When the logic matters more than the content
Plenty of projects arrive described as websites but are really applications: quoting engines, booking systems, portals, internal tools. Forcing those into a CMS usually means fighting the platform for the life of the project. Laravel gives us a proper framework for that kind of work while keeping development quick.
We use it as a standalone application, as the API behind a Next.js front end, or as the backend for a mobile app. Our own client support system runs on Laravel, so we work with it daily rather than occasionally.
What we build with Laravel
Custom applications
Applications where the business logic is the point: pricing rules, approval workflows, scheduling, reporting. Things a CMS would fight you on.
APIs for front ends and apps
REST and GraphQL APIs designed to be consumed by a Next.js site, a mobile app, or both at once, with versioning and documentation.
Queues and scheduled work
Background jobs, imports, exports and scheduled tasks that need to run reliably and tell you when they do not.
Third-party integrations
Payment providers, CRMs, ERPs and supplier feeds, including the ones with badly documented APIs and unhelpful sandbox environments.
Admin tooling
Internal dashboards and admin panels for the people who run the business day to day, built around how they actually work.
Authentication and permissions
Roles, permissions and multi-tenant access, including single sign-on where you need to fit an existing identity provider.
Hosting and databases
Laravel applications generally run on Upsun, DigitalOcean or AWS, with PostgreSQL or MySQL behind them. We favour open-source databases you can move between providers rather than managed platforms that get expensive as you grow. We can host and maintain it for you, or hand it over with documentation.
