Laravel. The Discerning Developers’ Choice
There are plenty of great reasons why Laravel has become the go-to PHP web application framework for discerning developers. Businesses, of all shapes and sizes, are also increasingly looking to Laravel to get more bang for their website buck.
An open-source tool, Laravel offers elegant syntax and expressive features with a focus on developer experience. While it might not be the most accessible option for non-coders, its flexibility, performance, and security combine to create a uniquely powerful development platform for high-performance websites.
Let's explore some of the key reasons why so many people love using Laravel, and why it may well be the best choice for your next web development project.
Why teams keep choosing it
Performance
When user experience is your A1 priority (and why wouldn’t it be?) Laravel’s feature-rich, fast-to-load, high-performance websites increase customer satisfaction, strengthen engagement and ultimately improve business outcomes. Despite all the developer love out there, choosing to use Laravel is very much a business decision - a smart business decision.
Cost-Effectiveness
Open-source and free-to-use, Laravel offers significant cost savings when compared to many proprietary website builders, especially when it comes to long-term projects. Its clean, expressive syntax makes code easier (and faster) to write, read, and maintain. Simple collaborative time-saving that also saves you £££s.
Customisation and Flexibility
Many website builders offer limited customisation options. Though ‘out of the box’, Laravel is completely flexible - allowing you to create unique, tailored solutions with easy integration of third-party packages to match your exact needs. Instead of your website ending up straight-jacketed into pre-built templates or modules, you get the website you and your customers really want.
Scalability
As your business grows, your website needs to flex with it. Laravel’s horizontal scaling, efficient database management, caching, queueing, and load balancing mean that even the most modest websites can easily evolve into the most complex, feature-rich, enterprise-level systems, without the need for major overhauls.
Security
You won’t want to skimp on security, and Laravel doesn’t. With out-of-the-box security features, including protection against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, Laravel is already one step ahead of threat. More website security for less effort.
Confidence
There’s nothing worse than launching a new site or features only for it to instantly fall over. Designed with testing in mind, Laravel includes built-in testing tools for more robust, reliable, and successful applications. As the Laravel site so rightly says, “No more brittle tests that are a nightmare to maintain. Beautiful testing APIs, database seeding, and painless browser testing let you ship with confidence.”
Future Proofing
With an active and devoted community, Laravel’s not going anywhere. Ongoing development and evolution make sure Laravel-based websites will always remain secure, efficient, and compatible with the latest, most useful emerging technologies as they appear.

How we do it
Our clients say it best
“The experience of working with 1994 was exemplary.”
Their attention to detail regarding the deliverables and their level of customer service were second to none. We always felt in the loop on progress. If any challenges presented themselves that even hinted at impacting timescales or our delivery path, 1994 were forthcoming & transparent in what they were and how they intended to deal with them. The process was simply a joy from start to finish.
