    Chose Laravel PHP Framework

    Chose Laravel PHP Framework
    I inherited Laravel projects originally created by other developers. I haven't migrated clients at this time, however as the project gets bigger and I need to find more elaborate workarounds to address needs that option will be put on the table.
