PHP Staff Augmentation that feels in-house

We plug into your rituals, tooling, and product vision—no hand-holding required.

Embedded Delivery

From day one, our engineers join your standups, mirror your code review cadence, and document decisions in the tools you already use. That keeps velocity steady even as the team scales.

Architecture Confidence

We pair senior PHP leads with mid-level developers so architectural decisions and code quality evolve together. Expect thoughtful database design, caching strategies, and resilient integrations.

Security First

Our teams follow OWASP guidelines, enforce secure defaults, and leverage community best practices from PHP core and Drupal security advisories.

What we commonly deliver

  • Replatforming Magento 1 stores to headless builds with WooCommerce or Laravel-based commerce engines.
  • Building modular WordPress multisite networks that marketing teams can manage without engineering bottlenecks.
  • Designing REST and GraphQL APIs with automated contract testing for mobile and SPA consumers.
  • Integrating PHP backends with messaging queues, payment gateways, and analytics platforms.

How collaboration works

  1. Discovery workshop and architecture review
  2. Curated shortlist of PHP candidates within 5 business days
  3. Your interviews, our technical vetting, one blended decision
  4. Pilot sprint with explicit success metrics and retro

We stay involved after onboarding with delivery managers who monitor velocity, blockers, and team health.

Case study · Northwind Rentals

Migrating a legacy equipment marketplace without losing momentum.

A U.S. industrial equipment marketplace relied on a decade-old PHP monolith that slowed down every marketing experiment. We assembled a blended squad of two senior Laravel engineers, one WordPress specialist, QA automation, and a delivery manager. Within six weeks we stabilized the existing stack, introduced automated deployments, and mapped a gradual service-oriented migration.

  • 23% faster page loads after optimizing caching, image handling, and database queries.
  • Zero downtime during a high-traffic product launch thanks to blue/green deployments.
  • Marketing autonomy delivered by decoupling CMS content blocks and training the in-house team.
