Laravel

Laravel takes care of the boring parts of building a web app so you can focus on the features. Logins, password resets, database queries, email and file uploads all have ready-made tools. The documentation is some of the best around.

What you can do with it

• Build dashboards, booking systems, customer portals and APIs
• Handle user accounts and permissions without starting from scratch
• Talk to your database with clean, readable code
• Use free packages from a huge community

Good to know

You'll need Composer and ideally SSH access. It can run on shared hosting, but a cheap VPS makes life easier.
