What a PHP website development company in Mumbai does

Scale Delight is a PHP website development company in Mumbai, based in Kandivali West and building since 2017. As a PHP web development company in Mumbai we build custom websites, web applications, admin panels and large catalogue sites in core PHP and Laravel with a MySQL database, and we also build custom WordPress themes and plugins. Our developers and SEO team sit together, so every build ships with clean URLs, schema, speed checks and tracking in place. The code, database and hosting stay in your name, and we are rated 5.0 from 37 Google reviews.

This page covers our PHP and Laravel work. For design, WordPress and everything else, see web development services in Mumbai.

What we build

PHP and Laravel development services in Mumbai

Some clients need a simple PHP website, others need a Laravel website development company in Mumbai that can handle logins, dashboards and integrations. Every project starts with the same question: what does this site have to do for the business?

Custom PHP websites

Hand-built websites in PHP 8 with a MySQL database and a simple admin panel, for businesses whose pages, forms or workflows do not fit a ready-made template.

Laravel web development

As a Laravel web development company in Mumbai, we build applications with user roles, dashboards, notifications, scheduled jobs and APIs, where structure matters more than speed of setup.

Admin panels and dashboards

Back offices your team actually uses: enquiry and lead views, content editing, user management, exports and reports, with permissions for each role.

Large catalogue and listing sites

Product, service or location pages generated from a database, with filters, search and templates that keep thousands of pages consistent and indexable.

WordPress themes and plugins

WordPress is PHP too. We build custom themes and plugins when you want your team editing content daily without a page builder fighting the design.

API and third-party integrations

Connecting your site to a CRM, ERP, WhatsApp, payment gateway or booking system, wherever the provider offers an API to work with.

Redesign and migration

Rebuilding an old site without losing what it already earns. Every old URL is mapped to a new one before launch, and rankings are watched afterwards.

PHP 7 to PHP 8 upgrades

Old code on an unsupported PHP version is a security risk and a hosting problem. We audit, fix deprecations and move your site to a supported version.

Maintenance and support

Monthly cover for updates, backups, uptime checks, security fixes and small content changes, with a short report each month so you know what changed.

Also built here

Other website development services we provide

Not every project needs custom PHP. We build on whichever platform suits the job, and we say so when a simpler option will serve you better.

PHP landing pages

Single-page campaign pages for Google and Meta ads, built light and fast, with the form, thank you page and conversion tracking wired in before launch.

WordPress websites

Custom themes, child themes and plugin work for teams that want to publish and edit content themselves, without a page builder fighting the design.

Shopify stores

Store setup, custom Liquid sections, product and collection templates, and bulk product data work for catalogues that change often.

Wix websites

Builds and fixes for brands already on Wix, including page structure, speed, forms and the on-page basics search engines look for.

Ecommerce development

Catalogues, filters, carts and payment gateway connections, either custom in PHP or on Shopify, depending on how you sell and who manages orders.

Campaign microsites

Short-life sites for a launch, an event or a festival campaign, live quickly and easy to archive once the campaign is over.

Speed and Core Web Vitals fixes

Slow site, no rebuild needed. We work through images, caching, scripts, hosting and database queries, and show you the before and after numbers.

Hosting setup and migration

Moving a site to better hosting without downtime, including SSL, email, DNS, backups and a post-move check of every URL.

Straight answers

PHP, Laravel or WordPress: how we choose

Most agencies pick the stack they like best. The right answer depends on what your site has to do, who edits it, and what it has to talk to.

  • Custom PHP when the site has its own workflows, calculators, logins or a catalogue that no plugin handles cleanly.
  • Laravel when the site is really an application: user roles, dashboards, payments, queues, notifications or an API other systems will call.
  • WordPress when the site is mostly content and your team needs to publish and edit every week without waiting for a developer.

When we will tell you not to build custom

  • A five page brochure site does not need a framework. Custom code here just adds cost and a dependency on whoever wrote it.
  • You have no one to maintain it. Custom builds need someone watching updates, backups and security, whether that is us or your own team.
  • You need it live next week. Rushed custom work is where the expensive mistakes happen.
  • The real problem is content or marketing, not the website. Rebuilding a site that nobody visits changes nothing.

Where PHP stands today

  • 70.2% of websites whose server-side language can be detected run PHP, far ahead of every other language.
  • 28.7% of PHP sites still run PHP 7, which no longer receives security fixes. This is the most common problem we inherit.
  • 61% of PHP developers use Laravel regularly, so a Laravel build is easier for another team to pick up later.
  • 11,334 new vulnerabilities were reported across the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, and 91% of them sat in plugins. Fewer plugins means less to patch.

