Why teams hire Laravel developers from 7Span

You always know what's shipped
You get timesheets and a monthly summary, and a clear escalation path from your Laravel developer to an account manager to our delivery head. Our founders sit in delivery reviews.

Laravel development services
Hire dedicated Laravel developers for the whole build: SaaS products, APIs, upgrades, Filament admin panels, full-stack apps and performance work.
Laravel SaaS development
Subscription billing with Stripe, role-based access, queued background jobs and APIs in one framework. We cover the trade-offs in Laravel for SaaS. For a full product build, see SaaS product development.
Laravel API development
REST and GraphQL APIs with token authentication, rate limiting and versioning, serving the React, Vue, Flutter and native apps that sit on top of them.
Laravel upgrades and PHP migration
We upgrade one major Laravel version at a time, with tests written first, and move plain-PHP or CodeIgniter apps to Laravel module by module, as part of our legacy app modernization work.
Filament admin panels
Filament back offices, Livewire interfaces, reporting and exports for the teams who run your product day to day, built on the same Laravel codebase.
Full-stack Laravel products
Laravel with Vue or React through Inertia.js, or with Livewire, so one team owns the API and the interface. For the frontend, hire Vue.js developers.
Laravel performance and scaling
Queue tuning, caching and Eloquent query optimization for products where traffic or data volume has outgrown the first version of the code.
Schedule A Meeting
Exits, ownership and hours, agreed up front
Notice, ownership and working hours, in writing before you start.
The fit isn't right: tell us during the 15-day trial and you pay nothing for it. After the trial, you can scale down or stop with 30 days' notice.
You need to stop: give 30 days' notice. Open work, queue and deployment notes, and any upgrade still in progress are handed to your team before the developer rolls off.
Ownership: every migration, model, job and test goes into your repositories from the first commit, under a signed NDA. IP for delivered work is yours.
