PHP Development Services in Uganda

Custom PHP web applications, APIs, and legacy system support. Whether you need something built from scratch or need someone to fix and extend an existing PHP codebase, we handle it.

PHP still runs a huge share of the web, and a lot of Ugandan businesses have existing PHP systems that need maintenance, fixes, or new features — not necessarily a full rebuild. We do both: new custom PHP applications when that's the right tool, and rescue work on existing codebases nobody else wants to touch.

What We Do

Custom PHP Web Applications
Legacy PHP Codebase Maintenance & Fixes
REST API Development
Database-Driven Business Systems
Security Audits & Hardening
Framework Migrations (to Laravel or modern PHP)
Third-Party Integrations (payments, SMS, email)
Performance Optimization

Our Approach

  • Modern PHP practices (PHP 8+, typed code where possible)
  • Secure by default (prepared statements, input validation)
  • Clean, documented code for future maintainability
  • Database schema review and optimization
  • Local payment integration (MTN Money, Airtel Money)
  • Error logging and monitoring setup
  • Automated tests for critical logic where feasible
  • Deployment support for shared hosting or VPS

How We Work

1

Codebase / Requirements Review

For existing systems, we audit the code first — security issues, structure problems, what's safe to touch. For new builds, we scope requirements and data model.

2

Plan & Prioritize

We agree on what gets fixed, rebuilt, or added first, with a clear order that avoids breaking what already works.

3

Development

Feature-by-feature or fix-by-fix, with proper testing before anything touches production.

4

Integrations

Payment gateways, SMS/email providers, or other systems your PHP application needs to talk to.

5

Testing

We test changes thoroughly, especially on legacy systems where a small fix can break something unrelated if you're not careful.

6

Deployment & Handover

Careful deployment with rollback plans for legacy systems, plus documentation of what changed and why.

Pricing

Fixes/small features: $500–$2K. New applications: $6K–$20K+. Retainer: $500–$1.5K/month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix and maintain our existing PHP website?

Yes, this is a large part of what we do. We audit the codebase, identify security and stability risks, and either patch it incrementally or recommend a rebuild if the code is beyond reasonable repair.

How much does PHP development or maintenance cost?

Bug fixes and small features: $500–$2,000 per engagement. New custom applications: $6,000–$20,000+ depending on scope. Ongoing maintenance retainers from $500/month.

Should we rebuild in Laravel instead of maintaining raw PHP?

Often yes, if the codebase is old and fragile — Laravel gives you a maintainable foundation going forward. But if the system is stable and just needs occasional fixes, a full rebuild may not be worth the cost. We'll give you an honest recommendation either way.

Is our old PHP system a security risk?

Possibly. Outdated PHP versions and unpatched code are common attack targets. We run a security audit — checking for SQL injection risks, outdated dependencies, and exposed credentials — before recommending next steps.

Do you work with WordPress-adjacent custom PHP?

Yes. We handle custom plugins, theme functions, and standalone PHP scripts that sit alongside WordPress sites, not just pure WordPress work.

Can you integrate MTN Money or Airtel Money into our PHP system?

Yes. We've integrated MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, DPO, and Stripe into custom PHP applications, handling the API calls and webhook verification.

How fast can you respond to a broken production PHP site?

For retainer clients, we prioritize same-day response for critical issues. For one-off engagements, we assess urgency and give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Retainers from $500/month for basic maintenance and fixes, up to $1,500+/month for active ongoing development.
