Understanding

What is PHP?

PHP is a programming language executed on a server: it receives a request from your browser, fetches or records information, then returns a page ready to display. It runs WordPress and a large share of the sites that handle forms, user accounts or shopping baskets. Recent versions impose stricter data typing, which limits logic errors once the project is live. For your site, that means code we can develop without rewriting everything for each new function requested.

What is PHP used for?

PHP is used to build the part of your site that reacts to an action: validating a form, managing a customer account, calculating a price, recording an order. It remains the natural choice as soon as the project rests on WordPress or has to connect to it. For an application exchanging continuously with several external services or handling a real-time data flow, a back end in Node.js often meets that precise need better. PHP keeps its appeal for everything to do with a content site or an existing shop to develop.

Use cases

What we develop in PHP

PHP projects we deliver regularly, from the targeted plugin to the complete back office.

Custom business back office

In PHP we develop a back office that centralises a consultancy's files: tracking of assignments, deadlines and documents attached to each client, with different access rights according to each team member's role.

Custom WordPress extension

In PHP we code a WordPress extension that answers a precise need absent from the existing ecosystem: a specific price calculation, a form with conditional logic or an automated export to a management tool already used in house.

Secure patient portal

In PHP we build a patient area linked to a paramedical practice's website: appointment booking, automatic reminders and documents shared ahead of a consultation, with protected access specific to each registered person.

Stock management

We develop a PHP stock management module for a fashion retailer with several points of sale, connected to the till and to the online shop so that the stock displayed online matches what is actually available in store.

Connected hotel booking

In PHP we develop the bridge between a hotel's website and its existing booking engine, to display up-to-date availability without manual re-entry every time a room changes status in the internal tool.

Industrial ERP connector

In PHP we write the connector that links an industrial SME's website to its production management software, to publish the available references automatically without a team re-entering each product sheet by hand.

Ecosystem

The technologies that pair well with PHP

PHP pairs first with WordPress, which it runs natively, then with WooCommerce as soon as a shop is added to the site. On the database side, it works with MySQL on almost all our projects of this type. We add Tailwind CSS when a custom interface has to depart from an existing theme, without ever mixing a PHP back office with a front end designed for an entirely different language.

Our expertise

PHP agency for your custom sites and back offices

In PHP we develop sites, extensions and back offices suited to your business: scoping the needs, object-oriented architecture, development and testing, then production release monitored through to the project's complete stabilisation.

Plain PHP or going through a framework?

We choose a structured framework as soon as a project goes beyond a few isolated functions, to keep code readable and able to evolve. A targeted fix on an existing WordPress site remains written in plain PHP, with no complexity added for a one-off need.

Budget and lead times

Every PHP development is priced on quotation, according to the scope agreed and the connections to your existing tools. Allow 21 to 30 days for a targeted extension, and up to 21 to 60 days for a complete back office with several user profiles. The exact amount is confirmed after scoping, never before.

Our method

From idea to launch

Six steps, from the first conversation to launch — and the support that follows. The process is the same for an e-commerce site or a mobile app; only the deliverables change.

01
Scoping and specifications

Scoping and specifications for your project

We start from your objectives, not from a list of features. Scope, key user journeys, technical constraints and budget: everything is set down in writing before the first line of code. You know what you will get, when, and at what price.

02
UX / UI designs

UX / UI designs approved before development

You see your site or your app before it exists. We design every screen, test the user journeys and refine until navigation feels obvious. An interface approved at the design stage means development work that never goes to waste.

03
Custom development

Development with the right technology

WordPress or WooCommerce for a site you manage yourself, Next.js for a platform, Flutter or Swift for a mobile app: the technology follows your need, never the other way round. We ship regular test builds so you can follow progress in real conditions.

04
Testing and acceptance

Real-world testing and acceptance

Every build is tested on the browsers and devices your customers actually use: screen sizes, OS versions, unstable connections. We fix issues before your users run into them, not after they report them.

05
Go-live

Go-live and launch

We handle the launch end to end: hosting, domain name, redirects in the case of a redesign, analytics tools — and store publication when the project is an app. Nothing is left on your plate on launch day.

06
Maintenance and new features

Maintenance, updates and new features

A website, like an app, keeps evolving: security updates, version upgrades, new features as your feedback comes in. An optional annual plan covers monitoring and support work, and the code belongs to you in every case.

Frequently asked questions

PHP agency FAQ

The questions company directors ask us most often before launching a development in PHP.

01How much does a PHP development with Skyward cost?

A PHP project has no fixed rate, because two needs that look similar rarely call for the same work. The budget depends on the nature of the project: a targeted extension added to an existing WordPress site costs markedly less than a complete back office developed from scratch. We list with you the functions expected, the connections to your existing tools and the level of security required before pricing anything at all. Every PHP development is then priced on quotation, with a precise breakdown of the items covered, sent within 24 hours of that first scoping.

02How long does it take to deliver a PHP project?

A targeted extension or module, added to an existing site, is developed in 21 to 30 days once the specification has been validated. A complete back office, with several user profiles and connections to your internal tools, calls for closer to 21 to 60 days, and up to 60 days if the scope covers several interdependent modules. The precise schedule is set once scoping is complete, with regular checkpoints to validate each function before it goes live. This pace leaves time to test each function before opening it to end users.

03Is PHP outdated compared with Node.js?

No, but the two do not answer the same need. PHP remains relevant for a content site, a shop or anything resting on WordPress, with code executed on each page. Node.js suits an API queried continuously by several applications or real-time data exchanges better. We choose one or the other according to the actual nature of your project, never out of habit or from a developer's personal preference. A well-built WordPress site and a Node.js API can in fact coexist on the same project, each on its own ground.

04Can you take over an existing PHP project?

Yes, we regularly take over PHP code written by another team. The initial audit covers the version of the language used, the libraries still maintained and the known security flaws, often the most fragile point on an older project left without follow-up. This step separates what can stay as it is from what has to be reworked before adding a new function. You receive this report before any decision, so you can choose in full knowledge of the facts. This audit remains free when it precedes a project entrusted to our agency.

05Do you offer maintenance once it is live?

Yes, in the form of an optional annual package, whose content depends on the actual scope of your project: version updates, fixes for reported bugs and monitoring of service availability. A back office managing client files deserves regular follow-up, because an outage there often blocks the work of several teams at once. This package is never imposed: the code belongs to you from delivery onwards, whatever you choose afterwards for the rest of the project. You decide each year whether to renew it or not, with no automatic commitment.

06Does the code developed in PHP belong to us?

Yes, without reservation. Code repository, technical documentation and hosting access are handed to you from delivery onwards, with no clause tying you to our agency in the long run. For a back office centralising sensitive files, this independence matters particularly, since it lets you entrust the rest of the project to another technical team if you wish, without depending on a single developer who alone would know how it works. This rule applies from the first line of code delivered, not only at the end of the project.

07Is a PHP site well ranked on Google?

Clean PHP code, with no needless queries, reduces the server's response time, a criterion Google takes into account in its ranking. This is particularly true for a WordPress site weighed down by badly coded extensions, where each page triggers more queries than necessary. We check this point at the delivery of every project. The rest of search visibility depends above all on the content published, work we can take on if you wish. A fast site is never enough on its own to rank a page well on a competitive query.
