Outsource PHP work to India: Skilled PHP Programmers for Hire on Contract
Services > Hire Programmers On Contract Basis

PHP is an open-source project including an engine to simple programs called PHP scripts and a large library of pre-built scripts. It is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

PHP is a robust, server-side language that can offer a great deal of functionality, and it can serve pages quickly. Much of its development is in the hands of a company called Zend, which sells packaged PHP products, programming tools and support.

PHP has caught on widely. About 22 million Web sites employ it, and usage is steadily increasing. About 450 programmers have privileges to approve changes to the software. Major companies that employ PHP include Yahoo, Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom's T-Online.

Although it's designed for use on the Web, it can be used as a command line language as well. If you are writing a Web application that requires certain pieces of code to be executed every hour or once a day you can schedule PHP code to be executed whenever you like.

PHP allows you to provide localization to site visitors. When users hit the site, they're automatically provided with the page's default text in their native language, based upon their browser preference.

Other benefits of PHP are that it allows you to create PDF documents on the fly. You can leverage advanced mathematical capabilities, as well as object-oriented programming methodologies. You can read and write to local and IMAP mailboxes; use any standard Internet protocol from within PHP.

Want to write a PHP-based FTP, Web, or news client? No problem! You can create your own protocol with the client and server written entirely in PHP using standard TCP/IP sockets. You can implement cryptographic support, as well as support for various database servers.

The future of PHP programming looks very bright. Recent estimates from Zend place the number of active PHP developers at somewhere around 500,000. Also is now a serious contender as a general purpose language, rather than one focused on Web development, due its many revisions. And they might also open the door to new possibilities, such as building fast, pure PHP search engines. One thing that’s obvious is the PHP development team’s willingness to implement fundamental standards within the PHP engine itself.

The trend for web sites is now moving towards data-driven web sites with a solid bank of information to support them. PHP is increasingly used in conjunction with MySQL – a very popular, widely available, command-driven relational database query language – to create useful and powerful web applications, such as search engines and random fact generators.

I need a PHP programmer who is more than a programmer! What do I need to look out for while hiring such a programmer?
PHP by itself can hardly deliver the business oriented results you would desire. To get the best out of a online PHP programmer make sure,

• She has at least 2 years classic PHP experience
• She has 1-2 years PHP experience or schooling (at least some object oriented coding experience)
• If you’re looking for ecommerce development then make sure she has some experience in transactional website development process
• She has 1-2 years database driven website creation experience
• She is creative, open-minded and able to add her creativity to make the project better
• You see her portfolio of various asp projects programmed on the web

When you’re opting to hire dedicated PHP programmers from a development firm, there are certain things you need to keep in mind. A crucial aspect to look for is the quality standard that the company adopts for their processes and employees. Usually, development companies have their own coding standards defined by a governing body in their nation. But if you would want the team to follow the standards prescribed by you, it can work that way as well.

What is the difference in costs when I outsource PHP programmer(s) from India as compared to the US?
We have a lot of positions/departments involved in the application development. You could work with a single programmer on all facets, including project design, choosing the right database, testing and fixes. One programmer in the US is currently paid about $80,000/year.

How will working with Stylus Inc be cheaper?
While it’s true that a talented programmer in the US will be in the range mentioned, the actual cost to company for every employee is substantially more. In addition to the salary, every company needs to make other statutory payments for each employee. In addition, for each role, there will be other infrastructure costs such as hardware, software, utility and space costs that get added as overheads.

Thus for a programmer who earns an annual salary of $80,000 the total cost to the company is in excess of $100,000.

In the case of our team of online php programmers, you will not require all services on a continuous basis. In a typical project, the analysis, architecture and design takes up approximately 15% of the time in terms of effort and costs approximately 20% of the total cost, project management takes up approximately 20% of effort and 28% of cost, and development and testing takes the remaining 65% effort and 52% of the cost.

On the whole, a 12 man month project that would take approximately a year for your programmer in the US (costing you about $100,000) can be completed in about 6 months by a team in India, and at an approximate total cost of $40,000.

At Stylus you can choose to hire PHP programmers individually or hire a virtual team depending on your requirements. Contact Us to work out the specific details of this arrangement.
