Why choose Laravel for a web application?
Laravel is a mature PHP framework with built-in authentication, queues, scheduling and a large ecosystem, so business web applications and APIs can be built quickly and hosted cheaply. Stack18 builds new Laravel applications with tests and CI/CD, and upgrades older PHP or CodeIgniter systems to supported versions without stopping the business.

Discover
We map today’s process, systems and data for Laravel web applications, REST and GraphQL APIs and admin panels, talk to the people who run it and agree the baseline for page load time and release frequency, so progress is measured from week one.
Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for Laravel web applications and REST and GraphQL APIs, and review a clickable prototype or technical design with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build
We build in weekly demos, starting with Laravel web applications, then REST and GraphQL APIs and admin panels. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
Launch
We migrate data, train your team and support go-live. After 30 days we review page load time and release frequency against the baseline and agree what to extend next.
