PHP developers for new builds and old codebases
Hire a PHP developer from Ecomsolver for the work most teams struggle to staff: maintaining a business-critical PHP application, upgrading it to a supported PHP version, and adding features without breaking what already works. PHP powers much of our work, from Magento and WooCommerce stores to the AdsGilla.in classifieds marketplace.
Your developer writes modern, typed PHP with Composer, PSR standards and automated tests, and can work in Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter or a custom framework. They join your Jira and GitHub, follow your review process and overlap with your hours, so the developer feels like part of your in-house team.
What your PHP developer can do
Custom web applications
Build portals, dashboards, booking systems and internal tools in PHP with clean architecture, role-based access and tests that make future changes safer.
REST and GraphQL APIs
Design and build APIs for mobile apps, SPAs and partner integrations, with authentication, rate limiting, versioning and clear documentation.
PHP version upgrades
Upgrade older PHP applications to current supported versions, fix deprecated functions, update dependencies and close security gaps found along the way.
Refactoring legacy code
Break up large files, add Composer autoloading and tests, and move business logic into maintainable services without a risky full rewrite.
Third-party integrations
Connect your PHP app to payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs, email services and AI APIs, with retries and logging for failed calls.
Performance and hosting
Profile slow pages, optimize MySQL queries, add caching with Redis, containerize with Docker and set up CI/CD pipelines for safer deploys.

We fix it, fine-tune it, then add AI and automation.
Most clients come to us with something already running: a store that is slow, an app that crashes, code nobody wants to touch. We stabilise it first, then add the AI features that save time and earn money.
Fix
A code and infrastructure audit of your Laravel / PHP product, then the fixes that matter most.
- Bugs, crashes and broken integrations
- Security patches and outdated versions
- Code nobody can maintain
Fine-tune
Make it fast, stable and easy to change, without a risky rewrite.
- Speed, caching and database tuning
- Tests, CI/CD and monitoring
- UX fixes where users get stuck
Add AI & automation
Practical AI built into the Laravel / PHP product you already have.
- AI search and assistants over your own data
- Content, document and support automation
- AI agents that work with your tools

Why hire a PHP developer from Ecomsolver
Deep PHP experience
PHP sits behind much of our 9+ years of client work, including ecommerce platforms and the AdsGilla.in marketplace, so our developers know its strengths and pitfalls.
Vetted on modern PHP
Candidates are tested on OOP, typed PHP, Composer, testing and security practices, plus their ability to read and improve unfamiliar legacy code.
Part of your workflow
Your developer uses your Jira, Slack and GitHub, writes pull requests for review and joins your standups in an agreed overlap window.
NDA, ownership, replacement
We sign an NDA before code access, you own everything produced, and we replace the developer with a full handover if the fit is wrong.

Hiring PHP developers: FAQs
Ask us on WhatsApp. A real person replies, usually within minutes during working hours.
Ask on WhatsAppCan I hire a PHP developer to maintain an old custom application?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons clients hire a PHP developer from us. The developer reviews the codebase, sets up a local and staging environment, documents how it works and then handles fixes, features and upgrades without forcing a rewrite.
Can your developer upgrade our app to a newer PHP version?
Yes. They run compatibility checks, fix deprecated code, update Composer dependencies and test the app on staging with the new PHP version. The upgrade is released only after you sign off, with a rollback plan ready.
Which PHP frameworks do your developers know?
Our PHP developers work with Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter and CakePHP, as well as plain PHP and custom in-house frameworks. When you share your stack, we match you with developers who have hands-on experience in that framework.
How do I hire a PHP developer from Ecomsolver?
Book a free consultation and share your project, stack and preferred hours. We send matched PHP developer profiles, you interview them, and the approved developer starts after the NDA is signed. You choose full-time, part-time or hourly engagement.
How will we communicate with the developer day to day?
Your developer communicates in English through your Slack or Teams, joins standups and sprint meetings in your time zone overlap, and updates Jira tickets as work moves. You also get weekly demos of completed work if you want them.
