Laravel development services
Idiomatic Laravel, straight from the source. We've been building production applications since 2015: from focused small projects to platforms scaling to tens of thousands of users.
What we do.
Built to Laravel standards
We follow the conventions and best practices from the Laravel team themselves. Form requests, policies, service classes, jobs, used where they belong, not where they're convenient.
Eloquent done right
Relationships, scopes, and accessors modeled correctly from day one. N+1 queries caught before they reach production.
Queue and job processing
Background jobs, scheduled tasks, and queued notifications handled properly, with Horizon or native queue workers, depending on your scale.
Authentication and authorization
Laravel Sanctum or Breeze for auth, SSO via SAML or OpenID Connect when your organization needs it, and Gates and Policies for fine-grained access control. No bolted-on role systems.
Testing included
Feature and unit tests for critical paths written as part of the build. PHPUnit or Pest. Your call.
Yours at handoff
Full source code, deployment configuration, and local dev setup. Everything is yours: no dependency on us to keep it running.
Want us to handle hosting too? We can deploy and manage it for you, or hand everything over to run on your own infrastructure. Your call, no lock-in either way.
A decade of Laravel, no shortcuts.
We started with Laravel 5 and have built through every major release since. Small, focused apps. Platforms that had to grow. APIs that had to stay up. We know where the framework shines and where the temptation to cut corners leads you six months later.
We don't invent our own patterns. We follow what the Laravel team teaches: clean service classes, proper Eloquent relationships, form requests instead of controller bloat, policies instead of scattered auth checks. The result is an app your next developer can open without needing a guide.

Questions, answered straight.
Common questions about this service.
Do you follow Laravel best practices?
Yes, straight from the Laravel team. We use form requests for validation, policies for authorization, service classes for business logic, and Eloquent modeled correctly from day one. No custom frameworks layered on top of what Laravel already gives you.
How long have you been building with Laravel?
Since 2015, back when it was still on version 5. We've shipped apps that started small and grew to tens of thousands of active users, and we know where the scaling pressure points show up before they become problems.
Can you rebuild an existing application?
Yes. Application rebuilds are a significant part of what we do, taking apps that have grown painful to work in and reshaping them with clean architecture and current Laravel conventions. We assess what to keep, what to rewrite, and where the real complexity lives.
What does a Laravel app cost?
Fees start at $30k for an end-to-end app, about what many agencies bill in a single month on retainer. Why so low for custom software? We're just two senior developers making stuff happen. We're not invoicing you for an SDR team, salespeople, a project manager, a UI expert, or a billing department. You pay for engineering, and engineering is what you get.
Why choose Periapse over other Laravel shops?
We're small and agile on purpose. We work nights and weekends to deliver a narrow product that does exactly what you need, nothing bolted on to pad the invoice. Nothing is outsourced: the engineers you talk to write the code. We also audit and maintain existing Laravel apps, not just build new ones. And if we think we're not the right fit, we'll say so and look through our partner network for another independent senior developer who can probably take your project on.
What does testing look like?
We write feature and unit tests for critical paths as part of the build, not as a separate line item. PHPUnit and Pest are both fine. We default to Pest on new projects.
What do I get when the build is done?
Full source code, deployment configuration, and local dev setup instructions. The app runs without us: no dependency on the subscription to keep it live. Stay on if you want us to keep building; hand it off if you want to move it somewhere else.
How do I host it?
Your call. Run it on your own infrastructure with the deployment configuration we hand over, or let us host it for you. If we host it, we also do passive bug fixing: when exceptions come in, we see them and fix them, often before you'd have noticed. Hosting is a separate monthly fee, entirely optional, and you can take the app in-house whenever you want.
We're your team for as long as you need.
Subscribe to the engineers doing the work. We handle your build queue (new features, fixes, rescues) month to month. No long contracts, just direct access to the people who know your codebase.
-
Direct access
You work directly with the engineers actually doing the build, the people who know your codebase, reachable by email.
-
Month to month
No long contracts, no minimum commitment. Stay subscribed while you need us, cancel when you don't. Come back whenever.
-
Everything is yours
All the code, all the configuration. No proprietary tools that create a dependency on us. Any developer can pick it up after we're gone.
