Monthly price per full-time engineer, about 160 hours. No recruiting fee, and the first 2 weeks are free if it isn't working.

Senior, 5 to 8 yrs$3,200a month, about $20/hr
Lead, 8+ yrs$4,200a month, about $26/hr
What they build
Right when your business already runs on Laravel and needs a steady engineer, or an inherited PHP app needs an owner.
01
Web apps and portals
Customer portals, booking systems and internal tools with Laravel, Livewire or Inertia.
02
APIs
Laravel APIs with Sanctum or Passport for mobile apps and single-page frontends.
03
Upgrades
Older Laravel and PHP versions brought up to date, with the breaking changes handled and tested.
04
Rescue work
Inherited codebases reviewed, stabilised and documented before new features go in.
What we vet for
A senior engineer, not a recruiter, runs every stage: a communication screen, a practical task in your stack, a technical interview and references. You see the scorecard and interview the shortlist.
- Modern Laravel: Eloquent, queues, events, policies
- PHP 8 with types and static analysis (PHPStan or Larastan)
- MySQL or Postgres query tuning
- Testing with PHPUnit or Pest
- Livewire, Inertia or Vue on the frontend
- Deploying with Forge, Vapor or Docker

Questions
Straight answers on time, money, people and IP.
Can you take over a Laravel app another agency built?
Yes. We start with a short code and infrastructure review, fix what is risky, then carry on building.
Do you upgrade old Laravel versions?
Yes. We upgrade one major version at a time, with tests around the parts that change, so the app keeps working throughout.
How fast can they start?
Laravel developers are a fast-start role: a senior engineer from our core team can usually start within 5 working days, while we match your long-term hire.
What does it cost to hire Laravel developers?
From $2,400 a month (about $15/hr) for a mid-level engineer, $3,200 for senior and $4,200 for a lead, for about 160 hours a month. Overtime, when you need it, is 1.5× the normal rate.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. We sign a mutual NDA before you share details, every contract assigns all code and IP to you, and the code lives in your repositories.