Our edge

Built by a team that also has to rank it

Most development companies hand over a site and leave the traffic problem to someone else. Our SEO team has to make the same site rank, which changes how it gets built.

  • Server-rendered HTML. Content is in the page source, so Google and AI tools can read it without running JavaScript.
  • A keyword map before the build. Page structure follows what people actually search for, so you are not adding pages six months later.
  • Templates that scale. Service, city and product templates keep titles, headings and schema consistent across hundreds of pages.
  • Speed treated as a feature. Compressed images, lazy loading and a Core Web Vitals check before launch, not after a complaint.
  • Migrations done safely. Redirect maps, preserved content and Search Console checks in the weeks after launch.
  • Tracking live at launch. GA4, Search Console and enquiry tracking are set up before go live, so you can see what the new site actually does from week one.
Work

20,000+

client keywords ranked in the top 5 on Google

Healthcare

Kapadia Hospital

Service pages rebuilt on their PHP website, with SEO content written page by page rather than bolted on afterwards.

Healthcare

House of Doctors

Landing pages built as PHP siblings, including suburb pages across Mumbai so each area has its own page instead of one generic one.

Pharma and biotech

A biologics manufacturer

Corporate website built in PHP for a CDMO, with product and capability pages structured for technical buyers and search engines.

Export

A German ingredients company

Ongoing development and upkeep of a PHP website for a European buyer, handled from Mumbai across time zones.

Diagnostics

A diagnostics brand

Test and condition pages generated from one template, so a large set of pages stays consistent and easy to expand.

Timelines

How soon can your website go live?

Speed is where we win a lot of these projects. Many brands come to us with a deadline already fixed, or with no website at all, and need something live now.

Rush and emergency

Days, not weeks

Site down, hacked, expired or gone, or a campaign already booked. We reorder our work, put a clean version live fast, and finish the rest once you are trading again. Rush work is priced differently, because it means moving other projects and working late, and we agree the scope and the real date before anyone starts.

Standard website

Four to six weeks

An eight to twelve page PHP website, from approved design to launch, once your content is ready. Content is usually what decides whether this slips, so we tell you exactly what we need from you and when.

Web apps and large sites

Built in phases

Logins, dashboards, catalogues and integrations are broken into phases, so the first working screens are usable while the rest is being built, instead of waiting months for one big reveal.

Whatever the deadline, you get the real timeline before you pay, not after. If the date is not possible, we say so.

The team

Who builds your website

You are not handing this to a marketplace freelancer or to a reseller who will pass it on. Here is who you are actually working with.

  • An in-house team in Mumbai. Developers, a designer, an SEO lead and a project manager, all on our own payroll. Nothing is subcontracted.
  • Building since 2017. Websites and web applications for hospitals, clinics, pharma and biotech manufacturers, jewellery retailers, exporters and industrial brands.
  • Rated 5.0 from 37 Google reviews. Public and checkable, not testimonials we wrote ourselves.
  • You can speak to the developer. Ask for a call with the person who will write your code before you sign anything.
  • Agreement and NDA before work starts. Every project, without exception.
  • Everything stays yours. Source code, database and hosting account in your company's name from day one.
Included

What every build includes

These are not add-ons. They are part of the quote, whatever the size of the project.

  • Mobile-first layouts, checked on real phones rather than only in a browser window.
  • Clean URLs, one H1 per page, canonical tags, meta titles and schema markup.
  • Compressed images, lazy loading and a Core Web Vitals check before launch.
  • Prepared statements, input validation, form protection and limits on admin logins.
  • SSL, backups and a check of the error logs before and after going live.
  • GA4 and Search Console set up, with a sitemap and a robots file.
  • A walkthrough for your team, plus a short written handover.
  • Source code, database and hosting account in your company's name.
Process

How a PHP website gets built with us

Timelines below are for a standard business website. Web applications are scoped in phases, so you see working screens early instead of waiting months.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and scope

    Pages, features, integrations, who edits what, and who owns the content. We also build the keyword map here, so the page structure is settled before any design work.

  2. Weeks 1 and 2

    Structure, then design

    Wireframes first, so we agree on what each page has to do. Then design for the key templates, which you approve before development starts.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4

    Build on a staging link

    PHP or Laravel templates, database, admin panel and forms. You get a staging link from the first week of development, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

  4. Week 5

    Testing

    Forms, mobile, browsers, speed, security basics and an SEO check on every template. Your team gets a round of feedback before launch, not after.

  5. Weeks 5 to 6

    Launch

    Redirect map, SSL, tracking, sitemap and Search Console submission. We watch error logs and Search Console closely for the first fortnight.

