Skills
What a good PHP developer brings
A useful developer makes the code understandable to the next person who works on it. Look for practical habits you can check in a review, alongside familiarity with the framework and version your application uses.
- Readable PHPUses type declarations, namespaces, Composer and PSR coding standards so other developers can follow and maintain the work.
- Safer inputs and outputsUses prepared statements against SQL injection, escapes output, adds CSRF tokens and handles uploads and passwords safely.
- Automated checksWrites tests with PHPUnit or Pest and runs PHPStan or Psalm to find type errors before deployment.
- Careful changes to older codeAdds tests around existing behaviour before splitting large files into classes and replacing outdated functions step by step.
Use cases
What you can hire PHP developers for
You can bring in PHP developers to maintain an application that supports daily operations, add a customer portal or build an API with Laravel or Symfony. They can also create WordPress plugins, WooCommerce integrations or connect your application to payment, accounting and shipping services through APIs and webhooks.
PHP fits web applications, content sites and stores. Improving an existing PHP system in place is often less risky than a rewrite when the code can be tested and updated. For real-time features or heavy data work, plan for extra tools or a separate service. If your team already uses JavaScript or Python, a new PHP project also adds a language to maintain and hire for.
How hiring works
How hiring works with us
The developers we provide already work on our client projects. We do not find freelancers for your assignment.
- 01
Agree priorities
You control a shared backlog, and we review the order of work together as your needs change.
- 02
Join your workflow
We work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, with overlap hours agreed up front.
- 03
Start with the product
We set up the environment, walk through the product and codebase, and take on a small real task that touches the main parts of the system.
- 04
Document the setup
Share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. We write down gaps found during onboarding.
- 05
Review the work
We use code reviews, tests and documentation to keep changes maintainable as features and fixes move through the backlog.
Time zones
Working hours between the United States and India
India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time and 13h30m ahead of Pacific time in winter. The difference is 1 hour less during daylight saving time; Arizona keeps 12h30m. Agree a fixed overlap window for stand-ups and quick questions, and keep it free of other meetings on both sides.
We use Slack, WhatsApp or email and hold regular calls; you speak directly with the developers doing the work. Tickets with acceptance criteria, screenshots and links reduce back-and-forth. Handover notes on unfinished work, open questions and decisions keep the next person moving when your working hours do not overlap.
Rules
Handling access for United States healthcare work
Healthcare organisations that are covered entities may need a written agreement with a business associate before that associate handles protected health information. If your PHP application involves that arrangement, we document the required safeguards in the agreement and set up individual accounts with only the permissions needed. Access starts in staging; production access follows once the review process is in place. We also provide an NDA and hand code ownership to you.
Vetting
How to judge a PHP developer before you commit
- Ask about SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Look for prepared statements and output escaping suited to where the output appears.
- Set a paid sample taskfix a bug and add a small feature in a legacy file, with a test. Review the change as well as the answer.
- Ask which PHP version their last project used and how they upgraded it. A useful answer describes the steps and problems encountered.
- Ask how they would approach an unfamiliar codebase. Listen for reading routes and the database schema, running the application locally and adding tests before changes.
Checklist
What to have ready before developers start
Prepare these details so the developer has real work to pick up and knows how your team approves it.
- A ranked backlog or a first set of clearly described tasks.
- The skills and seniority needed, including the framework or legacy-system experience the work calls for.
- Your working hours, the overlap window you need and the person who will answer questions.
- A definition of done covering review rules, expected tests, deployment and approval.
Cost & time
What affects the cost of hiring PHP developers
The plan is shaped by the work, the codebase and the amount of direction your team wants to provide.
Seniority
Experienced developers cost more and need less supervision; junior developers suit defined tasks with close review.
Working-hour overlap
More coverage of your working day affects who is available and how the plan is arranged.
Specialist skills and code condition
A niche framework, legacy system or missing documentation narrows the pool and adds onboarding work.
Management
The arrangement changes when a lead plans work and reviews code instead of your team managing the developer directly.

Questions
Asked by businesses in United States
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated PHP developer?
There is no fixed price. The capacity you need, the nature of the backlog and who handles recruitment and employment administration all shape the arrangement. We offer full-time, part-time and monthly hour-based plans. Once we have agreed the scope, ask us for a free quote.
How do I choose the right hiring plan?
Choose a plan around the work you have ready and how regularly it arrives. We can scale capacity up or down, or pause the plan as your needs change. That gives you a way to adjust the arrangement when priorities shift, without treating the initial plan as permanent.
How do I hire remote developers to work with my existing team?
Start with tasks your team is ready to hand over, then agree how the developer will work with your existing developers. We fit into your repositories, tools and review process. Keep early code reviews in place to establish standards and catch misunderstandings before they spread through the codebase.
What is included in the development arrangement?
You get progress updates and regular demos, with direct access to the team. Use those demos alongside merged pull requests and shipped features to see what has moved forward. This gives you concrete work to review and helps you judge progress without counting meetings.
Who owns the code and accounts?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Keep repositories, cloud accounts and third-party services under your organisation, and confirm the assignment of intellectual property in the contract. That keeps the assets your application relies on under your control.
Can you support the application after launch?
Yes. We provide ongoing development for features, fixes and improvements across websites and apps, as well as design support for new pages and interface updates. You can also change the plan, scaling it up, down or pausing it as your needs change.
