Hire Laravel Developers

green laravel developers - Custom Laravel Development Services

Many startups and established companies in the world use Laravel for their web applications.

It is a great PHP framework and whatever ideas or tasks you might have skilled Lara developers at Echo with years of experience can deliver your projects with great passion and meeting high standards. 

The right Laravel development company for your project

Laravel ecosystem is among the top-rated web development platforms since 2015, as the Sitepoint survey says us.

It is a reason why PHP development agencies and individual contractors that use this awesome framework are growing in number constantly. With this, the demand for Laravel experts is also increasing.

But how to get a real pro as the market is overflowing both with demands and offers?

Some lucky ones can find a decent Laravel coder right next door to their office somewhere in New York or Chicago. Yet, for someone, it is quite real to hire developers or outsourcing company’s team for remote work from distant locations like Bangalore or a bit closer – in Kyiv or São Paulo. The location of the company you intend to hire is only the tip of the iceberg as professional skills and types of services the company provides play a great role too.

To make your choice the best bet, you should thoroughly consider what type of services you expect to get. Whether you are interested in boutique agencies that offer turnkey services or you just need a single freelancer from one of the platforms listed below who will fix some problems with your Laravel project?

  • fiverr Fiverr. Top 16 Freelance Lara development experts for Hire.

Besides these options, there are also staffing and classic IT outsourcing companies that can meet all your expectations.

So how to choose among them? Just start with the real problem you need to solve with the help of the Laravel dev team. It is not a productive solution to hire a full-time programmer for a long-term contract when you need just to solve a few issues with your Laravel website. As well as hiring a freelancer is not a deal for the ongoing development of Laravel-based web applications. For medium to large projects, hiring an outsourcing development team might be the best solution. When you need regular maintenance of your product, it is better to hire a regular in-house or remote employee to work for you.

In case you are ready to get Laravel development services from a remote company, just take a look at programmers from Ukraine and Latin America. To sign a contract with a reliable partner, you can choose one of the following paths:

  • Ask for your friends’ recommendations.
  • Place an ad on the B2B matchmaking services like Aciety, YouTeam, Supersourcing, etc.
  • Search Google for an outsourcing company.

Whatever the way you choose to get in contact with your future partners or employees, references from them is a must.

We are always happy to share detailed references with new potential customers. That makes Echo a reputable IT staffing and team augmentation company worth your attention.

Current demand for Laravel programmers in the developed countries

According to Github stars research, Laravel is in 4th place among web development frameworks. As Linkedin claims, today the number of job offers to Laravel programmers in the US reaches 9,000+ (as of March 2024).

All these offers couldn’t be fulfilled by locals only. That’s why hiring remote professionals from other countries around the globe can be a real salvation for businesses. Hiring programmers from Ukraine or Brazil is both easy and profitable as these developers usually claim lower salaries than local US engineers.

The average PHP developer salary in the world

Considering various surveys, we’ve collected the average salaries of Laravel engineers around the world.

Comparing annual salaries in various countries, the United States is predictably on the top with its average salaries over $100,000 per year before taxes. California is still number one, but we won’t be surprised if Texas can become the next Silicon Valley in the states.

The UK and Australia are keeping 2nd and 3rd places as their salaries offered to Laravel developers are around $70,000 on average. Northern and Western European companies offer approximately $50,000 (42K euros) to their local middle-level software engineers. Eastern Europe and Ukraine, in particular, share very similar median rates to Latin America which are $25-35K per year. Indian specialists expect around $13,000 (1 million rupees) per year.

While India seems to be the most cost-effective option, the cheapest solutions are not always the best. The truth is that you should be ready to pay for quality, regardless of the country your PHP developer comes from.

How much does it cost to hire full-time PHP (Laravel) developers in Ukraine?

The most obvious answer is to get the real numbers from the local IT platforms or job boards like DOU. It can be $2,000, $3,500 or $5,000, which indicates the monthly salary of the web developer in USD:

  • Full-stack developer (Laravel + Vue.js) at Fatoom | $3000-5000.
  • PHP Backend Web Developer at Riga SIA | $2600–4900.
  • Junior-to-Middle PHP Laravel developer at grc.ua | $1000–2500.
  • Middle/Senior Laravel Developer at Spintech Software | $3500–5000.
  • Back-end Developer (Laravel) at VYMEX | $2000–3700.

But, there’s always a but, as you know.

The biggest mistake CTOs, product managers and startup founders make when hiring remotely and comparing developers is they ignore the embedded costs. In fact, there are numerous and substantial overhead costs (up to 50%) on top of the salaries mentioned above. For example:

  • Recruiting and HR management.
  • Paid vacations, public holidays and sick leaves.
  • Payroll, taxes and legal support.
  • Workplace setup, hardware and software.
  • Professional education reimbursement.

And if you choose a hard way to hire programmers directly on your own, you need to take care of these tasks.

As an alternative, you can work with a tech partner such as Echo and focus on your core business goals instead. Going this route will save you a considerable amount of time and energy.
