If you rely on PHP to power your product, every week of delay costs you users, revenue, and momentum. Yet building a reliable in-house team can easily take 2–3 months of recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and hoping your hires are the right fit.
SimplyPHP offers a different path: ready-to-deploy, full-stack PHP teams composed of handpicked, in-house developers only — all intermediate or senior level — led by a senior project manager and fully embedded into your existing workflow.
Instead of waiting months to staff a project, you can have a team operating in North American time zones, integrated into your Slack and Jira, delivering features in a matter of days. With a satisfaction guarantee (you pay only if you are happy), a free code audit and a one-week trial, SimplyPHP is built to help you move faster while reducing onboarding and delivery risk.
Why Traditional PHP Hiring Slows You Down
Hiring full-stack PHP developers the traditional way is slow, expensive, and unpredictable. Even when you get it right, it can take months before you see meaningful output. Common bottlenecks include:
- Long recruiting cycles— Crafting job posts, screening resumes, interviewing, and negotiating offers often stretches into 2–3 months before your new hires even start.
- Onboarding drag— New developers need time to understand your stack, domain, and processes, so velocity starts low and ramps up slowly.
- HR and compliance overhead— Payroll, benefits, equipment, contracts, and legal add friction and cost that do not directly move your roadmap forward.
- Skill mismatch risk— Even after a lengthy process, you can end up with developers who are not the right seniority level or do not have deep experience in PHP frameworks and DevOps.
Freelancers and anonymous outsourcing shops promise faster access to talent, but they introduce new risks: inconsistent quality, communication challenges, time zone gaps, and lack of accountability.
SimplyPHP was created to remove these trade-offs: to give you the speed and flexibility of an on-demand model with the depth and reliability of a seasoned in-house team.
What Makes SimplyPHP Different
SimplyPHP has been focused on PHP development since 2010. With 15+ years of experience, 40+ in-house developers and hundreds of projects delivered, the company has built a model that is intentionally simple: no outsourcing, no juniors, no surprises.
1. 100% In-House, No Outsourcing, No Junior Hires
Every project is delivered by SimplyPHP's own team. Work is never outsourced to third parties, and the company does not hire junior developers. Instead, teams are composed of intermediate and senior professionals who have already proven themselves on production systems.
This matters because you get:
- Predictable quality from developers who have shipped real-world PHP applications repeatedly.
- Faster ramp-up thanks to years of experience troubleshooting common architectural and performance issues.
- Less hand-holding because you are working with people who know how to own features from idea to deployment.
2. Full-Stack Coverage: PHP, Laravel, Symfony, AWS, DevOps and More
Modern PHP development is not just about writing controllers and models. A real-world product needs secure APIs, reliable infrastructure, monitoring, automation, and integration with a growing ecosystem of tools.
SimplyPHP provides full technical coverage across:
- Core PHP and object-oriented design
- Frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony
- Cloud infrastructure on platforms like AWS
- DevOps and automation to streamline deployments and reduce manual workload
- Related front-end and back-end technologies used alongside PHP in modern stacks
The result is a team capable of owning entire features end to end — from database schema and API design to user-facing functionality and deployment.
3. Senior Project Manager as Your Single Point of Contact
Every SimplyPHP engagement includes a senior project manager who serves as your single point of contact. This person is responsible for:
- Clarifying business goals and technical requirements
- Translating roadmap priorities into actionable developer tasks
- Coordinating sprints, standups, and demos
- Providing clear weekly updates so you always know what is done, what is in progress, and what is coming next
Instead of micromanaging tasks, you stay focused on outcomes. The project manager ensures pace and alignment, while the developers take ownership of delivery.
4. Immediate Start: Skip 2–3 Month Recruiting Delays
Because SimplyPHP maintains a dedicated in-house team, you can spin up your PHP development team in days, not months. There are:
- No job postings or interviews required on your side
- No waiting for notice periods to end
- No expensive recruiting retainers
You get to bypass the slowest part of scaling a development organization and move straight to delivery.
5. Flexible Scaling Without HR Hassles
Project demands change. Product launches create spikes, maintenance phases slow down, and new initiatives emerge. SimplyPHP is designed to match that reality:
- Scale up quickly when you need higher throughput.
- Scale down when you hit a natural plateau or enter a quieter phase.
- Cancel anytime— there are no rigid long-term contracts locking you in.
Because developers remain SimplyPHP employees, you do not carry the HR overhead. There are no surprise fees, no payroll administration, no benefits management, and no recruiting to manage. You focus on product and growth; SimplyPHP handles the team.
How a Dedicated SimplyPHP Team Fits into Your Workflow
A SimplyPHP team is designed to feel like an extension of your in-house staff, not an external vendor. Their developers work in North American time zones and embed directly into the tools you already use.
Fully Embedded Collaboration
SimplyPHP's developers plug into your existing systems, including:
- Communication— Slack, Microsoft Teams, and similar tools for day-to-day collaboration.
- Issue tracking— Jira or comparable systems for managing sprints, tickets, and backlogs.
- Code repositories— Git-based platforms where your code already lives.
You see commits, pull requests, and discussions the same way you would with internal developers, ensuring transparency and shared ownership.
Weekly Visibility, Zero Micromanagement
To keep stakeholders aligned without constant check-ins, SimplyPHP provides clear weekly updates that typically include:
- Features completed and deployed
- Work in progress and blockers, if any
- Upcoming priorities for the next sprint or week
- Metrics or observations from production (when available)
This level of transparency means you can steer the roadmap strategically, while trusting the team to manage execution details.
Proven, Measurable Results
SimplyPHP's approach is built around outcomes, not just hours. The company highlights several tangible improvements from recent client engagements, including:
| Outcome | Impact |
|---|---|
| Release stability | Zero critical bugs since the last release for a featured project. |
| Automation and AI | Manual tasks reduced by 60% through targeted automation initiatives. |
| Delivery speed | Feature delivery accelerated by approximately 2.5× compared to prior baseline. |
These results are achieved by combining strong PHP expertise, robust DevOps practices, and a focus on automating repetitive, manual work wherever possible.
Real-World Impact: Client Experiences
Organizations from fast-growing platforms to non-profits have relied on SimplyPHP to modernize systems, stabilize critical applications, and launch new features faster. Their feedback consistently highlights:
- Professionalism and reliability over long-term collaborations.
- Deep experience in both web development and database management for complex platforms.

Clients describe their work with SimplyPHP as seamless, proactive, and crucial to the success of their platforms and initiatives. Many have partnered with the team for years, citing consistent quality and dependable support as key reasons for staying.
Whether it is a multi-year relationship with an education platform or a complete overhaul of a non-profit's website, the pattern is the same: SimplyPHP plugs in, stabilizes what is there, and then helps you move forward faster.
Risk-Free Onboarding: Free Code Audit and One-Week Trial
Choosing a development partner should not feel like a leap of faith. To make the decision easier, SimplyPHP offers:
- A free code audit (valued at approximately $3,500) to assess the health, structure, and maintainability of your existing PHP codebase.
- A one-week trial with the team, so you can experience their process, communication, and technical depth before fully committing.
- A satisfaction guarantee— if you are not happy, you do not pay. There is no fine print: it is results-first, or you walk away.
This combination dramatically reduces onboarding risk. You get real insight into your current code, a chance to test day-to-day collaboration, and the assurance that SimplyPHP is invested in delivering value from day one.
