Looking for the best web technology? Can’t find good software that can do the job you need? Or are you sick of paying hefty monthly subscription fees?
If you’ve researched or trialled other software like Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, or Drupal, and it can’t quite achieve what you want, we recommend you consider website software called Laravel.
Laravel is an easily accessible open-source robust framework for web development based on PHP coding language.
Laravel is becoming a widely use PHP framework globally because many highly skilled experienced PHP developers love the power and flexibility to rapidly build complex and unique web solutions.
Laravel can be used to develop websites, web applications, and internal business systems. Almost anything you dream up can be created and our Laravel developers at Concise Digital are the team to do it.
At Concise, we have our own team of Laravel experts who use the Laravel framework to quickly and cost-effectively custom-build websites and web applications that meet the unique functional requirements for specific business clients.
Laravel is often the perfect solution when nothing else exists ‘off-the-shelf’ or when off-the-shelf software is not good enough or is too expensive.
Why Choose Laravel?
The Perfect Fit
Unlike other out-of-the-box software, web solutions built in Laravel are completely custom, which means the solution can be designed and built to meet 100% of your business needs. We can create web software systems that are the perfect fit.
Most software may only meet some of your business requirements. Some businesses end up compromising with a 60% or 80% match, and then you have to change how you do business to suit the pre-built off-the-shelf software.
Other off-the-shelf software comes with functionality and features you’ll never use, but you pay for anyway. This means you waste your money on bloated and under-used software, which never makes good business sense.
This is not the case with web solutions custom-built in Laravel. With Laravel, we plan, design and build exactly what you need to fit how you want to do your business. And with Laravel, the software can be quickly and easily modified or extended if or when your business processes need to change. (This is another reason we love Laravel, and so do lots of our clients.)
Prebuilt content management systems (CMS) like PrestaShop, WordPress or Drupal come with a core system and you can purchase or build extra modules/plugins/apps to add functionality. Pre-built software can be configured, but you usually cannot change them. And of course the admin interfaces are not fully customisable.
The same goes for other software like customer relationship management systems (CRM), where you are limited to what functionality the platform provides.
In Laravel, there is no core admin. All of your specific web software solution is built just for you, BUT Laravel comes with software ‘building blocks’, a bit like Lego blocks. With these blocks of code, we quickly and easily build your site from scratch with exactly the design, layout and functionality you need for both public-facing screens and pages and internal-admin-facing screens and pages.
This means you can decide exactly how you want your web software solution to work in the backend for your staff and on the front end for your customers. You won’t have to make any compromises and you get a 100% Perfect Fit.
Total Ownership
With Laravel, you own the software that we build for you. A custom-built Laravel software solution can make great business sense for your business. Your unique software is your intellectual property, and can become a very valuable asset for your business.
When you own the code, you are always in full control. You are not at the mercy of third-party software developers who may go out of business. You don’t have the risks from using third party proprietary software where someone else might decide to change the future direction or functionality of the software.
Laravel is an open-source PHP framework. PHP is the most common coding language used by web developers worldwide. Your system belongs to you. You can move away from Concise and use other Laravel programmers if you wish. We don’t have long-term contracts, so you are not locked in to Concise Digital or anyone else.
Laravel gives you powerful software, together with ongoing freedom and flexibility. It’s a smart business decision.
No Ongoing Fees or No License Fees
While Laravel projects often have a higher upfront cost than other software, they are less cost in the long run. Your Laravel web solution will be built from scratch, so more planning, design and web development time is required at the beginning compared with an off-the-shelf system that you just set up and configure.
However, the ongoing costs are much lower, as there are no ongoing license fees or subscription fees associated with the software, theme, or apps. All you need to pay for is a web hosting fee plus whatever time is involved to keep your software system up to date with any required fixes or changes.
This is a stark contrast to other off-the-shelf CMS software like Shopify or CRM management software such as Monday, where you pay both subscription fees and monthly fees for the apps required to add extra functionality.
Laravel is also very efficient and low-cost to host compared to other software like PrestaShop.
Not Locked into One Developer or Development Agency
Laravel is a well-known PHP framework that any very good PHP developer could work on. There is a large community of developers experienced in PHP throughout the world, and global communities of programmers who love to work on Laravel.
This means you aren’t locked into using any particular developer or web development agency. You are free to move if you wish, without losing your website.
Laravel isn’t just
for Websites.
You Dream it, Laravel Can Build It
You can build absolutely anything in Laravel given that it uses a PHP database. This includes internal business software like customer relationship management systems (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP), Point of Sale systems (POS), accounting systems, and booking systems, as well as web app development.
If you are struggling to find a software out there that ticks all your boxes, it might be a good idea to get a custom system built that can grow with your business and allows for flexibility and agility.
While building custom software can have a high upfront cost, since you own the software there are no ongoing subscription costs.
You might have heard of proprietary CRM software such as Accello or Monday. These systems might do 5 out of the 10 things you need the software to do but could end up costing you $thousands per year in license fees.
Compare that with your own custom-built Laravel CRM. If you have lots of employees, then software platforms like Accello that charge fees per user per month all add up to be a lot of money when you have many employees.
And most importantly, your CRM can be built to fulfil every need you have, not just a few. Why not consider a CRM that will give you a 100% Perfect Fit?
Is Laravel Right For You?
Laravel could be the best software to consider if you that need a bespoke solution.
If you have a seemingly complex web application or website idea and don’t want to compromise on functionality, Laravel is the software for the task.
It is usually far more time-effective to build something from scratch in Laravel rather than trying to re-code a prebuilt system to do what you need.
However, the Laravel framework is only recommended for businesses that truly want or need something unique when other software on the market is not good enough for you or not cost-effective for you.
If you can find good reliable, proven and secure software that will ‘do the job’ well enough and comes with a low monthly fee, then of course you need to consider that as your first option.
As part of our Solution Architecture consulting, we can help you identify your requirements, and then search for other available software solutions. If together we can’t find a good pre-existing option, then we will consider Laravel.
