PHP
The server-side language that powers over 75% of the web.
PHP is a server-side programming language — one that runs on a web server rather than in a browser. When someone submits a form, logs in, or requests a page, PHP processes that request: it validates the input, queries the database, applies business logic, and sends back a response.
Originally released in 1994, PHP runs more of the web than any other server-side language. WordPress, Wikipedia, Facebook (early days), Slack — all PHP. Modern PHP (version 8 and later) is a very different language from the PHP of the early 2000s: strictly typed, performant, and genuinely pleasant to work in.
Every application we build uses PHP as its foundation, running through the Laravel framework.
Over 75% of websites with a known server-side language use PHP. There is no shortage of hosting, tooling, developers, or knowledge.
PHP has matured significantly. Type safety, enums, fibers, and JIT compilation mean today's PHP is fast, expressive, and production-grade.
PHP runs on virtually every cloud provider, VPS, and shared host on the planet. Deployment is straightforward and options are abundant.
PHP is the foundation; Laravel is what makes it productive. The two are inseparable in our stack — and together they cover anything a web application needs.
