Laravel web apps

Octane & performance
RoadRunner or Swoole — Laravel that handles 10× the throughput, when the use-case earns it.
Package authoring
Reusable internal packages, OSS contributions — code that lives past the project that funded it.

or Laravel engineers on your team.
Most teams looking for a Laravel development agency in the UK want one of three things: a product built end to end, a senior team that plugs into their roadmap, or someone to take over an existing Laravel codebase. Magora does all three from London — same senior engineers, UK contracts, and code and IP transferred to you on payment.
End-to-end Laravel builds
Discovery, design, Laravel back end, Filament admin and front end — delivered as a fixed scope agreed after Discovery.
Bespoke software →A dedicated Laravel team
Senior Laravel engineers, QA and a delivery lead who join your roadmap and your rituals, scaled month by month.
Dedicated teams →Take over an existing Laravel app
Code and infrastructure audit, tests around the risky parts, framework and PHP upgrades one major version at a time.
Modernisation →Discovery first
A short paid Discovery (from £3,000) turns your Laravel idea into a costed scope, architecture and roadmap before the build.
Discovery phase →Pricing is published: senior engineers are from £49 an hour (about £390 a day), Discovery from £3,000, an MVP from £10,000 and a full production project from £30,000. See UK software development pricing.
The honest
questions.
A freelancer suits a well-defined task on a codebase you already manage. An agency makes sense when you also need product decisions, design, QA, DevOps and continuity — or when the work is too important to rest on one person. Magora can do either: one senior Laravel engineer in your team, or a full product team with a Product Owner, designer, engineers and QA. See dedicated development teams.
Our senior Laravel engineers are from £49 an hour (about £390 a day), minimum four weeks. Projects are quoted as a fixed scope after Discovery (from £3,000): a Laravel MVP starts from £10,000 and a full production platform from £30,000. The full breakdown is on our UK software development pricing page.
Yes. We start with a code and infrastructure audit, add tests around the riskiest parts, then upgrade Laravel and PHP one major version at a time so nothing breaks silently. You get a written report and a plan before any rewrite is discussed. See legacy software modernisation.
Magora is a London-based software development company that provides mobile, web and AI product development, and helps businesses ship bespoke solutions backed by 15 years of delivery.
Our senior Product Owners and Project Managers dive into your business goals during Discovery to create a product vision that gives end users a seamless experience.
Top-notch mobile, web and AI developers plus QA engineers deliver high-quality code at any complexity, and our UI/UX design team ensures the experience meets the strictest guidelines.
A senior engineer is from £49/hour (about £390 a day), minimum four weeks — the same published band as our PHP engineers, because seniority rather than language sets it. Our 2026 paid pricing (GBP):
- Free working prototype + written analysis from a senior Product Owner before any paid engagement — no commitment, no charge.
- Product Discovery: from £3,000.
- Startup MVP: from £10,000.
- Full production mobile or web project: from £30,000.
- AI development, bespoke enterprise software and CRM platforms: scoped after Discovery.

Yes — to stay among cutting-edge technologies and keep up with changing demand, the product needs constant maintenance. During the maintenance period we analyse all incoming inquiries, evaluate severity and: fix defects, form a Product Backlog from low-medium defects and user feedback, plan and propose enhancements that add value, update libraries and tweak based on API changes to maintain stability, and monitor the code stage for critical security updates. Same team also handles legacy software modernisation if your stack needs lifting.
IPR in bespoke software shall, without prejudice to our rights in pre-existing IPR, be transferred to you on payment of the requested amount relating to such work. Where you have provided us with third-party materials, it is solely your responsibility to ensure those materials may be used as directed without infringing any IPR, laws or regulations.
