Laravel development, maintenance and upgrades
CodersDuniya builds new Laravel applications and takes over existing ones — fixing bugs, upgrading old Laravel and PHP versions, and speeding up slow apps. A written code audit costs ₹12,000, new Laravel builds typically cost ₹1.5–5 lakh, and ongoing support starts at ₹8,000/month (all plus GST).

Who this is for
- Businesses whose original developer has left
- Teams stuck on an old Laravel or PHP version
- Companies that need a Laravel API for a mobile app or React front-end
- Agencies that need white-label Laravel help
Problems this solves
The original developer left
No documentation, nobody who understands the code. We read it, document it, and keep it running.
Stuck on an old version
Old Laravel/PHP versions stop getting security fixes. We upgrade step by step, with tests.
Pages take seconds to load
Slow queries, no caching, heavy pages. We measure first, then fix what matters.
You need a new feature fast
Payments, APIs, a mobile backend — added without breaking what already works.
What we build and do
New Laravel applications
Admin panels, portals, CRMs and booking systems.
Laravel APIs
For React/Next.js front-ends and mobile apps, with authentication and documentation.
Code audit
A written report on security, performance and risk, with a prioritised fix list.
Version upgrades
Old PHP and Laravel moved to supported versions, one step at a time.
Performance fixes
Query optimisation, caching, queues and server tuning.
Monthly maintenance
Fixes, backups, monitoring and small features.
Why CodersDuniya
Honest fix-vs-rebuild advice
Rewrites are risky and expensive. We recommend one only when it's genuinely cheaper over time.
Years of PHP and Laravel experience
Our founder builds and teaches PHP/Laravel, so legacy code doesn't scare us.
Safe changes
Backups, staging and version control before we touch production.
How long it takes and what it costs

After launch
Monthly support from ₹8,000 covers monitoring, security updates, backups and a set number of hours for changes.
Technologies we may use
We work with the Laravel you have — Blade, Livewire or Inertia — rather than forcing a rewrite.
How it works
- Step 1
Access
Read-only access to code and server. We sign an NDA if you need one.
- Step 2
Audit
A written report: what's risky, what's slow, what to fix first.
- Step 3
Stabilise
Backups, error tracking and urgent fixes before anything new.
- Step 4
Improve
Upgrades and features in small releases you approve.
Common questions
Should we upgrade or rewrite our old Laravel app?
In most cases, upgrade. A step-by-step upgrade keeps the business running and costs less. A rewrite makes sense only when the code is so tangled that every change breaks something else — our audit tells you which case you're in.
Can you take over an application another developer built?
Yes. That's one of our most common projects. We start with a paid audit so we both understand the code before committing to anything bigger.
Laravel or Node.js for a business application?
Laravel is excellent for data-heavy business apps with admin panels, reports and forms. Node.js is better for real-time features like chat or live tracking. Both are solid; the team that will maintain it matters most.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes. We can review code, handle specific modules, or add capacity for a few months.
Have an existing Laravel application?
Send us what's wrong. We'll tell you honestly whether to fix, upgrade or rebuild.
