Laravel Partners FAQ

Question 1

What is the Laravel Partner Program?

Accepted Answer

The Laravel Partner Program connects businesses with vetted development agencies that specialize in the Laravel framework. Partners go through a review process and maintain active standing in the Laravel ecosystem. The program serves as the official channel for finding qualified Laravel development help, whether you're planning a greenfield build, migrating from another framework, moving to Laravel Cloud, auditing an existing app's performance, or ramping up a development team quickly. Founded in 2017, the program has grown alongside the framework and today includes agencies around the world.

Question 2

What is the difference between Premier and Community partners?

Accepted Answer

The Laravel Partner Program has two tiers: Community and Premier. Both are researched and vetted by the Laravel team before agencies are invited to join, and both build production Laravel work for clients around the world. Community Partners are agencies that participate actively in the Laravel ecosystem and ship strong work on top of the framework. They're a great fit for many projects.

Premier Partners work more closely with the Laravel team, including direct collaboration with our sales team on Laravel Cloud engagements. They typically take on larger or more complex projects, like enterprise rollouts and significant Cloud deployments, where tight coordination with Laravel pays off. When something unusual comes up on a project, Premier Partners have a direct line back to the Laravel team for technical guidance.

Question 3

How do I choose the right Laravel Partner for my project?

Accepted Answer

Start with your project requirements: technology stack (Livewire, Inertia, Filament, etc.), industry experience, geographic preference, and engagement model (managed project vs. staff augmentation). The Laravel team curates the partner network across geography, agency size, industry expertise, and technology stack, so the directory reflects a range of options rather than a single profile. Use the directory filters to narrow by region and tier, or for a guided recommendation, use the Match with a Partner Form, and the Laravel team will connect you with agencies that fit your needs.

Question 4

What does a Laravel Partner cost?

Accepted Answer

Rates vary by partner, region, engagement model, and project complexity. Partners offer different structures, including hourly rates, monthly retainers, and fixed-bid projects. Project costs depend on scope and can range from focused consulting engagements to multi-year platform builds. Contact partners directly through their profile pages or use the Match with a Partner Form to get estimates aligned to your budget and requirements.

Question 5

Can a Laravel Partner help me migrate to Laravel Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most partners, especially at the Premier tier, have direct experience deploying and migrating applications on Laravel Cloud. Premier Partners work closely with the Laravel team on Cloud deployments and can assist with architecture planning, migration execution, and ongoing infrastructure management.

Question 6

How do Laravel Partners differ from freelance developers?

Accepted Answer

Laravel Partners are agencies, not individual freelancers. They provide teams with complementary skills (backend, frontend, DevOps, design, QA), established project management processes, and continuity if a team member is unavailable. Partners also go through a vetting process and maintain active standing in the Laravel ecosystem, which provides continuity and accountability that individual freelance arrangements rarely match. Many partners maintain open-source packages, speak at Laravel conferences, and participate in early access programs for new Laravel features, which means they often know what's coming before the broader community does.

Question 7

Why hire a Laravel Partner instead of a general development agency?

Accepted Answer

Many agencies can write Laravel code, but partners bring ecosystem-wide fluency across the framework, first-party packages, and products like Laravel Cloud and Nightwatch. They've worked on dozens of Laravel codebases across industries, so they spend less time ramping up and more time shipping. Partners also maintain relationships with the Laravel team, giving them access to technical guidance and early insight into upcoming features that general agencies don't have.

Question 8

What industries do Laravel Partners serve?

Accepted Answer

Partners in the program serve a wide range of industries, including healthcare, financial services, government, education, e-commerce, SaaS, media, and logistics. Several Premier partners hold industry-specific compliance experience, including HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR. Use the directory filters or the Match with a Partner Form to find agencies with experience in your sector.

Question 9

How do I become a Laravel Partner?

Accepted Answer

Apply through the Become a Laravel Partner Form. The review process evaluates your team's Laravel experience, project portfolio, and standing in the Laravel community.
