Now approaching its 30th anniversary, PHP remains a cornerstone of modern web development. At Studio Present, 99% of our projects are built using PHP, underscoring our confidence in its capabilities. Our primary framework, Drupal, is also powered by PHP, reinforcing its foundational role in our development stack.
By 2024, PHP will dominate the web, powering over 75% of all websites, online applications and e-commerce platforms. This widespread adoption speaks volumes about its reliability and performance.
Combined with JavaScript, HTML and CSS, PHP enables the creation of timeless applications that are both stable and robust. Many of our e-commerce sites have been running smoothly for over a decade without major issues, demonstrating PHP's stability and long-term reliability.
It's a comprehensive toolkit for building modern, dynamic and secure web applications. Whether you're starting a new project or enhancing an existing one, PHP offers the flexibility, performance, and community support you need to succeed.
PHP powers everything from small personal blogs to massive social media platforms like Facebook. It's highly scalable, which means your website can grow with your business. No matter the size or complexity of your project, PHP can handle it.
Our main e-commerce portal is based on Drupal Commerce. Any custom modules we need to write for specific cases are written in PHP based on Drupal standards.
If we need to connect to some third party API like CRM for example, we are using already done module from the community or do the customization for specific client needs.
PHP is not resource intensive. With a ~40/month bare metal machine you can easily server 50k visits per day with many requests and calls to the db. Depending on the nature of your new web application, we can easily scale up or down because we have an experienced in-house DevOps team that will handle any server side requests.
PHP is built for performance. Its scripts execute faster than those written in many other languages, which translates into faster load times for your website. Faster websites lead to a better user experience and can improve your search engine rankings.
Let's be clear: PHP may not be the latest or hottest programming language, but it offers something far more valuable - experience and proven reliability. With PHP, you benefit from a pool of developers who have honed their skills over decades. It's not uncommon to find programmers with 20 years of PHP experience.
This wealth of experience translates into faster development cycles and shippable products that can be evaluated and deployed quickly. PHP allows you to build robust applications without the need for extensive and costly infrastructure, saving you both time and money.
Cost-effective solution
PHP is open source, which means it's free to use. There are no licensing fees, and it runs on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
Strong community support
A large, active community of developers is constantly contributing to new versions. Making PHP stronger and stronger over the years.
Secure and reliable
Security is a top priority when developing PHP. The language includes many features to protect against common threats such as SQL injection, data tampering, and XSS attacks. With PHP, you can build secure, reliable applications that protect user data and maintain trust.
Technical superiority: Object-Oriented Programming
PHP supports object-oriented programming (OOP), a paradigm that allows for more modular, reusable, and maintainable code. OOP in PHP allows developers to create classes and objects, simplifying complex coding tasks and improving collaboration on large projects.
Together with StudioPresent, we were able to successfully complete our product within a year.
