PHP website support and maintenance

I'm an experienced PHP web developer who can help with website support and web application development.

Businesses come to me for PHP website support to resolve maintenance or security issues with their websites, and I'm always keen to help and use my experience of working with PHP websites to improve web-based systems.

I'm accustomed to working with all the major PHP website frameworks, such as Yii, Laravel and CodeIgniter, as well as being able to work with bespoke PHP code - which means I can take on a wide range of projects.

I'm committed to delivering the best practice web development and security principles for every project I work on, whether that's for a brand new application or website, or when I'm taking on an existing application for support, maintenance or new features.

Typical website support requests

Businesses typically come to me for assistance with website support or maintenance requests such as:

  • SSL/TLS certificate provisioning: Many websites still don't make use of an SSL/TLS certificate (y'know, the padlock in your browser bar). This encrypts traffic to and from your website, improving security and user trust. Furthermore search engines love websites with SSL certificates and it can sometimes give you speed improvements for your website too.
  • PHP, MySQL or Node.js version updates, or other software updates: Open source web software is always being updated, which means your website or application needs to be updated too. I can help with upgrading server software such as PHP, and making any necessary corresponding changes to your applications.
  • Web application security auditing and improvements: I strive to make websites and applications as secure as they can be, so I can help with performing web security audits and resolving security issues.
  • Application cloud migration: Such as migrating web applications to AWS to leverage the scalability and security of the AWS cloud platform.