  6. After launch

    Support and growth

    Maintenance, small changes and, if you want it, SEO and paid campaigns from the same team that knows how the site is built.

Before you sign

Five questions to ask any PHP development company in Mumbai

Quotes for the same website can differ by several times over. These questions explain why, faster than any comparison sheet. Ask us them too.

  1. Ownership

    Who owns the code, database and hosting?

    It should be you, in writing, before work starts. If the agency keeps the hosting and the code, moving away later gets expensive.

  2. Maintenance

    What happens after launch, and what does it cost?

    A custom site needs updates, backups and security cover. Ask for the monthly cost up front, not three months after launch.

  3. Migration

    How will you protect our rankings during the redesign?

    You want to hear the words redirect map. If the answer is that Google will figure it out, the traffic drop is coming.

  4. Stack

    Why PHP or Laravel for our project, and not WordPress?

    There should be a reason tied to your workflows, not to what the team prefers building.

  5. Handover

    Could another developer take this over?

    Standard framework structure, readable code and a handover document. Custom does not have to mean locked in.

Questions

PHP development in Mumbai, answered

What does a PHP website development company in Mumbai do?

It designs, builds and maintains websites and web applications written in PHP, usually with a MySQL database behind them. That covers custom websites, admin panels, logins, catalogues and API connections. Scale Delight builds in core PHP and Laravel from Kandivali West, and our SEO team works on the same projects, so the site is built to rank as well as to run.

Should I choose PHP or WordPress?

WordPress suits content-led sites your team edits daily. Custom PHP suits sites with their own workflows, logins, calculators or catalogues that no plugin handles cleanly. Upkeep differs too: Patchstack reported 11,334 new vulnerabilities across the WordPress ecosystem in 2025, and 91% of them were in plugins. We build both and tell you which one fits your case.

Do you build on WordPress, Shopify or Wix as well?

Yes. Besides PHP and Laravel, we build custom WordPress themes and plugins, Shopify stores with custom Liquid sections, and Wix sites for brands already on that platform. We also build PHP landing pages for ad campaigns. The platform follows the project, not the other way round.

Which languages and technologies do you work in?

PHP 8 and Laravel with MySQL on the back end, and HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and jQuery on the front end, plus WordPress, Shopify Liquid and Wix on the platform side. We also handle REST API work, hosting migrations, SSL and Git. If a project needs a stack we do not work in, we tell you instead of learning it on your budget.

PHP or Laravel: which is right for my project?

Core PHP is fine for mostly page-based websites. Laravel makes sense when the site behaves like an application, with user roles, dashboards, payments, queues, notifications or an API. Laravel is also the most widely used PHP framework, with 61% of PHP developers in JetBrains' State of PHP survey using it regularly, which makes it easier for another team to pick up later.

How much does a PHP website cost in Mumbai?

It depends on the page count, the custom features and the integrations. A company website with a few dynamic sections costs far less than a portal with logins and dashboards. We share a fixed quote after a short discovery call, and if WordPress would do the job for less, we say so.

How long does a PHP website take to build?

A standard eight to twelve page PHP website usually takes four to six weeks once the design is approved and the content is ready. Web applications with logins and dashboards take longer and are built in phases, so you can use the first working screens while the rest is built.

Can you build a website in an emergency?

Yes, and we do it often. If your site is down, hacked or gone, or a campaign is already booked, we reorder our work and put a clean version live in days rather than weeks. Rush work is priced differently, because it means moving other projects and working late, and we agree the scope and the real deadline before starting.

Do we get the source code and database?

Yes. The code, the database and the hosting account stay in your company's name. You get a copy at launch along with a short document covering how the site is structured and how to update content.

Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?

Only if it is handled carelessly. Rankings drop when URLs change without redirects, or when pages that were earning traffic get cut. We map every old URL to a new one, keep that content, and watch Search Console for errors after launch.

Is PHP still a good choice in 2026?

Yes. W3Techs data from September 2026 shows PHP running 70.2% of websites whose server-side language can be detected, far ahead of every other language. The real risk is old code rather than PHP itself: around 28.7% of PHP sites still run PHP 7, which no longer gets security fixes. We build on PHP 8 and keep sites on a supported version.

Do you maintain the website after launch?

Yes. Monthly maintenance covers PHP, framework and plugin updates, backups, uptime checks, security fixes and small content changes, with a short report each month. SEO and paid campaigns can run from the same team if you want one point of contact.

Do you work with businesses outside Mumbai?

Yes. Our office is in Kandivali West, Mumbai, and we build for clients across India, including Bengaluru, Pune and Delhi NCR, as well as clients in Germany, Australia and Nigeria.
