Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. PHP 8.3 is actively maintained, performs comparably to Node.js for most UK business workloads, and Laravel provides everything a UK application needs: authentication, queues, REST API, and a mature testing framework. WordPress powers 43% of UK websites. The UK PHP talent pool is deep and cost-competitive.
UK GDPR requires: consent-based data collection, AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, right to erasure (soft delete and hard delete strategy), audit trail logging (who accessed what and when), data retention schedules enforced via Laravel scheduled commands, and ICO-compliant cookie consent that technically blocks scripts.
Yes. We start with a code review identifying vulnerabilities, architectural issues, and upgrade blockers — then deliver a phased migration plan. PHP 7 to 8 upgrades typically take 2–6 weeks for medium-sized applications.
Yes. GoCardless is widely used by UK subscription and SaaS businesses for bank-to-bank direct debit payments. We implement the GoCardless API (mandates, payments, webhooks) within Laravel — including retry logic and failed payment notification flows.
