Laravel development overview
We recommend Laravel when you want a stable, well-understood framework for business-critical web applications, SaaS products and internal tools that will be supported for years.
For many clients, Laravel becomes the “core system” behind web apps, mobile apps and internal tools. We design it with that long-term role in mind from day one.
What we build with Laravel
We use Laravel for business-critical systems where stability, security and day-to-day maintainability matter more than chasing hype.
Web apps
Role-based web applications, customer portals and partner dashboards where users manage data, workflows and approvals.
SaaS
Multi-tenant SaaS platforms built with Laravel, including subscriptions, billing, roles and tenant-aware data access.
APIs
REST/JSON APIs, webhook handlers and integration layers that connect internal systems, mobile apps and third-party services.
Modernisation
Rebuilding or refactoring older PHP/CodeIgniter apps into modern Laravel applications with cleaner architecture and tooling.

Discuss your Laravel application scope →How Laravel projects work with QalbIT
We treat each Laravel application as a long-term asset, not just a one-off build, and our process reflects that.
1–2 weeks
Understand your business processes, users, existing systems and constraints. For existing apps we review the current Laravel/PHP codebase and infrastructure.
Key outcome: Clear goals, key modules and a realistic first release or stabilisation plan.
1–3 weeks
Design Laravel modules, domain models, relationships, queues and integrations. Decide what lives in the core app vs. separate services.
Key outcome: Architecture blueprint, database design and technical plan signed off.
4–10+ weeks (scope-dependent)
Build features using Laravel best practices – controllers, services, jobs, events and policies – and integrate with frontends, mobile apps and external systems.
Key outcome: Working Laravel application in staging or production, covering the agreed scope.
2–4 weeks
Add tests where they provide leverage, tune performance (queries, caching, queues) and harden security, backup and observability.
Key outcome: Stable, observable Laravel application ready for real-world usage.
Ongoing, month-to-month
Ongoing maintenance, new features, performance work and technical guidance delivered via retainers or a dedicated team model.
Key outcome: A Laravel platform that stays healthy and evolves with your roadmap.

Contact our expertsLaravel is a modern PHP framework designed for building secure, maintainable web applications and APIs quickly. It provides clear structure, built-in features such as authentication, queues and caching, and a large ecosystem, which makes it a strong choice for long-term business applications and SaaS products.
We use Laravel for custom web applications, SaaS platforms, internal tools, customer and partner portals, reporting dashboards and API backends. Many of these systems involve multiple roles, complex workflows, integrations and ongoing roadmaps.
Yes. We frequently take over existing Laravel and older PHP or CodeIgniter applications. We typically start with a technical audit, stabilise critical issues, improve performance and security, and then move into new feature development or phased modernisation.
Laravel is PHP-based and excellent for teams that prefer its conventions, ecosystem and hosting options. Node.js and NestJS are TypeScript/JavaScript-first. In practice, Laravel is often ideal for custom business applications and SaaS products, while Node.js / NestJS works well when you want a single TypeScript stack across frontend and backend. We recommend a stack based on your team, existing systems and roadmap.
Yes. Laravel is widely used for SaaS products and multi-tenant systems. We design tenancy explicitly – for example, tenant-aware schemas or separate databases – and combine Laravel’s features with billing, roles, permissions and audit logging to support subscription-based products.
We design Laravel applications with efficient database queries, proper indexing, caching, queues for heavy tasks and sensible infrastructure sizing. We also measure performance in realistic scenarios, add monitoring and gradually optimise bottlenecks as your traffic grows.
We use Laravel’s authentication and authorisation features together with secure coding practices: HTTPS everywhere, role-based access control, input validation, protection against common web attacks, secure secrets management and regular updates of dependencies. For sensitive domains we align with your compliance requirements as well.
Yes. Laravel works very well as an API backend for React and Next.js frontends, and for mobile apps built with Flutter or native stacks. We expose REST/JSON APIs or webhooks from Laravel and coordinate closely with your frontend or mobile teams so integration is predictable and well documented.
We can plan and execute migrations from older PHP or CodeIgniter systems to Laravel. This usually involves auditing the current application, designing a modern Laravel architecture, and then moving features and data in phases rather than attempting a risky “big bang” rewrite.
You can start by sharing your current situation – whether you have an idea, an MVP or a running system – along with your goals and constraints. We then schedule a discovery call, propose a Laravel-based approach, and provide a phased plan with timelines and budget ranges so you can make an informed decision.
