Steadfast Collective are very smart developers, with access to excellent web design skills.They are able to solve complex business-critical issues and provide guidance through the whole process. This is what sets Steadfast apart from others.

Since 2015, Steadfast Collective has built Laravel platforms for organisations across the UK, from small API integrations to enterprise software used by the police, insurance companies and publicly traded businesses.

Our UK-based team of Laravel developers builds platforms designed to last, and we care about leaving the internet better than we found it.

Whether you're starting a new project, growing an existing platform or rescuing one that's struggling, we can help.

We're an official UK Laravel Premier Partner, building digital products and web applications that stand the test of time.

Why choose a UK Laravel agency

Working with a UK Laravel agency means your development team works in your time zone and understands the regulations you operate under, and can be in the room when it matters.

Our developers are based in the UK and work to UK GDPR and data protection standards. That's a big reason we're trusted with platforms handling sensitive data, including work for the police and insurance sectors.

You get a close, long-term partner rather than an outsourced resource: a team that knows your platform, answers quickly and plans ahead with you.

What we deliver: build, improve, scale

Whether your platform is an idea, live and growing, or in need of rescue, our Laravel team can take it forward.

Build

New Laravel applications built from the ground up around your goals. Reliable, secure software your team and members can depend on.

Improve

Upgrades, security audits, performance work and new features for existing Laravel applications, so your platform keeps getting better rather than falling behind.

Scale

When your platform is under strain or has outgrown its original build, we audit it, stabilise it and map out a plan to handle more users, more data and more complexity, including migrating to Laravel Cloud.

Our Three-Step Process for Laravel Development Services

01 - Discovery

The first piece of work on a Laravel development project is a deep dive into your project. We take time to learn about your organisation and the precise nature of your Laravel project. Only once we’ve uncovered all the project's features, goals, and elements can we move forward.

02 - Develop

Once we know exactly what you need from your Laravel application, we can assign our team to development. We have years of experience building software as a Laravel development agency, and each of our team is certified to ensure the highest quality throughout.

03 - Deliver

This is the final stage of the process and covers the delivery of your new Laravel project. We ensure the system is robustly tested in-house before handing it to you. Our involvement does not end there. When your system goes live, we will conduct a training session for your colleagues, sharing the new power at their fingertips.

Scale

Eleven years building with Laravel, tens of millions of users, and clients who stay. Here's what that looks like.

Tens of millions of users

Our Laravel platforms serve tens of millions of people, from membership communities to enterprise software used by the police, insurance companies and publicly traded businesses. Across client platforms we maintain 99.9% average uptime.

5+ year client relationships

Most clients stay with us long after launch. We keep improving, securing and scaling their platforms, which is why our average client relationship now runs past five years.

Laravel Premier Partner

Verified by Laravel, with direct access to the core team. We speak at Laracon EU, run the Laravel London meetup, wrote Laravel for the Rest of Us and are a Stripe Integration Partner.

From Craft CMS to Laravel: Shorefield Holidays

Shorefield's website had outgrown its Craft CMS build. Publishing was slow, marketing campaigns relied on developer time, and the booking journey wasn't keeping up with what customers expected.

We rebuilt the platform on Laravel and Statamic. Their editorial and marketing teams now publish and run campaigns themselves, far faster than before, and customers get a much smoother experience from browsing to booking. That is directly supporting Shorefield's commercial goals.

Ongoing Laravel Development

Most of our clients partner with us long-term on their Laravel Web Applications. We provide support with strategising, designing and developing new features designed to help grow their business.

We proactively monitor site speed, uptime, and error reporting, with the intention of resolving any issues before they are reported by a user.

Some of our clients helped by Laravel development

Who is Steadfast Collective?

Our founder, Pete Heslop, built our first project in 2015 using Laravel. Pete enjoyed the simple syntax and how quickly he could build a functioning web application in Laravel.

Since then we've built everything from small API integrations to enterprise software used by the police, insurance companies and call centres.

Tens of millions of people have used our secure Laravel web applications, so in 2023 we became official Laravel Partners. As one of a small number of UK agencies in the Laravel Partner programme, we've gone all in on Laravel as our technical stack. That streamlines our development and learning, and keeps costs down for our clients.

They have produced a space which tells the story of what we do in a straight-forward way, allows us the celebrate the impact of our work in the world’s poorest communities and means we can speak to both individual donors and potential business sponsors. Our small charity has been going for nearly ten years now, but with this new website and the potential, it brings it feels as though we are only just getting started!"
