Laravel web development for applications that last for years.

Laravel web development involves building custom web applications and platforms using Laravel, an open-source PHP framework. Cube uses it to develop customer portals, self-service platforms, LMS systems, process management tools, and integration layers for organizations that want to go beyond a standard CMS. You choose Laravel when complex business logic, integrations with other systems, or user roles are involved.

What is Laravel, and when should you choose it?

Laravel is an open-source PHP framework: a collection of ready-to-use building blocks that allow developers to build custom software faster and more reliably. Think of standard solutions for authentication, routing, and database operations via Eloquent, Laravel’s built-in way of interacting with your database. You don’t have to figure all of that out on your own, leaving you more time to focus on what makes your application unique. Laravel is the right choice when a standard package falls short. If you’re dealing with custom business logic, multiple systems that need to work together, or users who each require their own permissions and interfaces, then custom development in Laravel offers the flexibility that an off-the-shelf CMS simply doesn’t have.

And when isn't it? If you mainly want a discoverable showcase—a site that tells people who you are without much interaction—then Laravel misses the mark. In that case, you'll build faster and more affordably using a CMS. Making that clear distinction will save you a lot of frustration down the road.

Applications That Last for Years

How Cube Builds Laravel Applications.

Test Culture with Pest

We write automated feature and unit tests using Pest, the testing framework for Laravel. This means that your application’s functionality is guaranteed, not just hoped for: if someone makes a change later on, we’ll notice right away if something breaks unintentionally.

Security by design

We build security in from the very first line of code, not as an afterthought. We follow the OWASP guidelines, always verify authorization and input on the server side, and operate in accordance with ISO 27001 and NEN 7510. For sensitive data in the healthcare or government sectors, this isn’t a luxury—it’s a requirement.

AI Support

We use AI to speed up routine tasks during development. This isn’t science fiction—it simply means a shorter turnaround time because developers spend less time on repetitive work and more time on the things that really matter. Quality control remains in human hands.

Front-end

For richer interfaces, we integrate a modern front end with Laravel, using Vue or React. For server-driven interaction without a heavy front end, we use Livewire. We choose what works best for the application, not what happens to be trendy.

Take over or continue developing an existing Laravel application.

Are you stuck with a Laravel application built by another company? This happens more often than you might think, and it’s easy to fix. We’ll start with a technical scan of the dependencies, security, and existing tests, so you know exactly what you’re working with. Next, we’ll develop a plan for modernization and maintenance, and then we’ll take over management of the application. This way, you can build on what’s already there, rather than starting from scratch.

DMP en AI bij Cube

Laravel and AI Integration.

Laravel is a robust backend for AI features in your application. Think of integrations with language models, smart data processing, and automating processes that are currently done manually. Where data and machine learning play a more significant role, Python is often the more logical engine under the hood. In our approach to AI and workflow automation, we select the right combination for each specific challenge, and Laravel often serves as the stable foundation on which the rest runs.

Why we choose Laravel as our foundation.

In a world where technology is constantly changing, a solid foundation is essential. That’s why at Cube, we’ve made a conscious choice to use Laravel. Not because it’s trendy, but because it has been helping us build scalable, secure, and maintainable applications for over 10 years. For clients, this means faster delivery, less reliance on external tools, and a codebase that grows alongside the organization.

Questions about Laravel? No problem.

Laravel web development is het bouwen van maatwerk webapplicaties met Laravel, een open-source PHP-framework. Het wordt ingezet voor toepassingen die verder gaan dan een standaardwebsite, zoals klantportalen, platforms en procesmanagementtools met eigen bedrijfslogica en koppelingen.

Kies Laravel bij complexe bedrijfslogica, koppelingen met andere systemen en fijnmazige gebruikersrollen. Voor een pure brochure-website zonder veel maatwerk is een CMS sneller en goedkoper. Twijfel je? Dan helpt een korte analyse van je situatie je verder.

De kosten hangen af van de complexiteit, de functionaliteiten en de benodigde koppelingen. We brengen eerst je doelen en wensen in kaart en werken met transparante prijsafspraken, zodat je vooraf weet waar je aan toe bent.

Ja. We starten met een technische scan van de code, security en tests, maken een plan voor modernisering en nemen de applicatie daarna in beheer. Zo bouw je verder op wat er al staat.

Ja, mits de veiligheid vanaf het begin is ingebouwd. Cube werkt volgens de OWASP-richtlijnen, ISO 27001 en NEN 7510, controleert autorisatie serverside en host in Nederland. Daarmee is Laravel geschikt voor toepassingen met gevoelige gegevens.

Laravel is sterk voor webapplicaties, portalen en CMS-gedreven maatwerk. Python is sterker zodra data, rekenwerk of AI centraal staan. Omdat Cube beide beheerst, kiezen we de taal die bij jouw vraagstuk past.
