PHP Developers

We are specialist PHP Programmers. PHP is a popular programming language especially suited to web development. With PHP's wide acceptance internationally, it is easy to find resources and support for your websites and applications.

This server-side scripting language is widely adopted in the industry due to its ability to be embedded directly within HTML code, its compatibility with various databases and operating systems, and its extensive suite of automation tools for tasks such as content management and e-commerce systems. Additionally, PHP's open-source nature means that it is continuously updated and improved by a global community of developers, ensuring that it remains on the cutting edge of technology.

Benefits of PHP

Established

First developed in 1995, PHP has consistently grown and evolved. Depending on whose stats you look at, up to 80% of the worlds websites run on PHP. PHP is used by small players as well as massive web projects such as Facebook and Wikipedia.

Web Specific

PHP is designed from the ground for creating dynamic websites and web applications. PHP plugs directly into popular web servers providing a fast and stable platform.

Constantly Evolving

PHP is constantly being developed and improved by a large international team. The language is becoming faster, more structured and with more tools rolled into the core rather than relying on plugins.

Fast

Productive

PHP is intuitive and easy to use which makes it fast for developers to create projects.

Open Source

There is no license cost or license management with using PHP.

Well Supported

There is a large community of developers and support forums available. It is easy to shift a PHP project from one development team to another.

No Lock In

There is no license cost or license management with using PHP.

Flexible

Although PHP was designed as a web language, it works great as a scripting language and for creating APIS. PHP runs on Linux and Windows platforms.

Why we specialise in PHP programming?

We believe in picking a platform and becoming experts, rather than dabbling in many platforms.

Programmers can get into philosophical debates about the merits of one software development platform over another. We have not chosen PHP for philosophical reasons. There are other powerful, well supported programming languages and platforms available.

Often software companies in New Zealand will build applications in a range of programming languages and software development platforms. A broader range of programming languages makes it possible to take on business from more customers, which is great from the software companies point of view. It is not so good from the customers point of view, as the developers will have less specialised skill.

We decided from day one to specialise in PHP, not because it is the only choice, but by making a choice to specialise we can offer customers the most expertise in a narrow field rather than being jacks of all trades. By specialising we deliver code faster, with less bugs, than companies that offer a broad range of programming languages.
