Why do you still work with PHP when people have moved to Angular, React, or Next.js?

PHP is still one of the most reliable and practical technologies for real-world business websites and web applications. I continue working with PHP because I already support 100+ client websites and systems built over many years.

Modern frontend frameworks like Angular, React, and Next.js are powerful, but they often require more expensive infrastructure, specialized hosting, build pipelines, and ongoing maintenance. Platforms like Vercel may work well for startups and modern SaaS products, but not every business wants or can afford that setup.

With PHP:

• Websites can run on almost any hosting provider
• Shared hosting to enterprise servers are supported
• Hosting costs remain affordable
• Maintenance is simpler for many business owners
• WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel, and custom PHP systems are still widely used worldwide

I also work with headless CMS and modern frontend stacks when the project truly needs them. The technology should fit the business requirement, not trends alone.

I want to start a website. What should I prepare and share?

Starting a website becomes much easier when the basics are clear from the beginning.

Here is what I usually suggest:

Decide the domain name first

Example: abc.com

Your domain is your online identity, so choosing the right one is important.

Decide whether you need a backend/admin panel

Questions to think about:

• Will you update content regularly?
• Do you need user login?
• Will you manage products, blogs, or bookings?
• Do you need payment integration?

If yes, then a backend/CMS or custom admin panel may be required.

Decide the development approach

There are multiple ways to build a website:

• From scratch (fully custom) WordPress/ Drupal
• Using premium templates
• WordPress-based free templates
• Headless CMS setup
• Laravel/PHP web app
• Static landing page

The decision depends on:

• Budget
• Timeline
• Speed requirements
• Future scalability

Share your branding assets

Helpful things to share:

• Logo
• Fonts preference
• Color references
• Website examples you like
• Content/text
• Images/videos
• Business details

Hosting and server planning

Not every website needs an expensive cloud server.

Together we can decide:

• Shared hosting
• VPS
• Cloud hosting
• Dedicated server
• CDN requirements
• Email hosting

The goal is to choose something fair, scalable, and cost-effective for your actual business needs.

Do you only work with WordPress?

No. WordPress is one of my major areas of expertise, but I also work with:

• Custom PHP applications
• Laravel
• WooCommerce
• Drupal
• Headless CMS
• Contentful
• Shopify integrations

Why choose a custom website instead of a template?

Templates are useful for quick launches, but custom websites provide:

• Better branding
• Faster performance optimization
• Cleaner code structure
• Better SEO possibilities
• Custom workflows
• Easier long-term scaling

Sometimes templates are enough, and sometimes custom development is the better investment. It depends on the project goals.
