PHP Development Services | BirajTech

PHP Powers 75% of the Web. We Build the Other Solutions That Matter.

WordPress runs 43% of all websites. Facebook scaled to 3 billion users. Wikipedia serves 20 billion page views monthly. Slack handles millions of messages daily. What connects them? PHP.

PHP is not outdated—it evolved. PHP 8.3 delivers performance matching Node.js. Modern frameworks like Laravel and Symfony rival any technology stack. After building PHP applications for nearly a decade, we have learned this: businesses choose PHP because it works, scales affordably, and gets products to market fast.

What We Actually Build With PHP

E-commerce Platforms Processing Real Revenue

We have built e-commerce systems handling $500K+ monthly transactions. Our Laravel-based platforms integrate payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay), inventory management, order processing, and customer analytics.

Content Management Systems That Scale

Custom CMS platforms managing 100,000+ content pieces. We build using WordPress (for familiar interfaces), custom Laravel solutions (for unique workflows), or headless CMS architectures (for multi-channel publishing).

Enterprise Web Applications

Business management systems serving 10,000+ users concurrently. We build CRM platforms, project management tools, HR systems, and custom business solutions using Laravel and Symfony frameworks.

RESTful APIs and Integrations

APIs handling 50,000+ requests daily. We build microservices architectures, integrate third-party services (payment, shipping, CRM), and create webhook systems for real-time data exchange.

Why PHP Still Wins in 2025 (Based on 400+ Projects)

Development Speed: 30-50% Faster Than Alternatives

Laravel's built-in features eliminate weeks of development time. What takes Java developers 3 months, we deliver in 6-8 weeks using PHP frameworks with authentication, routing, and ORM pre-built.

Cost Reality: 40% Lower Total Ownership

Based on actual client billing across 400+ projects, PHP development averages $8,000-$12,000 less than equivalent .NET or Java projects. Lower development costs plus cheaper hosting equals significant savings.

Massive Talent Pool: 18.2% of Developers Worldwide

Finding PHP developers is easier and more affordable than finding specialists in niche frameworks. This matters for long-term maintenance and team scaling.

Hosting Flexibility: $5/Month to Enterprise Scale

PHP runs on shared hosting ($5/month) to dedicated servers ($500/month) to cloud infrastructure at any scale. Your hosting costs match your actual traffic, not your technology choice.

Performance Facts: PHP 8.3 Matches Node.js

JIT compilation in PHP 8.3 delivers 2-3x performance improvement over PHP 7. We have measured API response times under 50ms with proper optimization and caching strategies.
