Experienced development without the full-time commitment

Your application may already be an important part of your business, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need another full-time developer.

Ongoing development & support

Keep your application running and moving forward

If you rely on a PHP or Laravel application to run part of your business, you may not need a full-time developer. I provide ongoing development and maintenance for businesses that need an experienced developer they can call on when something needs fixing, improving or extending.

A typical monthly arrangement can cover:

  • Bug fixes and troubleshooting
  • Small improvements and new features
  • Legacy PHP and Laravel maintenance
  • Dependency and framework updates
  • Code review and technical advice
  • Investigating issues and identifying areas for improvement

We agree a monthly allocation based on what your application needs, with priorities discussed as they arise. The arrangement can be adjusted as your requirements change.
