PHP developers for the system you already run on.

Hire PHP and Laravel developers to maintain an existing business system, build APIs or develop new application features. They work in your repository and follow your release process. We review the framework version, integrations and backlog to match support to your application.

Developer on loan

Example

Week 1 of 2: a senior PHP developer

  1. Joined your standup and Slack on day one
  2. Closed 5 tickets, including the month-end report that timed out
  3. All 5 passed your code review and were merged

  4. Keep her on your team from next month?

An example with made-up figures. The buttons send nothing.

How hiring PHP developers works.

  1. You name the system and the gap

    The PHP system, the version it runs on, the framework if there is one, and the work waiting: new features, an overdue upgrade or a backlog of fixes. We hand-pick PHP developers for it in 1 to 2 weeks.

  2. They join your team

    Your standups, your Slack or Teams, your Jira board and your code repository. You set the priorities and review the code, as you would with your own staff.

  3. You size it monthly

    Grow the team for an upgrade or a big release, and shrink it once the system is quiet again. Month by month, without hiring anyone or letting anyone go.

    The system works, but only one person understands it

    With PHP developers

    A second pair of hands on the code that runs the business

    A senior PHP developer reads the code, writes down how it works and starts taking tickets from your backlog. The person who carried it alone gets a colleague, and the business stops depending on one head.

    An old PHP version your host is about to drop

    With PHP developers

    Moved to a current PHP version without a rewrite

    Developers upgrade the PHP version and the libraries step by step, running your tests after each one, while the system stays live. The code you have keeps working, on a version that still gets security fixes.

    New Laravel work beside the system you already run

    Laravel developers build the new customer portal, API or back office on the same MySQL database your business already uses, so nothing is entered twice. Your team keeps the roadmap and reviews every change.

    Pages time out and month-end takes all night

    With PHP developers

    Slow reports and timeouts fixed where they start

    A senior developer finds the queries and jobs that eat the time, fixes them in MySQL and PHP, and adds the checks that catch the next one. Month-end runs in the background instead of at somebody's desk.

How you stay in control.

Our developers take direction from you. Every PHP developer we place works under these four rules.

  • You approve who joins and what ships

    You meet each developer before they start and can ask for a change at any time. Their work goes through your code review and reaches your live system only when your team merges it.

    • You choose who joins the team
    • Ask for a change if someone isn't a fit
    • Every change goes through your review

  • Your code and your database stay yours

    The code lives in your repository and the database on your own servers or cloud account, under an NDA signed before day one. Access follows your own policies.

    • Code and database in your own accounts
    • NDA before day one, plus MSA and DPA
    • Access only to what each developer needs, through your own logins

  • In your tools and your process

    They join your standups, sprints and channels, in Slack or Teams, Jira, GitHub or GitLab. If your deploys run a certain way, they run that way. You never have to adopt a tool of ours.

    • In your Slack or Teams channels
    • Tickets from your own Jira board
    • Overlaps 3 to 4 hours with the US and UK

  • You see hours, progress and cost

    Every month you see the hours worked, the tickets closed and what it cost. Day to day, progress shows on your own board, so you never wait for a status report.

    • Progress on your own board, every day
    • Hours worked, reported each month
    • Cost shown each month, before you renew

    Being associated with iTechnoSol was a pleasant and satisfying experience. They are good at many things, but I can't forget these two things in particular - their speed of response and clear understanding of my ideas. The team is really talented and was always available to answer my questions and to provide feedback. They beautifully nurtured the project and delivered it accordingly. I am delighted with them.

    For iTechnoSol, there is only one word in my mind - Fantastic! I am not just impressed by their service quality, but also for their working strategies. I am never going to regret my decision to hire them for the development of my mobile application. They have really made me happy by delivering an exceptional solution and extraordinary web design. They are talented and attentive. Most importantly, THEY CARE about client needs. Highly recommended.

  • I am looking forward to giving my future projects to iTechnoSol again.

    Read the full quote from Web app redesign client

    I already had a web application, but it was not up to the mark. So, I gave that project to iTechnoSol and told them that they are free to do anything, just give me a trendy but user-friendly app. I thought that redesigning existing projects is quite tough as the teams have to mold their thought processes according to my comfort zone, but I must say that they left no loophole in their work and offered a design that is a treat to the eyes! I am looking forward to giving my future projects to iTechnoSol again.

    We needed user-friendly software for customers so that they can get easy access to our services even without any admin support. When we discussed the project with iTechnoSol, they understood our ideas of business in detail and promised to deliver what we wanted. And yes, they have kept their promise. Keep up the good work, iTechnoSol. We hope we meet again soon for other projects shortly.

  • iTechnoSol stood behind us like a rock!

    Read the full quote from Outsourcing client, four-person team

    We are a team of four people who dream big and take a lot of projects altogether. So, we often need to outsource some of our software projects. We came to know about iTechnoSol from one of our clients, and we approached them. Within a day or two, they arranged an enthusiastic and dedicated development team through their software consultancy services! That project was big and very important for us, and we must say iTechnoSol stood behind us like a rock! Thank you buddies for all your love and support. We highly recommend this software company.

PHP developer hiring questions.

The monthly cost, old code against new Laravel work, whether to rewrite, time zones and who owns the code.

Can a PHP engagement begin with an existing codebase review?

Yes. Share the PHP and framework versions, hosting setup, important integrations and the backlog. A review can identify dependency constraints, test coverage and the safest starting point for maintenance or new features.

How much does it cost to hire PHP developers?

The price moves with the roles, their seniority and how many people you need. You pay month by month for the team you have, and you see that monthly cost before anyone starts. The first two weeks with a senior developer are free.

Can your developers work on our existing PHP code, not only new Laravel projects?

Yes, and most PHP work is exactly that. Our developers start by reading the code you have, whether it is Laravel, another framework or plain PHP, and work within it rather than around it. The free two weeks show you how they handle your codebase before you pay for anything.

Should we rewrite our old PHP system or keep extending it?

Usually keep it. A system that runs the business holds years of rules nobody wrote down, and a rewrite risks losing them. We upgrade the PHP version, clear the risks and add new work beside it. If a full replacement really is the better route, we say so on the call instead of staffing a team for it.

Do you work with Laravel, or other PHP frameworks too?

New PHP work we build in Laravel, with MySQL underneath. For the code you already have, we work in whatever it was built with. Tell us the framework and the PHP version on the first call and we match the developer to it.

How do you work across time zones?

We share 3 to 4 hours of the US and UK business day. Standups run on your clock, updates land in Slack, Teams or Jira, and we reply within 4 business hours.

Who owns the code our PHP developers write?

You do, from the first commit. Every change lands in your own code repository under your name, and the documentation is yours too. When a developer leaves your team, the code stays where it is and you owe nothing extra.
