Find developers

Freelance PHP developers

Half of Italy’s web infrastructure runs on PHP: internal tools, portals, e-commerce, sites. Finding someone to maintain and evolve them is often more urgent than rewriting them. On Araknet you find freelance PHP developers for new projects and — above all — existing code.

What you can have done

  • Maintenance and evolution of existing PHP applications
  • Safe upgrades from old PHP versions (5.x, 7.x)
  • Custom web management tools with Laravel
  • Integrations between your PHP system and ERP, e-commerce, APIs
  • Rescuing projects abandoned by the previous supplier

What it costs

Orders of magnitude: work on existing code from €500, PHP version upgrades €2,000–8,000, Laravel web management tools €10,000–35,000.

Frequently asked questions

My application runs on old PHP: is that a problem?

Yes, twice over: security (old versions no longer get fixes) and suppliers (fewer and fewer developers accept them). Upgrading is a bounded project and almost always cheaper than a rewrite.

Is PHP outdated?

No: modern PHP with Laravel is productive, fast and has the largest developer pool in Italy. For web management tools and portals it remains one of the most pragmatic choices.
