When to choose Native PHP?
-
A fast website without clutter
No CMS or useless dependencies: the code does exactly what is needed and pages load fast.
-
Simple hosting
PHP runs on virtually every host, including inexpensive shared plans.
-
An existing PHP application
Your internal tool or legacy website is in PHP: we take it over rather than throwing it away.
-
A very specific need
Calculations, complex forms, connection to an existing database: custom code adapts to your logic.
When it isn't the best choice
For a large application with many features and several developers, a framework (Laravel or Symfony) brings structure and ready-made building blocks that save time. And if you want to manage a lot of content yourself, a CMS such as WordPress is more comfortable.

Frequently asked questions: Native PHP
Yes. Recent versions (PHP 8) are fast and modern, and PHP remains at the heart of WordPress, Laravel and Symfony. It is a stable technology, widely hosted and easy to get maintained.
It is a risk: PHP 5 has not received security fixes for years. The good news: a gradual migration to PHP 8 is often possible without rewriting everything.
Yes. We start by reading and documenting it, identify the fragile parts, then propose a plan: fix, rewrite some parts or keep as is.
For speed and control: no plugins to update, code we know line by line, and simple hosting.
