom Laravel PHP web application or API for your business — clean, tested code built to your spec, with the database, auth, and deployment handled end to end.

What you get

Laravel is my daily driver, and this service is hands-on development of a real application or API tailored to what your business actually needs — not a template you have to fight against. Depending on the plan you choose, here is what lands in your repository:

• A working Laravel application or RESTful API built on a current LTS-supported version of Laravel and PHP 8.2+, structured with controllers, form requests, service/action classes, and Eloquent models.
• A normalized database schema with migrations and seeders so anyone can spin up the project from scratch with a single command.
• Authentication and authorization wired in — registration, login, password reset, email verification, and role/permission gating (Laravel Breeze, Fortify, or Sanctum/Passport for token-based APIs, chosen to match your use case).
• CRUD modules for your core entities, with server-side validation, pagination, filtering, and search where it makes sense.
• A documented API surface (OpenAPI/Swagger or a Postman collection) when you order an API build, including consistent JSON responses, proper status codes, and error envelopes.
• Background processing for slow work — queued jobs, scheduled commands (the Laravel scheduler), and email/notification handling via Mailables and notifications.
• Third-party integrations you need: payment gateways (Stripe, etc.), SMS/email providers, storage (S3-compatible), maps, or any REST/GraphQL service with an API.
• Automated tests (PHPUnit or Pest) covering the critical paths, plus a .env.example, a README with setup steps, and clear inline comments where logic is non-obvious.
• Deployment to your host of choice (Forge, a VPS, shared hosting that supports PHP, or a container setup) and a short handover call or written walkthrough.

Everything is delivered to your own Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) with sensible commits, so you own the code outright and any developer can pick it up later.

Plans

API endpoints	Optional, limited	Full REST API	Full REST API + versioning & docs
Queues & scheduled jobs	—	Included	Included
Third-party integrations	—	1 integration	Multiple integrations
Admin panel	—	Optional	Filament/Nova admin
Automated tests	Smoke tests	Core-path tests	Broad test coverage
Deployment	Guidance	Deployed for you	Deployed + CI/CD pipeline
Revisions	1	2	3

If your project sits between tiers or you are unsure which fits, message me first and I will scope it honestly — I would rather quote the right plan than oversell.

How it works

1. Discovery. You send me your requirements — a brief, wireframes, a spec doc, an existing database, or even a competitor you want to match. We talk through goals, must-have features, and the realistic boundaries of the build.
2. Scope & confirm. I write back a short, plain-English scope: the entities, screens or endpoints, integrations, and the plan that fits. We lock that down before any code is written so there are no surprises.
3. Foundation. I set up the Laravel project, database schema, migrations, auth, and project structure, then push the first commit so you can see progress immediately.
4. Feature build. I implement the modules in priority order, committing as I go. You get access to a staging URL where you can click around and try things while they are still in flight.
5. Testing & polish. I add automated tests for the critical paths, handle edge cases, validate inputs, and tighten error handling.
6. Review & revisions. You review against the agreed scope and request the revisions included in your plan. I turn them around quickly.
7. Deploy & handover. I deploy to your environment, provide the README and .env.example, walk you through running and maintaining it, and hand over full repository access.

Why choose this

I focus on Laravel specifically rather than spreading thin across a dozen stacks, so you get framework-idiomatic code: form requests instead of validation crammed into controllers, Eloquent relationships instead of raw query soup, queued jobs instead of blocking requests, and policies instead of scattered permission checks. The result is an application that a future developer can read and extend without reverse-engineering it.

I work in your repository with clear commits, so you can watch progress in real time and you are never locked in. I write honest scopes, flag risks early (rather than after the deadline), and tell you when a requested feature is a bad idea or out of plan. Tests and documentation are part of the deliverable, not an upsell — because an app without them is a liability the day after launch.

Who it's for / use cases

This is for founders, agencies, and businesses that need real backend muscle behind their idea. Typical builds include: internal admin tools and dashboards; SaaS MVPs with subscriptions and multi-tenancy; REST APIs that power a mobile app or single-page frontend (React, Vue, or a native client); customer portals and booking systems; CRMs, inventory, and order-management apps; marketplaces; and integrations that stitch together services you already pay for. If you have a legacy PHP app that needs rebuilding on a modern framework, or a half-finished Laravel project that stalled, that fits here too.

It is not the right fit if you need a no-code drag-and-drop builder, a WordPress plugin, a purely static brochure site, or a non-PHP backend — message me first and I will point you in a better direction rather than take work I can't do well.

FAQ

Q: Do you build the frontend too, or just the backend/API? I can deliver server-rendered Blade views (with Tailwind, Livewire, or Inertia) as part of the app, or build a pure JSON API for your own frontend team. Tell me which you need and I will scope accordingly. A separately designed, complex SPA frontend is usually its own conversation.

Q: Which Laravel and PHP versions do you use? I build on a current, actively supported Laravel release and PHP 8.2 or newer by default, unless your hosting or existing codebase requires a specific version — in which case I match it.

Q: Will I own the code? Yes, completely. Everything is committed to your Git repository and the code is yours to keep, modify, and host anywhere. There are no licensing strings and no dependency on me to keep it running.

Q: Can you work with my existing database or codebase? Yes. I can extend an existing Laravel project, add an API to a legacy app, or build against a database schema you already have. Share read access and I will assess fit before committing to scope.

Q: How do you handle changes once we've started? The revisions in your plan cover refinements within the agreed scope. Genuinely new features or a scope change are handled as an add-on or an upgraded plan — quoted up front, never billed by surprise.

Q: Do you deploy it, and where? Yes. I deploy to Laravel Forge, a VPS, a container setup, or compatible shared hosting — your choice. Premium includes a CI/CD pipeline so future deploys are a single push.

Q: Is the application secure? I follow Laravel's built-in protections (CSRF, hashed passwords, prepared statements via Eloquent, validation on every input) and apply sensible practices around auth, authorization policies, and secret management. For anything handling sensitive or regulated data, tell me up front so I can scope the extra hardening.

Q: What do you need from me to start? A clear description of what the app should do, any wireframes or reference apps, access to your repository and hosting (or I can set them up), and timely answers during the build. The sharper your requirements, the faster and cheaper the result.
