Laravel development — backend, APIs and tailored web applications

We are Laravel developers with 10+ years of experience from Denmark. Together we build reliable, purpose-driven solutions in Laravel — from minor extensions to complex business systems on an hourly rate.

Laravel development

Laravel is the leading PHP framework for building web applications, APIs and backend solutions. With more than 12 years on the market, Laravel has established itself as a robust, secure and future-proof platform used by companies like Disney, Warner Brothers and The New York Times.

At Wacky Studio we have worked with Laravel since the very beginning. We are full-time Laravel developers, and we take responsibility both for new projects built from scratch and for further development of existing Laravel solutions — wherever in Denmark you are located. We work on an hourly rate, so you only pay for the actual development, and you can adjust scope along the way.

  • 10+ years of experience with Laravel development
  • Backend, APIs and full web applications
  • Integrations with ERP, CRM and external systems
  • Tailored solutions instead of templates
  • Hosting, support and maintenance
  • Companion apps and matching frontends in Vue.js

Laravel is our preferred tool for complex backend solutions and business-critical web applications

Why choose Laravel?

Laravel is built by developers, for developers — but it is the client who feels the benefits. The framework is fast to develop in, mature enough to be safe in production, and has a community so large that we rarely need to build anything from scratch that others have already solved.

For you that means three things: shorter development time, lower overall cost, and a solution that is easy to maintain and extend two, five and ten years from now. You are not locked in to one agency — Laravel developers exist all over the world, and your code is readable and documented.

We choose Laravel when the task requires more than a standard CMS — typically when integrations with other systems, user and permission handling, or custom business rules are needed.

Technologies & tools

We work with the latest Laravel versions and the entire ecosystem around the framework. That includes Laravel Forge for server management, Laravel Vapor for serverless hosting, Laravel Nova for admin panels, as well as Livewire and Inertia.js for modern frontend integration.

Our typical stack: Laravel (PHP), MySQL, Redis, Vue.js, Laravel Forge, Laravel Vapor and Laravel Nova.

We also have hands-on experience integrating Laravel with external systems like Stripe, Pipedrive, Monitor ERP, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Bikedesk / Customers 1st.

When a project requires a CMS on top of a Laravel backend, we typically use Statamic — it is built on Laravel, runs without a database and without plugins, and is becoming the standard for modern CMS projects in Denmark. For more classic content sites or webshops we pair Laravel with WordPress instead.

Tailored backend solutions, robust APIs and Laravel development with focus on security, support and scalability

Our Laravel services

We have used Laravel since its very first version and have built everything from e-learning platforms and webshops to VR training systems and business-critical APIs. Over the years we have learned to use Laravel for what it is — flexible enough to solve almost any backend task, and solid enough that the solutions still run years after they were delivered.

These four areas cover the majority of what we do in Laravel:

Backend development

We build Laravel backends from scratch — from databases and business logic to admin panels and user management. We delivered the e-learning platform for Alcon with training programs and certification for opticians, Easyform — a booking and workshop flow solution for the cycling industry integrated with Bikedesk, and the website and webshop for Næsbyhoved Skov streamlining everything from food and event sales to kitchen packaging.

For us, a backend is not just a place where data lives. It is the tool that makes your business faster, more streamlined and measurable — and that is how we design it.

API development

If your web solution needs to talk to an app, a VR headset, a tablet or another external system, it requires a well-built API. We have developed APIs for VR TRAINER — the clinical VR training platform where headset and web application exchange data in real time — and for Easyform, where booking and workshop flow integrates with the third-party system Bikedesk.

We design APIs that are secure, documented and fast to work with — so much so that we have written Build an API with Laravel, the book on Laravel API development, sold in 81 countries and used by developers around the world.

Extensions and integrations

Do you already have a Laravel solution that needs further development? We have extensive experience working with existing codebases — also those built by others — and extending them without disrupting the foundation. We have built companion apps for smartphones, webshop modules, synchronisation with inventory systems, and integrations such as the Bikedesk connection in Easyform that ties booking, workshop and inventory together.

We respect the solution you already have, adapt to your code style, and deliver extensions that add concrete value without creating technical debt.

Support and maintenance

Laravel solutions need to be kept up to date — code, packages and servers alike. We offer ongoing support and maintenance for Laravel applications, whether we built them ourselves or took them over from another agency.

We have seen Laravel projects on all kinds of server setups, with packages and extensions of widely varying quality. We use that experience to navigate the challenges that typically arise, keep solutions secure and fast, and make sure they keep running as they should — even when Laravel itself jumps a version forward.

Frequently asked questions about Laravel development

How much does Laravel development at Wacky Studio cost?

We work both on hourly and fixed-price basis depending on what fits the project best. Our prices are described on our prices page. Smaller Laravel solutions are a manageable investment, while business-critical systems with integrations and custom backend are larger projects. We always provide an estimate based on a concrete brief before we start.

Laravel, WordPress or Statamic — which should we choose?

The short answer: WordPress when you primarily need a website with content and perhaps a webshop, and you are willing to live with plugins and the maintenance they require. Statamic when you want a modern, flexible CMS without a database and without plugin clutter — it runs on top of Laravel and is gaining ground as the preferred choice among developers in Denmark, because it is faster, more secure and easier to build tailored solutions on top of. Laravel when you need a web application with its own business logic, user management, integrations or something that does not look like other solutions on the market.

We often build combinations: Statamic or WordPress for content, Laravel as the backend for business-critical parts. As a single agency with expertise in all three, we help you choose the right one — not the one we happen to know.

Can you take over an existing Laravel project from another agency?

Yes, we do that often. We typically start with a code review where we go through the codebase, server setup, packages and documentation. Then we give an honest assessment of what can be developed further as-is, what should be refactored, and what may need to be rebuilt. You only pay for the review itself — there is no obligation to continue with us afterwards.

What integrations can you build in Laravel?

We have hands-on integration experience with Stripe, Pipedrive, Monitor ERP, Google Ads, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Bikedesk / Customers 1st. We also build custom APIs to integrate with your own internal systems or other line-of-business tools, as long as they have a documented API or webhook.

Do you also build frontends for Laravel applications?

Yes. We build frontends in Vue.js, Livewire or Inertia.js — depending on the project. For more content-heavy sites we pair Laravel with Statamic as the CMS. You get one supplier for the entire stack, so you do not have to coordinate between backend and frontend agencies.

Do you offer hosting and support after the project is delivered?

Yes. We offer service agreements where we handle hosting, ongoing updates of Laravel and its packages, security patches and server monitoring. That means you always have a team that knows the code, in case something goes down or you want to build further.

Do you work with clients across Denmark?

Yes. We are based in Odense, but work with clients across the country — from Copenhagen to Aalborg. Most of the work happens online via calls, Slack or email, and we meet in person when the project calls for it.
