Development Technologies
From custom web applications built with Nuxt, Laravel and Strapi to CMS websites and online stores on WordPress, Drupal, Kentico and Magento, each technology has its own strengths. Explore what each one does best and when we recommend it.
Backend Framework
Laravel is a free, open-source PHP framework for building custom web applications, from customer portals to business systems. It can run the whole site or act as the backend for a separate frontend such as Nuxt, with built-in tools for managing data, background tasks and testing.
Most websites run on more than one technology. Here’s how common project needs map to the right web development stack, and how each piece works with the others.
| Project Need | Recommended Stack | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate website that needs to rank on search engines | Nuxt + Strapi | Editors manage content in Strapi, while Nuxt renders each page on the server, so visitors and search engines get fast, readable pages. |
| Customer portal or booking system with logins and payments | Nuxt + Laravel | Laravel handles accounts, data and business logic behind the scenes, then connects to Nuxt through an API for a fast, responsive frontend. |
| Website and mobile app sharing the same content | Strapi | Content is entered once in Strapi and delivered through its API to both the website and the app, keeping them in sync. |
| Government or university website with many editors and languages | Drupal | Role-based access, built-in multilingual tools and accessibility features help large teams publish in several languages. |
| Website the marketing team updates often | WordPress | A familiar editor and a large library of themes and plugins let teams update pages and add features with little technical help. |
| Organisation that wants content and marketing tools together | Kentico | Kentico combines content management with digital marketing tools, so content and campaigns run from a single platform. |
| Online store with a large product catalogue | Magento | Magento is an e-commerce platform that manages product catalogues, shopping carts and checkout in one place. |
Laravel is a PHP framework for building websites and web applications. It provides a foundation for handling accounts, data and business rules. We use it for custom systems such as customer portals, booking platforms, membership systems and internal business tools. It is not a ready-made application; the screens and features are built around your requirements.
Choose a custom Laravel application when your approval steps, pricing rules, user roles or integrations cannot be handled well by an existing product. Ready-made software is often the simpler choice when it already meets the need. We first map the process and identify the gaps, so custom development addresses a clear business requirement rather than recreating features you could readily buy.
Yes. We can build permissions for customers, staff, managers or partners, with access limited to the records and actions each role needs. Approval steps can follow your process, such as a staff member submitting a request and a manager approving it. These rules must be defined and tested; choosing Laravel alone does not create the finished workflow.
Yes, through suitable APIs or supported data-exchange methods. We agree what information moves between systems, which system owns each record and when updates should happen. The integration also needs to handle failed requests and avoid duplicate records or transactions. Access, provider limits and any third-party charges are checked before the scope is confirmed.
No. Laravel can serve the website interface itself, or work behind a separate interface built with Nuxt. In a combined setup, Laravel handles accounts, data and business rules while Nuxt handles the pages users interact with. We recommend the arrangement that fits the user experience and maintenance needs; using both is an option, not a requirement.
Yes, data migration can form part of the project. We map the existing fields to the new structure, identify missing or duplicate records and run a trial import. Your team checks the results before the final transfer. We also agree when the old system stops accepting changes, so records are not missed or entered twice during the switch.
Yes. We can plan the application in phases, starting with the core process, user roles and reports needed for daily work. Likely future requirements should be discussed early so the initial data structure supports them. Later phases are scoped and tested separately, with an ongoing budget for hosting, backups, maintenance and updates.
