PHP

Proven in the CMS space, for example WordPress and legacy systems.

What is PHP?

PHP still powers a surprisingly large share of the web and is firmly rooted in the world of content management systems. The language has changed a great deal over the years and, with type declarations, clear object models and noticeably faster runtime, is more modern than its reputation often suggests. Thanks to its enormous reach it runs on practically any hosting without special demands. We use it mainly where WordPress is involved, or where existing systems need to be maintained and carefully extended.

How we use it

We mostly use PHP around WordPress, for example for bespoke themes, custom blocks or small plugins that do exactly what a client needs. We also work directly in the language when maintaining existing PHP applications. That keeps the editorial team in their familiar environment while we extend things behind the scenes to measure.

php
function totalPrice(array $items): float {
    return array_sum(
        array_map(fn(array $i): float => $i['price'] * $i['qty'], $items)
    );
}
type declarations make functions safer

Good to know

Run a current PHP version rather than whatever the server happens to ship. Moving from older to newer versions often brings a noticeable speed boost without much change to the actual code.
