How much does PHP development cost?

WordPress projects start from CHF 3,000. Custom PHP applications range from CHF 5,000 to CHF 40,000+. We provide free consultations and detailed quotes for every project.

Should I use WordPress or a custom PHP solution?

WordPress is ideal for content-driven websites, blogs, and simple e-commerce. Custom PHP (Laravel) is better for complex business applications, SaaS platforms, and projects requiring specific workflows or integrations.

Can you upgrade my old PHP application?

Yes, we specialize in PHP upgrades and modernization. We audit your existing code, create a migration plan, upgrade PHP versions, refactor code, and add tests — all while keeping your application running.

Modern PHP Development

PHP powers over 77% of websites with a known server-side language. Modern PHP 8+ is a far cry from the PHP of old — it features typed properties, enums, fibers for asynchronous programming, named arguments, and match expressions that make code cleaner and more performant. We write modern, object-oriented PHP that follows PSR standards, uses Composer for dependency management, and leverages the best of the PHP ecosystem. Whether you need a custom application built from scratch or an existing PHP project modernized, our Martigny-based team delivers professional, maintainable code.

What We Build with PHP

Our PHP expertise spans multiple frameworks and use cases. We build custom web applications with Laravel, WordPress themes and plugins for content-driven websites, WooCommerce stores for e-commerce, RESTful and GraphQL APIs that serve mobile apps and JavaScript frontends, custom content management systems for businesses with unique workflow needs, and automation scripts for data processing and integration. We also work with other PHP frameworks when project requirements dictate — Symfony components, Slim for microservices, and custom frameworks for legacy projects.

Our Development Approach

We follow modern PHP development practices that ensure code quality and long-term maintainability. This includes strict type declarations, comprehensive unit and integration testing with PHPUnit, static analysis with PHPStan, and code style enforcement with PHP CS Fixer. We use Git for version control, implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment, and document our code thoroughly. Our development environment uses Docker to ensure consistency between development and production. Every project includes a thorough code review process before deployment.

Performance & Security in PHP

PHP security is a critical concern, and we take it seriously. We implement prepared statements to prevent SQL injection, output escaping to prevent XSS, CSRF token validation, secure session handling, and proper password hashing with bcrypt. For performance, we optimize database queries, implement OPcache for bytecode caching, use Redis for session and data caching, and configure PHP-FPM for optimal resource utilization. Our PHP applications are deployed on secure Swiss servers with SSL certificates, regular security updates, and comprehensive access logging.

Legacy PHP Modernization

Many Swiss businesses run on legacy PHP applications built 5-15 years ago. These systems often use outdated PHP versions, lack proper security measures, and are difficult to maintain. We specialize in modernizing legacy PHP code — upgrading PHP versions, refactoring procedural code to object-oriented patterns, adding automated tests, improving security, and migrating to modern frameworks like Laravel. Our approach is incremental, minimizing business disruption while steadily improving code quality. We have successfully modernized PHP applications for businesses across Valais.
