[why php]

Why choose PHP?

Nearly thirty years after its creation, PHP still powers almost three-quarters of websites whose server-side language is known. With Laravel and Symfony, it offers a mature foundation for building robust business applications and one of the largest talent pools of developers on the market.
01

Two reference frameworks

Laravel quickly delivers a complete application, including authentication and processing queues. Symfony structures large-scale platforms into independent components.
02

A modern and typed language

Since PHP 8, the language offers strict typing, enumerations, read-only properties, and just-in-time compilation. It's nothing like the PHP of the 2000s.
03

Simple hosting, anywhere

PHP runs with all hosting providers, from a dedicated server to AWS or a sovereign cloud, without any particular infrastructure to maintain.
04

An application easy to take over

The PHP developer talent pool is one of the largest on the market: your application does not depend on a rare skill to evolve.

Some PHP projects

Fashion and Distribution
Project X Paris

Developing the Laravel ERP for a brand that became an international distributor

Project X Paris has opened 60 stores and relies on 7,500 resellers worldwide. Its ERP, developed in Laravel by Galadrim since 2018, covers the complete cycle of a wholesaler: catalogue, stock, pre-orders, factory orders, preparation and shipping. The NF525 certified point-of-sale software and the B2B sales website are linked to it.

Social Welfare
Fondation Louis Lépine

Revamp the Prefecture of Police's staff portal using its existing PHP code

The Louis Lépine Foundation provides agents of the Police Prefecture with access to accommodation, stays, loans, and grants, via an entitled user area and a back-office that processes requests. We took over the existing Symfony code and led a redesign of the experience and functionalities. An artificial intelligence-based check of supporting documents was added, for the task that consumed the most team time.

Agri-food
Apenda

To extend a production tool into a complete ERP for agri-food SMEs

Apenda publishes an ERP for SMEs in the agri-food sector, built in Laravel around a production and packaging monitoring module. We took over this module, then developed the other two, accounting and commercial, reuniting them with it behind a single interface. Each manufactured batch remains identifiable by QR code throughout the entire manufacturing chain, including ingredient control and heat treatment.

[FAQ]

Some frequently asked questions from our clients

Laravel is suitable for applications that need to be launched quickly, with authentication, processing queues, and an administration interface provided out of the box. Symfony is our preference for large-scale platforms, segmented into modules maintained by multiple teams. We practise both and recommend the one that best serves your project.
Yes. We audit the existing code, its dependencies and its hosting, then we propose a recovery plan. Automated tests are set up on critical paths before any modification, to evolve the application without rewriting it.
An unmaintained version no longer receives security patches: this is the case for PHP 7.4 since November 2022 and PHP 8.1 since late 2025. We carry out the version upgrade in stages, including the framework, checking each stage with tests.
Yes. Wikipedia and WordPress, which powers over 40% of websites, rely on PHP. An application's performance mainly depends on its architecture: cache, background processing and a well-indexed database.
Each project is quoted based on its functional scope, the expected design level and connections to your existing tools. Describe your needs to us, we will get back to you within 1 hour.
Yes. The code is versioned on your repositories from day one and you own it. It is documented so that your teams, or any other team, can take it over.
