What PHP Development Means at Moxace
PHP development at Moxace means the modern language: PHP 8 with strict types, enums, attributes, and JIT, used well inside Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, or framework-free codebases. Most of the web still runs on PHP, and most of it was never given senior attention.
Bring us in for new PHP products where team skills or ecosystem fit make it the right call, for legacy PHP applications that need structured modernization, or for WordPress and e-commerce systems that have outgrown their plugins and hacks.
What Every PHP Development Engagement Includes
Scoped in writing before the first sprint. If it is not on this list, we will tell you exactly what it costs to add it.
Modern PHP standards
PHP 8.x with strict types, PSR standards, and static analysis via PHPStan or Psalm wired into CI.
Legacy modernization
Old PHP codebases upgraded in shippable increments: dependencies first, then architecture, then framework where it pays.
Performance work
OPcache tuning, query optimization, and caching layers that make PHP systems fast without a rewrite.
Security hardening
Injection-proof queries, session handling, uploads, and dependency audits against the OWASP checklist PHP actually needs.
API layers on PHP cores
REST and GraphQL interfaces added to PHP systems so mobile apps and SPAs get clean contracts.
Testing introductions
Pest and PHPUnit suites installed on untested codebases, starting with the paths that generate revenue.
What You Can Build With PHP Development
Representative outcomes our PHP Development teams deliver.
Custom web applications
PHP-built products where framework choice follows the team, not the trend cycle.
WordPress at scale
Custom themes, plugins, and headless setups for publishers and enterprises beyond what plugins offer.
E-commerce systems
WooCommerce and custom storefronts with payment, tax, and fulfillment integrations that survive audits.
Legacy rescue projects
Untested, undocumented PHP systems stabilized, secured, and handed back with a maintenance path.
How the engagement runs
From first call to handover, with a working build to see every two weeks.
- 01
Scoping call
One hour on the system and its history, ending with a fixed written quote.
✓ step 01 complete - 02
Audit or architecture
Existing codebases get a written audit with a modernization plan; new builds get a documented blueprint.
✓ step 02 complete - 03
Two-week build sprints
Working increments deployed to staging every two weeks, demoed live.
✓ step 03 complete - 04
Quality gates
Static analysis, test suites, and security checks running in CI on every merge.
✓ step 04 complete - 05
Handover
Documented code, deployment runbooks, and full source and IP ownership transferred to you.
✓ step 05 complete
The adjacent stack we bring
PHP Development never ships alone. These are the pieces we routinely wire around it.
PHP 8.x
Strict types, enums, attributes, and the JIT where it helps.
Composer ecosystem
Dependency management with audit tooling in the pipeline.
Laravel and symfony
Framework work covered by their dedicated pages; used here where the project calls for them.
PHPStan level high
Static analysis treated as a merge gate, not an aspiration.
Pest
Testing installed progressively on the paths that matter first.
AI inside the build
Where models genuinely earn their place in PHP Development work. Each ships wired to your data and sharpens as usage compounds.
Content intelligence
Auto-tagging, summarization, and moderation layered into CMS and publishing workflows.

Every build ships with
Standard inclusions on every engagement. Nine things you never have to ask for.
100% source code, full IP
The complete unencrypted codebase transfers to you, with documentation and deployment scripts.
Named senior team
The engineers who scope your build are the ones who write it. No bait-and-switch staffing.
Architecture blueprint
A documented system design covering data model, integrations, and scaling path, written before the first sprint.
Sprint demos every 2 weeks
A working build demonstrated every two weeks, so you steer continuously instead of waiting for a reveal.
QA and security testing
Automated and manual QA on every build, plus a security checklist on each release candidate.
CI/CD and monitoring
Pipelines, cloud deployment, alerting, and observability configured from day one, so launch is a rehearsed event.
Fixed written pricing
A scoped quote in writing before work starts. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices mid-build.
60 days support
A post-launch support window covering bug fixes and environment issues, standard on every engagement.
Handover documentation
Code, infrastructure, and runbooks documented so any team, ours or yours, can pick the product up cleanly.
Hire a dedicated team or run a Fixed-scope project
Both tracks deliver the same PHP Development quality bar. The difference is control, timeline, and how the work is priced.
| Criteria | Dedicated Team (Hire) | Fixed-Scope Project |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Ongoing PHP Development work with evolving priorities | A defined outcome with a clear finish line |
| Pricing | Predictable monthly team rate | Fixed written quote after scoping |
| Team | Engineers embedded in your rituals and tooling | Our PM, our process, demos every two weeks |
| Flexibility | Reprioritize the backlog any week | Change requests estimated and scheduled |
| Source code and IP | 100% ownership on delivery | 100% ownership on delivery |
| Start time | Team in place within 1-2 weeks | Kickoff within days of the signed scope |
