PHP Developer for Hire: Laravel, WordPress and Core PHP

Some PHP work is a full project, but a lot of it is smaller: a broken checkout, a slow admin panel, a plugin that needs customising, an old site that must move to a newer PHP version. Javedify, a Mumbai-based team, lets you hire a PHP developer for exactly that size of job, or for a longer build, working remotely and with written scope.

Quick answer: You can hire a PHP developer from Javedify (Mazgaon, Byculla, Mumbai) for a one-off fix, a defined feature, a monthly retainer or a full project. We work in Core PHP, Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce and MySQL, build and consume REST APIs, and handle PHP version upgrades and security clean-ups. Work is remote, scoped in writing, and you own the code.

Hire a PHP developer for the job you actually have

People who search for a PHP developer for hire are usually in one of three situations. They have a site or application that is broken or aging and needs someone who can read other people's code. They are building something new and need a developer who can choose the right framework. Or they run an agency and need extra capacity for a client project.

Each situation calls for a different way of hiring. A broken checkout needs a quick, well-defined fix, not a month-long contract. A new product needs planning before code. An agency needs a steady, reliable pair of hands that follows its process.

We therefore offer several ways to start, including a small paid first task, so that you can see how we work before committing to anything bigger.

Who hires our PHP developers

Ways to hire a PHP developer from us

For a single defined issue, such as a bug, a plugin change or a small feature, we work on a fixed task with a written scope and price. For ongoing needs, a monthly arrangement gives you a developer's regular time for fixes, features and maintenance. For a complete product, we quote a project in milestones.

If you are not sure which fits, describe the problem and we will suggest the lightest model that solves it, not the largest contract we could sell.

Start with a small paid task

The best way to judge any developer is on real work. We are happy to begin with a small, well-defined task, such as fixing one bug, reviewing your code or building a single feature, so you can judge communication, code quality and timing before deciding on more.

We also do code reviews and short audits, where we read your existing application and tell you what is risky, what is slow and what should be fixed first.

Taking over code someone else wrote

A large share of PHP work is inheriting an application from a previous developer who is gone, unreachable or unreliable. We start by getting access, making a backup, reading the code and writing down what we find, before changing anything. You get a plain-language summary of the state of the application and a prioritised list of fixes.

Which PHP technology should you choose?

Core PHP suits small, specific tools. Laravel suits custom web applications and APIs that will grow. WordPress suits content-led sites and many business sites, and WooCommerce suits many online stores. The right choice depends on what you are building and who will maintain it.

We tell you honestly when a different approach, or a simpler one, is better for you, including when the best answer is not to rebuild at all.

How we work and protect you

Work is remote, with a named contact, a shared task list and regular updates. We use version control, work on a staging copy before touching your live site and keep backups before any change. We can sign an NDA, and you receive source code, database and logins at the end.

We do not claim a particular number of hours or a guaranteed turnaround that depends on factors we cannot see yet. We give an estimate after reading the task, and we tell you early if it changes.

What affects the cost of hiring a PHP developer

We quote in writing after reading the task, and do not publish a flat hourly rate that would misrepresent small jobs or large ones. The main factors are:

Related: website development cost, app development cost, website maintenance, or request a custom quote.

Can I hire a PHP developer just for a small fix?

Core PHP and MySQL, Laravel, WordPress and WooCommerce, CodeIgniter and older PHP applications, plus REST APIs and third-party integrations.

Yes. We first take a backup and read the code, then give you a plain-language summary and a prioritised list of fixes before changing anything.

Price depends on the task, so we quote in writing after reading it. For ongoing work, a monthly arrangement is agreed in writing.

Will my live website be at risk while you work?

We take a backup first and work on a staging copy where possible, so changes are tested before they reach your live site.
