Working remotely with clients worldwide
PHP websites and backend features that fit your business process.
A custom PHP website can support a process that does not fit a standard theme or plugin. I help with database-backed pages, forms, admin workflows and integrations, as well as improvements to an existing codebase. We define the responsibilities and hosting requirements before implementation.

Related PHP and backend work at Healthus.ai. These examples involve WordPress and a legacy PHP migration, not a separate custom-PHP client application.

Headless WordPress content API
Designed and built a custom REST API exposing structured healthcare content — doctors, treatments, conditions, locations, hubs, health assessments and editorial content — to React and Next.js front ends.
Read the case studyWhat the work can include
- Custom PHP pages and server-side features
- Database-backed forms and agreed admin workflows
- Server-side validation and access rules
- REST endpoints and external API connections
- Testing, deployment notes and code handover
We agree on the deliverables, timeline and price before development starts.
Start with the records and rules
What information is stored, who can change it and what happens next? We answer these questions before designing tables or forms so the build supports the actual process.
Improve existing code carefully
I review the structure, PHP version and dependencies before proposing changes. A repair should not require an unnecessary rebuild. Larger changes need an agreed migration and recovery plan.
Include operational details
Database access, configuration, error logging and backups belong in the release discussion. We agree on testing and deployment, with private credentials kept out of public browser code and source history.
Before we start
Does PHP development mean WordPress?
No. Custom PHP development can be separate from WordPress. We assess the stack and requirements first.
Can you fix an older PHP site?
I can review it and propose a scope. Compatibility, dependencies and hosting may need additional work, which we discuss before changing the site.
Can you connect a JavaScript front end?
Yes. A PHP backend can provide endpoints for React, Next.js or Angular. We agree on the request and response contract first.
