Backend · PHP 8, Laravel & legacy

Hire PHP developers for new builds and old ones.

PHP engineers comfortable in modern Laravel and in the older codebases most businesses actually run — the CodeIgniter, CakePHP or bespoke system that still processes real money and cannot simply be thrown away.

What we build.

Everything Hire PHP Developers includes — designed, built and shipped for you.

Version upgrades

PHP 5 or 7 to 8 done incrementally with tests, not in one leap.

5 to 8 Incremental Tested
Security first

Injection, upload and session issues found and closed.

OWASP Patching Hardening
Performance

Query profiling, N+1 elimination and caching where it measurably helps, on both modern and legacy stacks.

Profiling Caching Indexes N+1

FAQ

Questions answered.

Still unsure? Email contact@scaleus.in — a real human replies inside 4 hours.

Can you work on our old PHP system?

Yes, and it is a large part of our work. We start by adding tests around current behaviour so a refactor cannot silently change what the business depends on.

Should we upgrade or rewrite?

Almost always upgrade. A rewrite discards every bug fix and edge case already handled. We recommend rewriting only when the stack is genuinely unsupported or unsafe.

Can we hire a developer full-time instead of a fixed-price project?

Yes. Dedicated engineers are available monthly, full-time or part-time, with a named developer and direct communication rather than an account manager relay. Most clients start with one fixed-scope build and move to a monthly team once they have seen the work.

How quickly can you start?

Onboarding takes under a day and a first working draft usually lands within two to three days. We keep overlap with US, UK and Australian business hours so you are not waiting a full day for each reply.

How much does this cost?

Most single-scope builds land between $2,500 and $4,000 as a fixed price. Multi-location or heavily integrated work runs $10,000 to $25,000, and a full platform build is $25,000 to $50,000. Once live, managed support is $900 to $1,500 a month. We quote fixed scope so you are not exposed to an open-ended hourly meter.

Who actually does the work?

Our own engineers, not a subcontracted chain. The team has delivered production apps as a Tier 1 delivery partner to a $1.3B-valuation UK app platform serving US and UK SMBs, plus our own products running in 60+ countries. You get named engineers and a direct line to them.
