Platforms, portals and products, engineered to scale

Booking platforms, customer portals, SaaS products and internal tools built in Laravel, from the people who build and run their own platforms every day.

Some ideas do not fit a website or an off-the-shelf tool. For those we design and engineer custom web applications: booking and listing platforms, customer portals, marketplaces, SaaS products and the internal tools that run them.

We run platforms ourselves

Social Dealers operates its own products: a social media marketing panel, a link-in-bio platform and a hosting and billing portal. That means we live with the realities clients rarely see in a proposal, such as uptime, payment edge cases, support tickets, permissions and security, every single day.

For clients we have built stay-booking platforms with separate owner and guest logins in multiple languages, and pet import and export service sites with partner management.

How we build

  • Laravel and MySQL as the default stack: mature, secure and easy to hire for later
  • Version control in private repositories, with every release deployed deliberately, never automatically
  • A full backup before any change touches a live system
  • Automated tests around the parts that handle money and data

Modernising what you already have

Running an older Laravel or PHP application? We audit, secure and upgrade legacy codebases step by step, preserving your URLs and data, so you get a modern, supported framework without a risky big-bang rewrite.

What you get

  • Product scoping and technical architecture
  • User accounts, roles and permissions
  • Admin dashboards and reporting
  • Payment, email and third-party API integrations
  • Multi-language support
  • Automated tests and staged deployments
  • Security review and hardening
  • Ongoing maintenance and feature releases

FAQ

Custom Platforms & Web Apps questions

Can you take over an existing application?
Yes. We start with a read-only audit of the code, data and hosting, then agree a plan to stabilise, secure and improve it without breaking what works.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code lives in a private repository and is handed over in full.
