Database-backed features
Turn structured information into searchable records and practical admin screens. Decide which fields are needed and who may view or change them before development.
- Search and filtering
- Record management
- Roles and permissions
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Custom PHP development and website integrations.
Custom PHP, MySQL and API development for features a standard content website cannot handle. Vertygo can help connect records, customer actions and business processes in one web application.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
Define the task before choosing the technology.
Useful development starts with a concrete requirement: who needs to do what, which information they need and what should happen next. I assess the existing website and dependencies before recommending an extension or rebuild.
Integrations with a purpose
An integration depends on the provider offering a suitable API and the required access. Payments, email services and webhooks can connect steps that would otherwise need manual checking.
- API access and dependencies
- Webhook processing
- Error and status handling
Reduce repeated administration
Map a repeated task, such as an enquiry moving through quotation and approval. Automation should preserve useful checks rather than silently making business decisions.
- Status workflows
- Notifications
- Linked records
Changes you can maintain
Existing data, form validation and deployment need attention alongside the visible feature. Vertygo’s development approach includes prepared statements, input validation and backup-first changes.
- Controlled development stages
- Validation and access checks
- Release and rollback planning
WHO IT IS FOR
When the requirement is a function, not another page.
This service suits a defined feature or integration. If you need to plan a whole portal or internal workflow, the custom systems page explains that broader scope.
HOW IT WORKS
Find the smallest useful release.
A focused first version makes it easier to test the real workflow and control cost.
Map
Identify users, inputs, permissions and expected results.
Assess
Review the code, hosting and third-party requirements.
Develop
Build the agreed feature and test normal and failure paths.
Release
Back up, deploy and check the live workflow.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Useful things to know before starting.
Can you add a feature to my existing website?
Often, but the platform, code quality and hosting need checking first. Share the URL and describe the feature. I will assess whether extending the current site or rebuilding the affected part is the sensible route.
Can you connect any third-party service?
Only where a supported integration method and suitable access are available. Provider fees, account requirements and API limits need to be considered before the work is agreed.
What affects the development price?
The number of user roles, data relationships, integrations, validation rules and workflows. A clear example of the task is more useful for scoping than a long list of loosely defined features.
How do you test custom functionality?
Testing is planned around the agreed workflow, including valid inputs, rejected inputs, permissions and failure handling. Critical actions such as payments need provider test environments and live deployment checks.
