FAQ

## PHP & Laravel development questions, answered.

Something else? [Ask us directly.](https://www.takshvi.agency/php-development#contact)

Do you work with Laravel or plain PHP?+

Both. We use Laravel for most new applications because it is well documented and easy to hire for. For existing systems we work in whatever is already there, including Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and custom code.

Can you take over a PHP project another developer started?+

Yes. We start with a short code audit so you know what you have, what is risky and what it will cost to continue, before committing to a larger scope.

Can you upgrade our application to PHP 8?+

Yes. We upgrade in stages, add automated tests around the riskiest areas first, and keep the application running throughout, so there is no big-bang switchover.

Can I hire a dedicated PHP developer?+

Yes. Our dedicated developer model gives you a senior PHP or Laravel developer on a monthly basis, working in your tools and sprint process, with a lead developer reviewing their code.

What time zones do you work in?+

We are based in Ahmedabad, India, and schedule our working day to overlap with UK and European business hours, with morning overlap for US East Coast teams.

Who owns the code?+

You do. Source code, documentation and intellectual property transfer to you on payment, and we are happy to sign an NDA before seeing any code.

How much does PHP development cost?+

It depends on scope. Every project is priced in writing after a discovery call, and you approve any change in scope and cost before we start it.
