Where Laravel fits
Most Laravel work in this practice is not a replacement for WordPress, it is a service that sits alongside one. Custom APIs, billing logic, multi-tenant dashboards, scheduled jobs, and headless front ends backed by Laravel Sanctum or Passport are the common shapes. The decision to use Laravel comes from system constraints, not from preference.
What I work on
Typical scopes include Laravel 11 service builds, Inertia or Livewire admin panels, Horizon queue workers, Filament panels, payment integration (Stripe, Przelewy24, MultiSafepay), webhook handlers for WooCommerce events, and migration paths from a WordPress monolith to a Laravel-based backend behind a headless front end.
What I avoid
I do not pitch Laravel as a default rebuild. If the existing WordPress system can carry the new requirement with a plugin or a small custom code path, that stays the better answer. Laravel arrives when the cost of staying on the monolith is higher than the migration cost.
Frequently asked questions
When does Laravel make sense over WordPress?
When the application surface needs first-class queues, multi-tenant data isolation, complex auth, or a service that does not fit the WordPress data and request model. The decision is not about preference, it is about system fit.
Can you migrate a WooCommerce store to Laravel?
Yes, as a phased migration. The first phase is usually a Laravel backend behind the existing WooCommerce checkout, then incremental cutover of catalog, orders, and customer data. The risky path is a single big-bang rewrite.
Do you work with Filament, Livewire, or Inertia?
Yes, all three. Filament for admin panels, Livewire for server-rendered UI, Inertia for SPA-shaped UX with a Laravel backend. The pick depends on the team that has to maintain it.
What about Laravel Vapor or Forge?
Forge for VPS-shaped deployments, Vapor when serverless on AWS fits the workload. Cloudflare Workers on Laravel-adjacent edge logic is in scope too.
Do you take pure Laravel work without a WordPress connection?
Yes, when the scope is well bounded and the system is one I can keep in my head. The commercial focus stays on WordPress-adjacent Laravel, but standalone Laravel services are a fit when the business case is real.
