A web team that builds PHP properly and supports it afterward
We start by mapping what the site or application actually needs to do, then choose the right approach: a CMS like WordPress, a custom Laravel build, or a hybrid. This is where we settle the database schema, hosting, and PHP version so later work does not fight early shortcuts.
For custom work we use Laravel and a supported PHP version rather than raw legacy code. That gives you routing, an ORM, migrations, and a templating layer out of the box, which keeps the codebase readable and faster to change as your needs grow.
PHP applications fail in predictable ways: SQL injection, cross-site scripting, weak file uploads, and exposed credentials. We use prepared statements, input validation, output escaping, and environment-based secrets so these are handled before the site goes live, not patched after an incident.
We test on a staging environment that mirrors production, then deploy through a repeatable process so releases are predictable. After launch we handle PHP and dependency updates, security patches, and backups, since an unmaintained PHP site is where most problems start.

Dcrayons is a digital marketing agency founded in 2016, with our HQ in Delhi and a US entity, working across SEO, PPC, social, content, e-commerce, and web. On the PHP side that means we can build a custom Laravel application or a WordPress site, then keep it secure and maintained, while the same team handles the SEO and content that decide whether anyone finds it. You get the development and the surrounding work from one place instead of stitching separate vendors together.
We build with modern PHP and Laravel, and we also work on existing WordPress and legacy PHP codebases rather than insisting on a rebuild
Security is part of the build, not an add-on: prepared statements, validation, escaping, and managed secrets are standard
Real questions people ask Dcrayons about php development. Honest answers, no jargon.
PHP is a server-side scripting language that runs a large share of the web, including WordPress, which powers a significant portion of all websites. Modern PHP (version 8 and above) is fast and actively maintained, and frameworks like Laravel make it a practical choice for custom applications. It remains a sensible option, especially when you want a large hosting ecosystem and a deep pool of developers.
WordPress suits content-heavy sites and blogs where you want an editor and plugins out of the box. Laravel suits custom applications with their own logic, user accounts, dashboards, or integrations, where a generic CMS would get in the way. We recommend the option after understanding what the site needs to do, rather than defaulting to one for every project.
Yes. We work on existing WordPress and legacy PHP codebases, including upgrades from old, unsupported PHP versions that have become slow or insecure. We review the current code, flag the security and performance issues, and plan the upgrade so the site keeps working through the change rather than breaking on the day of the switch.
We use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection, validate input and escape output to stop cross-site scripting, restrict file uploads, and keep credentials in environment configuration rather than in the code. We also keep PHP and its dependencies patched after launch, since most real-world breaches hit outdated, unmaintained sites.
It depends on scope. A standard WordPress site is faster than a custom Laravel application with user accounts, payments, and integrations. We give a realistic timeline after the scoping stage, once the features, database design, and integrations are clear, rather than quoting a fixed number before we know what is involved.
Yes. We help set up appropriate hosting for the PHP version your site needs, and we offer ongoing maintenance covering security patches, dependency and PHP updates, and backups. This matters because an unmaintained PHP site gradually falls behind on security and compatibility, which is where most avoidable problems come from.
