Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. PHP powers 77% of websites including Facebook, Wikipedia, and Slack. PHP 8.x brought major improvements: JIT compilation, union types, named arguments, and fibers. Modern PHP with Symfony or Laravel is fast, type-safe, and enterprise-ready.
Symfony is ideal for complex enterprise applications with long lifecycles — it's more structured and component-based. Laravel is better for rapid development and smaller-to-medium projects — it's more opinionated and developer-friendly. We help you choose based on your specific needs.
Yes, we specialize in PHP modernization. We upgrade from older PHP versions to 8.x, migrate from legacy frameworks to Symfony/Laravel, refactor procedural code to OOP, and implement modern practices like automated testing and CI/CD.
We follow PSR standards, use static analysis (PHPStan/Psalm), enforce coding standards (PHP-CS-Fixer), write comprehensive tests (PHPUnit), conduct code reviews, and use CI/CD to catch issues early. Code quality is non-negotiable.
PHP development in Moldova costs 40-60% less than Western Europe. A senior PHP developer costs $30-50/hour compared to $80-150/hour in Western Europe. Contact us for a detailed project estimate.
