Why does Modern McGuire build on Laravel?

Laravel is the core specialty. Standardizing on one mature PHP framework means the team is deep rather than broad — patterns, tooling, and testing practices carry from one project to the next instead of being relearned per engagement.

For clients it means the resulting codebase is conventional rather than bespoke. A Laravel application can be picked up by any competent Laravel developer, which matters more than it sounds: it keeps the client from being locked to a single agency by the shape of their own software.
