AI & WEB SOLUTIONS • CUSTOM PHP + CODEIGNITER
When the template
runs out, we build.
We build custom web applications and e-commerce in PHP on the CodeIgniter framework — for businesses whose catalogue, pricing or workflow doesn't fit Shopify or WordPress. You get software shaped around how you work, and a codebase you own outright.
SPEC SHEET • WHAT THIS SERVICE DOES
- Built around your workflow
- PHP 8 on CodeIgniter (MIT)

Bent your business
to fit a plugin?
Multi-currency wholesale pricing, technical product data, custom calculators, member portals — when a platform needs five plugins and a workaround to do it, it's cheaper over time to build it properly once.

Off-the-shelf fits most.
Not all.
Nature In Bottle sells essential oils in bulk to formulators who need botanical names and CAS and INCI numbers before they need a photo, buy from 50 ml to 5 kg, and pay in 14 currencies. No store template did that without fighting it.
So we built it in PHP on CodeIgniter: lab-grade product data on every page, tiered pack pricing, multi-currency checkout and a blending tool where customers build their own formulation. One codebase, no plugin roulette, owned by the business.

When should I choose a custom PHP build over Shopify or WordPress?
When your catalogue, pricing or workflow needs several plugins and workarounds to fit a platform — wholesale tiers, technical product data, configurators, member portals. A custom build costs more up front but nothing in platform fees, and it does exactly what you need.
What is CodeIgniter?
CodeIgniter is a lightweight, open-source PHP framework, licensed under MIT. It gives a custom application a proven structure, built-in security helpers and fast performance without the weight of larger frameworks — so we spend your budget on your features, not on plumbing.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You receive the full codebase and documentation at handover. CodeIgniter is MIT-licensed, so there are no licence fees and no vendor that can lock you in.
Can you take over an existing PHP or CodeIgniter project?
Yes. We start with a code and security review, fix what's urgent, upgrade PHP and the framework where needed, and document the system before adding features.
Can a custom PHP site still rank well on Google?
Yes — rankings come from structure, speed and content, not the platform. We build clean URLs, metadata, schema, sitemaps and fast pages into custom builds from the start.
How much does a custom PHP build cost?
It depends on scope — a focused tool and a full custom store are very different builds. We quote from a written specification, so the scope is fixed before work begins. Share your brief and we'll prepare a scope-based proposal within one working day.
