Laravel is where our Creative Development skills really shine. Unlike a CMS, Laravel doesn't have any predetermined restrictions. It’s a flexible, adaptable development environment that allows us to fully utilize our expertise and create web-based technology tools to fit your special needs. It’s especially valuable when your website is also your product, a unique revenue-generating tool serving your business. Laravel gives us the freedom to work together and create exactly what your business, and only your business, needs.
Explaining Laravel can get pretty technical, but basically, it's a framework that provides a very effective way to build applications. Your users will still have the experience of using a website in a browser, but that website is just its Clark Kent exterior covering up the Superman underneath. Our team can use Laravel to make complex functions work seamlessly in a browser for your users.
One of our favorite things about Laravel is that it's open-sourced and based on the common PHP programming language. This means that there are thousands of knowledgeable web developers out there that can help you. And, it’s backed by a strong, collaborative Laravel community.
Unlike a traditional CMS, a Laravel project only offers what you need without a bunch of unnecessary extra built-in functions to get in the way. If you’ve ever wished you could trade in 50% of the functions your CMS has (and that you don't use) for just two or three special new functions that you would use, you’d probably love a Laravel web application. They're lean, adaptable, and can be tailored to fit your needs like a bespoke suit.
