Laravel development services, delivered by one senior engineer
Product scoping, Laravel backend, React or Vue frontend, AWS deploy — all by one senior hand. Fixed monthly price. 14-day money-back.
Who this is for
Funded startup or SMB owner who has decided on Laravel and wants a single shop to scope, build, and ship the application.
The pain today
- You cannot find one person who does product, backend, infra, and frontend.
- Three vendors means three schedules, three invoices, and zero ownership.
- Agencies quote $80k and take 6 months to ship what you need in 8 weeks.
- Offshore shops fold when the work turns ambiguous.
The outcome you get
- A full-stack Laravel application shipped by one senior engineer.
- Fixed monthly subscription — no scope-creep invoices.
- 2 to 3 clients at a time means your work is not a rounding error.
- Daily async updates and 2 to 4 day delivery cycles.
What the full-stack Laravel build includes
A typical Laravel development engagement covers product scoping (2 to 5 days of discovery, written spec, wireframes where useful), Laravel backend (API design, Eloquent models, jobs and queues, policies, form requests, tests), frontend integration (React or Vue or Inertia, depending on what fits), authentication and authorization (Sanctum or Fortify plus custom policies), AWS deploy (Pulumi infrastructure, CI/CD, staging parity), queues on Redis with Horizon, observability (Sentry plus structured logs), and post-launch support. What is not included is native mobile (iOS or Android) and long-lived enterprise SSO integrations with SAML — those require a specialist vendor and I will refer one if needed.
Proof the lean model ships: GigEasy in 3 weeks
GigEasy, a Barclays and Bain-backed fintech, needed an investor-ready MVP before a fundraise. The typical 10-week development cycle would have missed the window. I shipped the full application — Laravel API, React frontend, PostgreSQL, Redis queues, Dockerized dev, AWS infrastructure via Pulumi — in 3 weeks. One senior engineer covered product discovery, backend architecture, frontend state, infrastructure, and the investor-demo walkthrough. The math: 3 weeks versus 10 is 70% time saved and roughly $50k to $80k in avoided coordination cost across three vendors. Same pattern applies to your MVP or rebuild.
Timeline, delivery cadence, and guarantees
Kickoff is a paid discovery week: written spec, risk list, architecture diagram, delivery schedule. Delivery happens in 2 to 4 day cycles with async updates via Linear or Jira plus a weekly 30-minute call. Typical timelines: landing site plus auth plus one feature in 2 to 3 weeks, MVP with core CRUD plus payments plus deploy in 4 to 8 weeks, mid-size SaaS with multi-tenant plus background jobs in 10 to 16 weeks. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers the first two weeks — if the engagement is not working, you get a full refund. After that, cancel anytime month to month. Everything you paid for stays yours.
When Laravel is the right call (and when it is not)
Laravel is the right call for SaaS applications, fintech back-ends, multi-tenant admin dashboards, internal tools, and content-heavy applications where the team knows PHP or where speed to first ship matters. Laravel is not the right call for real-time-heavy products (WebRTC, live collaboration at scale — Node or Elixir is better), embedded systems, or machine-learning pipelines where Python beats PHP on ecosystem. I will tell you during discovery if Laravel is not the right fit and refer or switch stacks.

Frequently asked questions
The questions prospects ask before they book.
- How much does a Laravel project cost?
- The Applications subscription is $3,499 per month, flat. A typical MVP ships in 4 to 8 weeks for a total of $3,499 to $7,000. Larger SaaS builds run 10 to 16 weeks.
- Do you sign NDAs?
- Yes. NDA is standard in the terms, and I can sign a separate one if your legal team requires it before discovery.
- Can I keep the code if I cancel?
- Yes. Work Made for Hire — every commit is yours from day one. You get the repository, deploy keys, and documentation when you cancel.
- Do you work with my existing team?
- Often, yes. I have worked inside teams at bolttech, Cuez, and GigEasy — I fit into the existing process rather than forcing mine. Pairing, code review, and handoff to in-house engineers are part of the job.
- What if I need a frontend specialist too?
- I cover React, Next.js, and Vue personally. If you need a dedicated design system team (Figma plus component library at scale) I will refer a partner and coordinate.
