# Laravel Developer in Nepal — SaaS platforms, REST APIs and internal tools built to last.

I'm Umesh Ghimire, a senior Laravel developer in Kathmandu, Nepal. Twelve-plus years of PHP, four-plus years specifically building Laravel SaaS, REST APIs and multi-tenant applications for clients worldwide.

## Laravel vs WordPress — when to pick Laravel

Both are PHP. The real question is shape: WordPress is a content tool you extend; Laravel is a framework you assemble into an application. The further your project is from "documents and pages" and the closer to "users doing work in a custom UI", the more Laravel earns its keep.

Pick Laravel when you have a bespoke data model with non-trivial business rules, a real REST or GraphQL API as a first-class deliverable, multi-tenant or workspace logic, billing and subscriptions, or a team that will grow and benefit from explicit conventions. See the in-depth [WordPress vs Laravel guide](/blog/wordpress-vs-laravel/).

## Laravel services I offer

- **SaaS platforms** — multi-tenant, subscription billing, role-based access, workspace isolation. Built to scale.
- **REST & GraphQL APIs** — first-class APIs with versioning, rate limiting, OpenAPI specs and SDK generation.
- **Internal dashboards & admin tools** — Filament or custom-built. Operational tools your team actually wants to use.
- **Customer portals** — branded, white-labellable customer-facing portals with billing, support and self-service.
- **AWS deployment & CI/CD** — Dockerised deploys, GitHub Actions pipelines, AWS infrastructure as code.
- **Code rescue & modernisation** — taking over an inherited Laravel codebase, stabilising it, bringing it up to current best practices.

## My Laravel stack

- Laravel (latest LTS)
- PHP 8.x with strict types
- MySQL or PostgreSQL with proper migrations and seeders
- Redis for cache, queue and session
- Docker for development parity with production
- GitHub Actions for CI (PHPUnit, static analysis, deploy)
- AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, SES) — or your existing cloud
- Pest or PHPUnit, with a test pyramid that runs in seconds

## FAQ

**How much does a Laravel SaaS cost to build in Nepal?** An MVP-grade Laravel SaaS typically runs USD 8,000 to USD 35,000 depending on entity count, integrations and the auth/billing model.

**How long does Laravel development take?** MVPs ship in 6–12 weeks. Full multi-tenant SaaS with billing, admin and customer portals takes 3–6 months.

**Do you support Laravel apps after launch?** Yes — monthly retainers cover security patches, dependency upgrades, performance tuning and small feature work. Retainers start at USD 1,500/month.

**Laravel vs CodeIgniter — which should I choose?** For new projects, Laravel almost always wins on developer experience, ecosystem and modern PHP conventions.
