Process FAQs
How do you choose between Laravel and CodeIgniter?
We compare scope, team familiarity, hosting, integrations, maintenance, and application structure before recommending Laravel or CodeIgniter.
Will I own the custom PHP code?
Yes. You retain the agreed code, domain, hosting, provider accounts, and access, with operating details for handover.
How does complexity affect the ecommerce cost?
Catalogue rules, roles, integrations, reporting, migration, and checkout behaviour can affect the final quote.
How long will a custom PHP build take?
Timing depends on workflow, content, integrations, testing, access, and approvals; we confirm a plan after understanding scope.
