How does Intelivita develop laravel applications?

Intelivita takes Laravel projects through five stages from requirements and architecture to development, testing, launch and ongoing support. The current draft already defines these five stages.
01

Requirements & Project Scope

We define the application's requirements, features, priorities, technical constraints and delivery scope before development starts.
02

Design & Architecture

We plan the application structure, database models, APIs and frontend requirements around the approved product scope.
03

Laravel Development & Integration

Our developers build backend logic, application features and third-party integrations in iterative development cycles.
04

Testing and Validation

We test functionality, integrations, performance, security and browser compatibility before production release.
05

Deployment & Ongoing Support

We deploy the application and provide bug fixes, updates, optimisation and continued feature development where required.

Do you have an existing Laravel application?

We take over existing Laravel applications that need continued development, upgrades, performance improvements or modernisation.

Our developers review the current codebase, dependencies, database and integrations first, then identify what should be retained, fixed, upgraded or rebuilt.

Laravel Development FAQs

We answer common questions about Laravel development, including costs, development timelines, custom features, integrations, maintenance, and application migration.

Is Laravel still relevant, and does it have a future?

Yes. Laravel remains an actively maintained PHP framework with regular releases and a mature ecosystem for building and maintaining web applications. Tools such as Laravel Octane, Vapor, Pulse and Livewire extend Laravel for performance, deployment, monitoring and interactive application development.

Is Laravel a backend framework?

Yes. Laravel is a server-side PHP framework used for routing, authentication, database operations and application business logic. Laravel works with Blade, Livewire and Alpine.js for integrated frontends, or with React and Vue for separate frontend applications.

How much does Laravel development cost in the UK?

Bespoke Laravel development ranges from £20,000 to £100,000+, depending on application complexity, integrations, design requirements and ongoing support. Smaller applications and MVPs typically sit at the lower end, while complex CRM, SaaS and enterprise systems require larger budgets.

How long does a Laravel project take to complete?

Laravel projects take 4-8 weeks for simpler applications and 3-6 months for more complex systems with custom workflows and API integrations. Enterprise platforms with extensive integrations or performance requirements take longer.

Do you offer white-label Laravel development for other agencies?

Yes, we offer white-label Laravel development for UK-based agencies. Our team handles backend delivery under your brand, so you manage the client relationship. This lets agencies scale services without increasing internal resources.

Who owns the intellectual property and source code after completion?

You own the intellectual property and source code once the project is completed and fully paid. Intelivita transfers the agreed project rights to you in accordance with the project contract.

Why choose Laravel over Node.js or Python for my web application?

Choose Laravel over Node.js or Python when your application suits PHP and needs structured backend development with built-in routing, authentication, database tools and an MVC architecture. Laravel is particularly well suited to CRMs, admin systems, SaaS platforms and database-driven business applications.

Laravel or Next.js: Which should I choose?

Choose Laravel for backend-heavy applications such as CRMs, SaaS platforms and systems with complex business logic, role-based access or database-driven workflows. Choose Next.js for frontend-first React applications where the user interface is the main focus. You can also combine them, using Laravel for APIs and backend logic and Next.js for the frontend.

How does Laravel compare to CodeIgniter?

Laravel offers a larger ecosystem, more built-in tooling (queues, authentication, and testing), and a larger developer hiring pool, which suits most new projects. CodeIgniter is lighter-weight and can still be the right call for extending an existing CodeIgniter codebase or very low-complexity sites.

Can you migrate a legacy PHP application to Laravel?

Yes. Intelivita migrates legacy PHP applications to Laravel by reviewing the existing logic, database and architecture before refactoring or rebuilding the required components.

Is Laravel secure enough for handling sensitive customer data?

Yes, Laravel includes built-in protection against SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), along with encrypted data storage, HTTPS routing, and authentication features that align with UK data protection and GDPR standards.

What's the difference between a Laravel application and custom website development?

Laravel suits feature-heavy platforms, while custom website development often addresses simpler, content-driven needs. The table below covers the main differences.

FeatureLaravel Application DevelopmentCustom Website Development
Technology stackLaravel (PHP framework), MVC architecturePlain HTML/PHP or CMS platforms (WordPress, etc.)
Use caseComplex web apps, SaaS, CRMs, marketplacesPortfolio sites, blogs, landing pages
ScalabilityHighly designed for growth, modular codeLimited; depends on initial structure
Backend managementCustom admin panels, APIs, role-based accessBasic or template-based dashboards
Security featuresCSRF, XSS, and SQL injection prevention built inVaries; often relies on third-party plugins
Cost & timeHigher cost and longer time due to customisationFaster delivery, cost-effective for basic needs

How do you integrate app development with a Laravel backend?

We build secure RESTful or GraphQL APIs that connect your mobile or web app to a Laravel backend. Laravel handles data processing, authentication, and business logic, while the app interacts with it in real time through API endpoints, ensuring smooth data exchange and performance across platforms.

Can you use Laravel to build a custom headless CMS?

Yes, Laravel supports structured content models, API-first delivery, and flexible user access controls. A custom Laravel-based headless CMS gives you full control over how you create, manage, and publish content across web, mobile, and digital platforms.

Can you convert my existing Laravel application into a hybrid app?

Yes. We can keep your existing Laravel backend and build a cross-platform mobile app with Flutter or React Native through our hybrid app development service. The mobile app connects to Laravel through APIs, allowing existing business logic, data and backend services to support both iOS and Android.

Can your Laravel developers work with our existing development team?

Yes. Our Laravel developers can work alongside your in-house or external development team on backend development, APIs, integrations, migrations, bug fixes or feature delivery. We coordinate responsibilities with your existing team so each developer has a clear scope within the project.

Have a Laravel Project to Build or Improve?

Whether you're planning a new Laravel application, replacing a legacy PHP system or extending an existing product, start with the requirements.
