When is Laravel the right choice?
The role of Laravel within web development is very well defined to those who use it.
Some frameworks give you a lot of polish and almost finished functionality and pages out of the box.
Frameworks like Laravel give you less complete areas up-front, but give you huge underlying power to efficiently build up custom functionality that might be too advanced for the aforementioned CMS frameworks.
Of these more powerful frameworks, Laravel reigns supreme. While other newer frameworks have become increasingly popular, PHP has retained its near 80% dominance within all web traffic. Facebook, Wikipedia and all WordPress sites are a few examples of its most powerful and complex implementation.
Laravel has been one of the main driving forces behind keeping PHP on top within an ever changing and evolving environment of programming languages and frameworks.

PHP framework
Laravel is PHP web framework that provides the best available foundation for building complex, secure and expandable websites.
The framework comes with a huge host of background features and benefits that allows Laravel developers to work faster and simpler; leaving more time for the team to focus on making the project great, safe in the knowledge that the fundamentals are already taken care of by the underlying framework.
Speed is also massively increased as Laravel provides several methods for building in simpler and smarter ways.
The strengths of Laravel website development
The core strengths of the Laravel framework include its elegant syntax, built-in tools for common tasks such as authentication and caching, and an active and supportive community.
It also includes an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system, support for multiple mail and queueing systems, built-in task scheduler, and an easy-to-use command-line interface (CLI) called Artisan.
Additionally, Laravel’s built-in support for unit testing helps ensure that the application is stable and bug-free.

Laravel Website Services
What you get out of the box with Laravel is a framework with a few working front-end pages, but unlike something WordPress or Umbraco, this is the idea.
There are pre-built functions and methods to create users, have a secure admin area and manage pages, but these need to be built out by a developer.
This allows for a much higher level of bespoke development than the pre-packaged CMS’s.
One of the best and most convenient part of Laravel is the simplification of package based inclusion. T
his gives every Laravel project out there access to thousands of tested, ready to go packages that add in a set of features or provide some back-end functionality.
This means that when building a site or adding in upgrades, one of these packages can be used as a base to massively increase the speed of development, reduce costs but still increase the quality of the result.
Laravel as a long term viable solution
It’s important to us to consider the lifetime of every new website we build, with the choice of framework being an important part of that research and decision and why we so frequently end up on Laravel.
The first reason that we often choose Laravel as our first option for project lifetime and support reasons is that the updates are smaller and regular.
This means that whenever we start a project, we are working with the actual latest upgrades and not in a waiting period in the middle of a two year long release cycle!
We also look at popularity, support, growth and engineer preference when it comes to a framework.
Regardless of how well it performs, if no one is interested in or knows how to support and build on your site in a year or two, then that would be a huge failure.
While the other frameworks in this Google trends view are all great, none have the sustained popularity and momentum of Laravel.
The team at MintTwist is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We’ve now worked with them on three separate Laravel projects with an aim for more into the foreseeable future thanks to their flexibility and skill.

What is the latest version of Laravel?
The latest version of Laravel is 9.0.
Laravel transitioned to yearly releases with the release of Laravel 8., with the intention to ease the maintenance burden on development teams.
Previously, major versions were released every 6 months.
How popular is the laravel framework?
Laravel is a very popular PHP framework and has gained significant popularity and adoption among developers since its initial release in 2011.
According to Google Trends, Laravel has been steadily increasing in popularity over the years, and is currently one of the most popular PHP frameworks.
Laravel is also listed as one of the top PHP frameworks on several developer survey websites, including Stack Overflow and SitePoint.
The framework has a large and active community of developers, who contribute to the development of the framework, provide support and resources, and create packages and extensions.
Laravel’s popularity can be attributed to its ease of use, modular design, built-in features and tools, and active community support.
Laravel’s success has also been fuelled by the growing demand for PHP-based web applications, as well as the popularity of web development in general.
How long will it take to build a Laravel website?
The time it takes an agency to build a reasonably complicated Laravel website will depend on several factors, including the complexity of the website, the features and functionality required, the size of the agency, and the availability of website content and materials.
On average, it can take anywhere from 4-12 months to build a Laravel website with an agency.
For larger, more complex websites, the timeline can be much longer that require more design, development, and content creation work.
The timeline will include several stages, including project planning, design, development, content creation, testing, and launch.
The amount of time spent on each stage ultimately depends on the requirements of the project and the scope of work involved.
A reasonably complicated Laravel website would have the requirement for more advanced features and functionality, such as user authentication, e-commerce integration, custom CMS, and multiple API integrations. These features add to the complexity of the project and require more time to develop.
How much will it cost to build a Laravel website?
It can cost anywhere from £25,000 to £150,000 to build a Laravel website with an experienced agency.
However, the cost can be considerably higher for larger or more complex websites that require much more design and development work.
