A Laravel development company that builds for the AI era
Larasoft is a UK Laravel development company. We build custom web applications, SaaS products, customer portals, internal tools and APIs on Laravel, and we look after them for years afterwards.
What has changed is how the work gets done. AI coding agents now handle much of the repetitive work in a Laravel project, such as migrations, forms, CRUD screens and tests. Our senior engineers spend their time where experience matters most: architecture, security, data design and reviewing every line before it ships. You get the speed of AI with the standards of a certified Laravel team.
What we build with Laravel
- SaaS platforms with subscriptions, teams, roles and usage billing through Laravel Cashier and Stripe. See SaaS development.
- Customer and partner portals that replace spreadsheets and email chains with a secure, self-service app.
- Internal tools and admin panels built with Filament or Laravel Nova. See admin panels.
- APIs and integrations for mobile apps, partners and third-party platforms. See API development.
- AI features such as assistants, document processing and semantic search with the Laravel AI SDK. See Laravel AI integration.
- Rebuilds of legacy systems written in older PHP frameworks. See legacy modernisation.
How we build
Every project follows the same principles, whether it is a two-week feature or a two-year platform.
- Start with the problem. A short discovery phase turns your goals into a backlog with clear acceptance criteria and a price or estimate.
- Set the guardrails. Architecture, coding standards, continuous integration and tests go in first, along with the rulebook that AI agents follow. Read more about our AI-driven development approach.
- Ship in small steps. You see working software on a staging server every week, not a big reveal at the end.
- Review everything. Every change is reviewed by a senior engineer and checked automatically for style, static analysis errors, failing tests and vulnerable dependencies.
- Plan for production. Hosting, monitoring, backups and deployments are designed alongside the code, not bolted on afterwards.

We stay close to the Laravel ecosystem, because first-party tools are well documented, well supported and familiar to other Laravel developers who may work on your app in future.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Laravel application cost to build?
Our rates are £20 per hour for Laravel engineers and £25 per hour for senior engineers, excluding VAT. A focused internal tool can take a few weeks; a full SaaS platform takes months. After a free call we give you either a fixed price or an estimate range for each milestone. See our pricing and our guide to what custom software costs in the UK.
Is Laravel still a good choice in 2026?
Yes. Laravel ships a major release every year, Laravel 13 arrived in March 2026 with a first-party AI SDK, and the ecosystem covers hosting, payments, queues, search and admin panels. It is a mature, well-supported framework with a large pool of developers, which matters when you need to hire or change supplier. Our guide What is Laravel? covers it in more depth.
Who owns the code?
You do, in full, from the first commit. The repository lives in your GitHub or GitLab account, and servers and third-party accounts are created in your name.
Where is your team based?
Larasoft is a UK company registered in London. Projects are led from the UK, working in UK hours, with a vetted distributed engineering team for delivery. You always know who is working on your project.
Do you work on existing Laravel applications?
Yes, it is a large part of what we do. We regularly take over projects from other agencies and freelancers. Most engagements start with a code review so we both know what we are dealing with.
Which front-end technologies do you use with Laravel?
Blade with Livewire for most business applications, and Inertia with Vue or React when an app needs a richer interface. We also build APIs for separate front ends and mobile apps.
