Dev Loader is a founder-led Laravel studio operated by Dev Loader, LLC, a US-registered company (est. 2021). We help founders and product teams rescue, upgrade, and finish Laravel SaaS applications — and build the React, Node, and mobile front ends around them when the product needs them.
What we do:
Laravel Application Rescue — Your previous developer disappeared, the codebase is undocumented, and deployment is fragile. We take over the repository, stabilize production, and deliver a written stabilization plan within the first sprint.
Laravel Upgrade Service — We upgrade legacy Laravel applications (5.x through 11.x) to Laravel 12/13 and PHP 8.3+, including dependency audits, test-suite repair, and zero-downtime migration plans.
Laravel SaaS Development — Narrow, well-scoped SaaS MVPs built on Laravel, Livewire, Filament, and Stripe billing. Audit $299 → rescue sprint $1,000 → feature build $2,500 → SaaS MVP from $6,000.
Filament & Livewire Development — Custom admin panels, dashboards, and reactive interfaces on the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine, Livewire, Laravel).
Performance Optimization — Query profiling, caching strategy, queue tuning, and Core Web Vitals improvements for Laravel applications under load.
How we work:
Fixed scope, fixed price — Every engagement starts with a written proposal. No surprise hourly invoices.
Direct founder-engineer delivery — You work with the senior engineer who builds your project. No account managers, no rotating contractor bench.
Full transparency — Repository access from day one, milestone-based delivery, and complete source code ownership at handoff. No hosting lock-in.
Who we work best with: Technical founders, small product teams, and agencies running Laravel applications — especially SaaS products that are 80% built and stalled, running outdated Laravel versions, or suffering from performance problems under growth.
We deliver remotely worldwide from our registered office in Washington, DC, with replies within one business day.
