PHP Development

Get help with the PHP application or website your business depends on. We use PHP development for server-side functionality, existing-site improvements and connections between systems, starting with the work the software needs to do.

01Review

Have an existing PHP website?

A useful first step is understanding its current state. We review the application, the issue or change you have in mind, and the access available to investigate it. Existing code, dependencies, hosting and business rules all affect the safest route forward.

You do not need to arrive with a technical diagnosis. Show us the action that is failing, the result you expected and an example we can reproduce without exposing customer information.

02Features

Turn requirements into working features

PHP work can support forms, account areas, data processing and system connections. The project may be a focused change to an existing website or part of a wider web application.

    What we clarify

    Steps to reproduce and expected result

  • What you need

    An existing application updated

    What we clarify

    Dependencies, test coverage and release route

  • What you need

    Better administration

    What we clarify

    Tasks staff repeat and permission needs

These questions keep the work tied to a business purpose. They also reveal when a change affects more than the visible page.

03Testing

Test changes against real workflows

We agree representative cases and test the affected behaviour before release. For sensitive actions, that includes what happens when an input is missing, access is denied or a connected service does not respond.

An update needs a deployment and recovery plan proportionate to the application. We discuss access, backups and who will verify the changed workflow after release.

04Service

Choose the right service for the job

If your requirement is a complete customer portal or internal tool, Web Application Development explains the broader process.

  • If the issue is specifically within WordPress, our WordPress service may be the better starting point.

Questions before getting started

Do we need to know our PHP version?

It helps if you have that information, but the initial discussion can start with the website and the problem. We establish the technical details through authorised access.

Can you take over existing code?

We first assess the codebase and its dependencies. That review determines what can be maintained, improved or needs a different approach.

Can PHP connect to our other software?

Potentially. We need to check the other system's supported access and the exact data flow before confirming a connection.
