Why We Use Laravel for Web Applications
PHP powers 77% of the web, and Laravel is its most popular and actively maintained framework. Laravel provides everything needed to build a web application: database management with Eloquent ORM, HTML rendering with Blade, authentication with Laravel Breeze/Jetstream, background jobs with queues, real-time with broadcasting, and file storage with the filesystem abstraction. The framework is opinionated in the right ways — conventions reduce decision fatigue and keep codebases consistent. Companies like Twitch (internal tools), 9GAG, and Invoice Ninja use Laravel.
Key Benefits of Laravel for Web Applications
Rapid development
Artisan CLI generates models, controllers, migrations, and tests in seconds. Convention over configuration means less boilerplate.
Eloquent ORM
Active Record pattern makes database operations intuitive. Complex queries, relationships, and eager loading in clean, readable PHP.
Rich ecosystem
Laravel Forge (deployment), Vapor (serverless), Nova (admin panel), Cashier (billing), Sanctum (API auth), and Horizon (queues).
Affordable hosting
PHP hosting is the cheapest and most widely available. Shared hosting starts at $5/month; Laravel Forge automates server management.

How We Build Web Applications with Laravel
A Laravel web application uses Eloquent models for database interaction, Blade templates (or Inertia.js with Vue/React) for the frontend, and Laravel controllers for HTTP logic. The migration system tracks database changes in code, enabling safe deployments. Authentication comes pre-built with Laravel Breeze (simple) or Jetstream (advanced with 2FA, API tokens). For background processing, Laravel queues handle email sending, report generation, and data imports asynchronously. The broadcasting system enables real-time features via WebSockets. Laravel Nova or Filament provides an instant admin panel for content and data management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Laravel still relevant in 2026?
Yes. Laravel is the most popular PHP framework and one of the most active open-source projects. PHP powers 77% of the web, and Laravel is its modern, elegant layer.
Laravel vs Next.js: which should I choose?
Choose Laravel if your team knows PHP, you want affordable hosting, or you need a traditional server-rendered application. Choose Next.js if you want a React-based frontend with serverless deployment.
How much does a Laravel web app cost?
A Laravel web application typically costs $20,000-$100,000 for an MVP, depending on complexity. Laravel development is often 20-30% cheaper than Node.js or Python alternatives due to the larger developer pool.
