Is Laravel right for you?
Is Laravel the right choice for you?
It's a great fit if…
- If you develop PHP applications and want a framework with ORM, authentication and a template system included.
- If your team already knows or wants to learn the most in-demand PHP framework.
- If you need a wide package ecosystem to extend the application without reinventing the wheel.
It might not be for you if…
- If you need the lightest PHP framework by disk footprint, where CodeIgniter or Symfony are smaller.
- If you prefer a component-based, event-driven framework, where Symfony offers that approach.
