Your Go-To Expert for Fixing & Customizing PHP ScriptsMarc Brown
Stuck with a buggy PHP script or a template that doesn’t fit your business?
I specialize in debugging, upgrading, and customizing PHP scripts (Laravel, CodeIgniter, vanilla PHP, and popular marketplace scripts) so they’re stable, secure, and easy to maintain. Clear communication, safe staging, and results you can trust no drama.
What's included
Deliverable 1: Diagnostic Audit & Fix Plan
I’ll review your codebase, reproduce the bugs, and deliver a clear list of issues, root causes, and the exact fixes I’ll apply.
Deliverable 2: Bug Fixes & Stability Repairs
I’ll resolve PHP errors, broken features, and edge-case failures (forms, auth, file uploads, emails, cron jobs), with regression testing.
Deliverable 3: Custom Features & UI Tweaks
I’ll add or modify features (dashboards, roles/permissions, reports, webhooks), refine UX, and update views to match your brand.
Deliverable 4: Version & Dependency Upgrades
I’ll upgrade PHP/Laravel/Composer packages, replace deprecated functions, and ensure compatibility with your hosting stack.
Deliverable 5: Security Hardening
I’ll implement input validation, CSRF/XSS/SQLi protections, secure auth flows, and environment/secret best practices.
Deliverable 6: Performance Optimization
I’ll profile slow endpoints/queries, add caching where appropriate, and streamline database indexes and N+1 queries.
Deliverable 7: Safe Deployment & Handoff
Work happens in a staging environment first. I’ll deploy safely, write release notes, and record a short walkthrough so your team can continue confidently.
Optional Add-ons
- API integrations (Stripe/PayPal, Twilio, HubSpot, Shopify, custom REST/GraphQL)
- Database migrations & data cleanup (schema changes, dedupe, backups)
- Dockerization + CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI)
- Monitoring & logs (Sentry, Laravel Telescope, custom audit logs)
- Monthly maintenance plan (updates, backups, small fixes, uptime checks)
FAQs
Yes I’ve worked on Laravel, CodeIgniter, raw PHP, and commercial scripts. Share the code and I’ll assess quickly.
Absolutely. I’ve customized many off-the-shelf scripts and can adapt them to your workflow.
No I work on a staging copy first, then deploy changes safely.
Yes I can make older scripts compatible with newer PHP versions for performance and security.
Small fixes = same day. Larger customizations = typically 2–7 days, depending on scope.
