Our Take

Why we use PHP / Laravel

PHP powers 78% of the web for a reason — and Laravel makes modern PHP a legitimate architectural choice for new applications. Eloquent ORM, Queue jobs, Broadcasting for real-time, and a rich testing ecosystem make Laravel competitive with Node.js for backend API services. For clients with PHP teams or WordPress migrations, Laravel is the natural upgrade path.
