PHP Done Properly, Not Just Quickly
PHP powers a large share of the web and carries a reputation earned by its worst code. RASPSYS builds Laravel and Symfony applications with the structure and tests that reputation assumes are missing.

How We Work
Our PHP Development Delivery Approach
A structured engagement model that de-risks delivery and gets working output into your team's hands early.
-
Scope
We agree the requirement, the users and what a first shippable slice looks like.
-
Design
Architecture, data model and interface contracts settled before building.
-
Build
Iterative development with automated tests written alongside.
-
Verify
Performance, security and cross-browser or cross-device testing.
-
Hand Over
Documentation, deployment config and team enablement.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we are asked most often about PHP Development.
Not with a rewrite. We add characterisation tests around the area we are about to change, so behaviour is pinned before anything moves. Coverage grows where work happens rather than through a separate testing project nobody funds.
Laravel for speed of delivery and a large hiring pool; Symfony for long-lived enterprise systems where explicit configuration and component reuse matter more. For most business applications Laravel is the pragmatic choice.
Yes, and you should: PHP 7 is end-of-life, so you are running unpatched. The upgrade is mostly deprecated functions and type changes. We do it behind tests, incrementally, and usually find performance improves noticeably as a side effect.
For web applications and APIs, yes. Modern PHP with a framework is fast, well-tooled and inexpensive to host and staff. The reputation problem comes from a decade-old codebase style, not the language as it is today.

What You Get
Built Around People, Not Just Platforms
Software projects fail on communication far more often than on technology. These are the outcomes our clients see, and the commitments behind them.
If that is how you want to work with a delivery partner, the next step is a short conversation — no pitch deck, no obligation.
Clients who stay
90%
Of RASPSYS clients continue working with us beyond their first engagement, most on an ongoing support or development arrangement.
Lower running cost
35%
Average reduction in ongoing admin overhead once we consolidate duplicated automation and strip out the manual steps nobody should still be doing.
Faster turnaround
2 weeks
Typical time from scope call to a working first release, because we ship in slices rather than disappearing for a quarter.
Adoption that holds
92%
Weekly active use six months after go-live, by designing around how your team actually works rather than around the platform defaults.
Support load reduced
40%
Fewer inbound tickets after self-service and documentation replace the questions that kept coming back.
