You might have heard ofLaravelin the world of website development. But what does it actually do?
If you’re not a developer, “Laravel” probably isn’t a word that means much to you.
Put simply, Laravel is a framework developers use to build websites and web applications. Think of it as a toolkit that gives developers a solid foundation to build from, helping them create websites that are more flexible, functional and easier to manage.
Our developers use Laravel to build and develop websites with all sorts of functionality behind the scenes- from the things you can see and interact with, to the code that makes everything work.
And one of the things that makes Laravel particularly useful is its packages. These are ready-made pieces of functionality that developers can add to a project, rather than building everything from scratch.
For example, Laravel packages can help developers:
- Create admin dashboards without hours of manual work
- Import and export Excel files
- Test new website features with selected users before rolling them out to everyone
- Add AI functionality to an application
- Keep bots and spam submissions out of your forms
So while you might not ever need to know how Laravel works under the bonnet, understanding what it can help your website do is pretty useful.
