What We Deliver

End-to-end solutions engineered for performance and growth.

Custom Laravel Applications

Bespoke web applications built with Laravel's elegant MVC architecture. From business management systems and customer portals to marketplace platforms, we engineer solutions that map precisely to your domain and workflows.

RESTful API Development

Well-documented, versioned RESTful APIs built with Laravel that power your mobile apps, SPAs, and third-party integrations. We implement proper authentication, rate limiting, resource transformation, and comprehensive API testing.

SaaS & Multi-Tenant Platforms

Multi-tenant SaaS applications with isolated databases, custom domains, subscription billing via Stripe or Paddle, and role-based access control. We architect platforms that onboard new tenants seamlessly and scale horizontally.

Authentication & Authorisation

Secure authentication flows with Laravel Sanctum, Passport, or Fortify. Fine-grained role and permission systems, two-factor authentication, SSO integration, and audit logging — essential for Malta's regulated industries.

Queue Workers & Background Jobs

Offload heavy processing to Laravel queues with Redis or Amazon SQS. Email sending, report generation, data imports, payment processing, and webhook handling — all running reliably in the background without blocking your users.

Laravel + Vue/React Frontends

Full-stack applications pairing Laravel's backend power with modern JavaScript frontends. We use Inertia.js for seamless SPA experiences without a separate API, or Livewire for reactive interfaces without writing JavaScript at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Laravel over other PHP frameworks or languages?

Laravel is the most popular PHP framework for good reason. It provides an elegant, expressive syntax that makes common tasks — routing, authentication, caching, queues, database management — simple without sacrificing power. Its first-party ecosystem (Forge, Vapor, Sanctum, Cashier, Nova) covers most application needs out of the box. For web applications that need rapid development, robust security, and long-term maintainability, Laravel is our recommended choice. It is especially strong for business applications, SaaS platforms, and API-driven architectures.

How much does a Laravel application cost to build in Malta?

A straightforward Laravel web application with authentication, CRUD operations, and basic integrations typically costs between EUR 10,000 and EUR 30,000. A more complex platform — such as a multi-tenant SaaS, a marketplace, or a system with advanced workflows and third-party integrations — ranges from EUR 25,000 to EUR 80,000+. API-only backends that power mobile apps or SPAs typically fall between EUR 12,000 and EUR 40,000. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific requirements during a discovery session.

Can Laravel handle high-traffic applications?

Absolutely. Laravel scales extremely well when properly architected. We implement caching with Redis, queue heavy operations to background workers, use database read replicas for read-heavy workloads, and deploy on auto-scaling infrastructure via Laravel Vapor (serverless on AWS) or containerised setups. Many of Malta's busiest iGaming and fintech platforms run on Laravel. The framework itself is not the bottleneck — architecture and infrastructure decisions are what matter at scale.

Do you use Laravel with a JavaScript frontend or Blade templates?

It depends on the project requirements. For applications that benefit from SPA-like interactivity, we pair Laravel with Vue.js or React via Inertia.js, which gives you a modern frontend experience without the complexity of maintaining a separate API. For simpler applications or admin panels, Laravel Livewire provides reactive components without writing JavaScript. For traditional server-rendered pages, Blade templates with Alpine.js are fast and effective. We recommend the approach that best fits your use case and team capabilities.

Can you migrate our existing PHP application to Laravel?

Yes. We have migrated applications from vanilla PHP, CodeIgniter, Symfony, and WordPress to Laravel. Migrations can be done incrementally — we implement a strangler pattern where new features are built in Laravel while legacy code is gradually replaced. We preserve existing database structures, migrate business logic methodically, and ensure URL redirects protect your SEO rankings. Every migration includes comprehensive testing to verify that existing functionality works correctly in the new framework.
