Why Black Cap IT
PHP specialists, not just
developers who know PHP
01
They'll read your existing code
Most PHP engagements involve an existing codebase. Our developers are comfortable jumping into unfamiliar code, understanding it quickly, and extending it cleanly — without rewriting everything.
02
Senior-only. No bait and switch.
Every developer has 4+ years of PHP production experience. We don't present senior profiles and then assign juniors — what's in the brief is who shows up.
03
Timezone overlap that actually works
Our developers flex hours to give you 4–6 hours of real-time overlap with EST, GMT, or CET. Questions get answered same-day, not the next morning.
04
White-label and NDA from day one
We sign NDAs before any code is shared. We can work under your brand, inside your tools — completely invisible to your end clients if that's what you need.
05
5-day replacement guarantee
If a developer isn't working out for any reason, we replace them within 5 business days at no extra cost. No awkward conversations on your end.

Client Stories
Agencies and product teams that trusted us with their backend
Sprinto · SaaS / GRC Platform
“Our Laravel API needed someone who could hit the ground running without months of onboarding. Black Cap IT delivered a developer who was pushing commits by day two. Four years on, they’re still with us.”
Pritesh V.
VP Marketing & Growth, Sprinto
Cherry Marketing · Digital Agency, Netherlands
“We needed a PHP developer who could maintain existing client sites and build new features — not someone who’d rewrite everything from scratch. BCIT understood that from the first call. Five years later, still going.”
Nikola Popović
Technical Director, Cherry Marketing

Talk to Our Team →
What PHP frameworks do your developers specialise in?
Laravel is our primary framework — the majority of our PHP engagements involve Laravel 10 or 11. Our developers are also experienced with Symfony, CodeIgniter, and plain OOP PHP. For legacy systems, we have developers who know older codebases well and won’t immediately suggest a full rewrite.
Can your PHP developers work on an existing codebase?
Yes — and this is one of the most common requests we get. Our developers are experienced at reading, understanding, and extending existing PHP codebases, including legacy systems running PHP 5.x or 7.x. They won’t push for a rewrite unless there’s a strong technical reason.
Do you handle PHP to Laravel migrations?
Yes. We’ve migrated dozens of legacy PHP applications to Laravel. The process starts with a codebase audit, followed by a phased migration plan that keeps your live system running throughout. We don’t do big-bang rewrites — we move incrementally and test as we go.
How quickly can I hire a PHP developer from Black Cap IT?
We match you with 1–3 vetted PHP developer profiles within 24 hours of your brief. Once you approve a developer, they’re onboarded into your tools and contributing within 48 hours. No weeks of interviews.
Is this white-label? Will my clients know you're involved?
Not unless you tell them. We sign NDAs upfront and can operate entirely under your brand — your Slack workspace, your email domain, your project management tools. Many of our agency clients have been with us for years on this basis.
Can I start with just a few hours and scale up?
Absolutely. Our hourly model starts at 10 hours per week — plenty for maintenance, bug fixes, or small feature additions. You can scale to part-time or full-time with just 2 weeks’ notice whenever your project demands it.
