What is PHP?

PHP powers WordPress, Drupal and a large share of the web. We use it to extend your site carefully, with code that survives an update.

PHP is the language your website runs on the server. Most small business sites need a small amount of custom PHP: a form handler, an integration with a CRM, a custom block, a scheduled job. The risk is not the language, it is where the code lives. Custom code dropped into a theme disappears at the next update.

How we use PHP

How Clearwell Digital uses PHP

Code that survives updates

We put custom logic in a child theme or a small plugin, never in a file the next theme update will overwrite.

Integrations

We connect your site to a CRM, a payment provider or an internal system without a heavyweight plugin for each connection.

Performance and security review

We profile slow pages, remove needless database queries, and check input handling on anything that accepts user data.

What you get with PHP

  • Custom code in a versioned location with a short readme
  • A supported PHP version, and a plan for the next one
  • Fewer plugins, because small custom pieces replace bloated general purpose ones
  • A record of what was changed, so the next developer is not guessing

Inherited a site nobody understands?

We can review what is running, document it, and give you a safe path to change it.
