FAQ

PHP Development — Common Questions

How much does a PHP web application cost?

+

PHP projects at CodeMiners start from $800 for a simple website or API. A full custom web application with authentication, database and admin panel typically ranges from $2,500 to $15,000.

Should I use Laravel or plain PHP?

+

We recommend Laravel for almost all new projects — it's the dominant PHP framework with exceptional tooling. Plain PHP is only appropriate for small scripts or when maintaining a legacy codebase that already avoids a framework.

Can you migrate an old PHP 5 or PHP 7 app to PHP 8?

+

Yes. We perform PHP version migrations as a structured upgrade — fixing deprecated functions, type declarations and namespace conflicts. We also add automated tests to catch regressions during the upgrade.

Do you build custom WordPress plugins and themes?

+

Yes. We build bespoke WordPress plugins, Gutenberg blocks and child themes to extend WordPress beyond what off-the-shelf plugins provide. We also convert Figma designs to pixel-perfect WordPress themes.
