Laravel — a solid foundation for business applications
Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks. It provides proven building blocks — authentication and permissions, job queues, database handling and APIs — so project time goes into the features that matter to your business rather than building the basics from scratch.
We build Laravel applications from the first version, and we also take over and develop existing systems. We build user interfaces with tools such as Vue.js. If you are still working out what kind of system you need, see the web applications we design for businesses.
What we do
Applications from scratch
We design and program CRM systems, B2B platforms, client portals and admin panels tailored to your processes.
APIs and integrations
We build APIs for mobile apps and partners and connect the system with ERP, payments and external services.
Roles and permissions
We design data access for different user groups: employees, customers and partners.
Process automation
We move repetitive tasks into the application: notifications, reports, documents and background jobs.
Taking over existing applications
We analyse the code of an application written by another developer, fix bugs and keep developing it.
Laravel and PHP upgrades
We move applications to newer versions of the framework and PHP so they stay secure and easy to maintain.
How we ensure application quality
A business application has to run for years and grow with the company. That is why from day one we make sure the code is readable, secure and easy to change.
Well-designed architecture
We split the application into clear modules so new features do not break existing ones.
Security
We use Laravel’s protection mechanisms: data validation, protection against common attacks and access control.
Testing
We cover key processes with tests, so changes can be made without fear of regressions.
Performance
We optimise database queries, caching and background jobs so the application stays fast as data grows.
Documentation
We document the architecture, the API and the deployment process so the system is easy to maintain and develop.
Deployment and maintenance
We set up the environment, backups and monitoring, and take care of updates after launch.
How the process works
1
Requirements analysis
We learn your processes, users and system goals and agree on the scope of the first version.
2
Architecture design
We design the structure of the application, database and integrations, plus wireframes of the key screens.
3
Development in stages
We build the application in short iterations and show progress regularly.
4
Testing
We check features, permissions, performance and security before launch.
5
Launch and growth
We launch the system, migrate the data and extend the application with further modules.
How much does a Laravel application cost?
The cost depends mainly on the scope of the system. The estimate is influenced by:
- the number of modules and user roles,
- the complexity of processes and business rules,
- integrations with other systems,
- the interface design,
- migrating data from your current tools.
We build larger systems in stages: we start with a version containing the most important features and develop it further. We prepare the estimate after analysing the requirements. Request an estimate or get in touch.
Why Appinet
We combine Laravel expertise with experience in e-commerce and integrations, so we build the application with its place among your company’s other systems in mind. We focus on readable code and an architecture ready to grow, and every project starts with understanding your processes, not with choosing a technology.
Frequently asked questions about Laravel applications
Why Laravel instead of off-the-shelf software?
Off-the-shelf software works when your processes are standard. We choose Laravel when a company needs a solution tailored to the way it works, integrations with other systems or full control over its data and development.
Can you take over an application written by someone else?
Yes. We start by reviewing the code and environment, describe the state of the application and the risks, and then fix bugs and develop the system.
Can we start with a simpler version?
Yes. We often start with a version that has the most important features and reaches users quickly, then add further modules in stages.
Can you upgrade an old application to a newer Laravel version?
Yes. We check the dependencies and code, move the application to a newer version of the framework and PHP and test the key features.
Will the application work on phones?
Yes, we design the interface to be responsive. If a mobile app is needed, we prepare an API it can use.
Will you look after the application after launch?
Yes. We maintain and develop applications: updates, backups, monitoring and new features.
