When people think about software development, they often focus on the technology stack. At Custom PHP Design, we believe technology is only part of the equation. The real goal is solving business problems with software that is reliable, scalable, and built to last.
Using Laravel, PHP, AWS, DevOps, and AI-assisted development, we've built applications that help creators, authors, businesses, and researchers work more efficiently. Here are a few of the projects we've been working on.
VidSyndicate
One of our newest projects is VidSyndicate, a social media publishing platform built for creators, businesses, and marketing teams.
Instead of manually uploading the same video or post to multiple social networks, users can prepare content once, customize it for each platform, and publish everywhere from a single dashboard.
Current areas of development include:
- AI-assisted content generation
- Cross-platform scheduling
- Video publishing workflows
- Social media automation
- Creator productivity tools
Our goal is simple: help creators spend more time creating and less time copying and pasting content.
CoverStudioAI
Creating professional book covers shouldn't require expensive desktop software or years of graphic design experience.
That's why we built CoverStudioAI, a browser-based design platform focused on Amazon KDP authors.
The platform allows authors to create paperback, hardcover, and Kindle covers that meet Amazon's publishing specifications. AI-assisted design tools help speed up the creative process while giving users complete control over the final design.
Whether you're publishing your first book or your hundredth, CoverStudioAI aims to make professional cover design accessible to everyone.
Historical Text Archive

Not every project we build is a SaaS platform.
The Historical Text Archive is one of our longest-running projects and preserves thousands of historical articles, photographs, and primary source documents from around the world.
We've modernized the platform with Laravel, improved search capabilities, implemented structured SEO data, enhanced performance, and continue expanding the archive so historical research remains freely available to students, educators, and history enthusiasts.
Technology can preserve knowledge just as effectively as it creates new experiences.
Vibe Coding as the Modern Developer

As AI continues to transform software development, we've documented many of the workflows and techniques we've adopted in Vibe Coding as the Modern Developer.
Rather than focusing only on prompts, the book explores how experienced developers can combine AI with Laravel, Git, CI/CD, AWS, DevOps, testing, and sound software architecture to build production-ready applications. AI is a powerful development partner, but engineering experience is still what turns ideas into reliable software.
