Hire PHP developers for your team in the United Kingdom

You need someone who can read the existing code as well as write a new feature. Ask to see how they handle these practical parts of PHP development.

• Readable codeType declarations, namespaces, Composer and PSR coding standards help the next developer understand and maintain the work.
• Framework experienceLook for depth in Laravel or Symfony, alongside an ability to work in plain PHP and older applications.
• Security controlsPrepared statements, output escaping, CSRF tokens and safe file uploads address common routes into an application. Passwords need proper hashing.
• Tests and analysisPHPUnit or Pest tests and tools such as PHPStan help catch errors before deployment.
• Performance workProfiling slow pages and database queries helps identify where caching or a code change will help.

We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. You direct the priorities, and we agree how the developer will work with your people and systems.

1. 01

   Access

   Start with individual accounts and the least permissions needed. We begin in staging and add production access after the review process is in place.

2. 02

   Reviews

   We review code early so your standards are clear and misunderstandings are caught before they spread through the application.

3. 03

   Progress

   We give you regular updates and demos, with direct access to the people doing the work. You can see a feature and discuss the next change with them.

4. 04

   Measures

   Track merged pull requests, demos and shipped features instead of counting meetings. These give you something concrete to review against the work you requested.

5. 05

   Capacity

   We scale the plan up or down, or pause it, as your needs change. You do not need to keep the same level of capacity throughout.

If your site uses cookies solely for statistics or to adapt its appearance to user preferences, the relevant UK rules allow those uses without consent when visitors receive clear information and an easy way to object. We set up the information and objection route in the site.

Access to personal data from India needs planning: India is not covered by UK adequacy regulations. Where your transfer needs contractual safeguards, agree the appropriate UK contract wording and set up project access around the data the work requires.

A little preparation gives the developer real work to start on and a clear way to get it approved.

• Rank the backlog or write a clear initial set of tasks, so the developer knows what to tackle first.
• Name the skills and seniority you need, including the framework or legacy system involved.
• Set out your working hours, the overlap you need and who will answer questions.
• Define donespecify review rules, expected tests, deployment and who approves the work.
