Real Results in Action
Pet Circle, one of Australia’s fastest-growing eCommerce platforms, faced the challenge of scaling fast while keeping costs under control. Starting with just four staff, Pet Circle has now scaled to 60 employees across customer service, finance, IT, and marketing — saving over AUD $4.5M annually and cutting back-office costs by 71%.
“Our team in the Philippines is an extension of our Sydney team — and that wouldn’t be possible without the support from Satellite Office.”
— Glen Robinson, VP of Customer Experience, Pet Circle

Absolutely. Offshore PHP developers are ideal for Australian startups, marketing and creative agencies, and growing SMEs who want to scale their web development efforts affordably. You get high-quality work without the delays, costs or long-term commitments of local hiring.
Yes. Most clients start with one offshore developer and scale flexibly based on business needs, website upgrades or marketing campaigns. We offer scalable engagement models so you’re never paying for resources you don’t need.
Our recruitment and onboarding process typically takes 3-6 weeks. We handle everything from sourcing and vetting to hardware setup and orientation so your developer is ready to hit the ground running with minimal disruption to your operations.
Our offshore teams work in ISO-certified offices with enterprise-grade security protocols. You maintain full ownership of your code, IP and systems. Plus, we provide local account managers and operational support to monitor productivity and ensure your standards are met.
Not at all. You retain full visibility and control. Our offshore developers integrate with your systems, follow your documentation, and attend your daily stand-ups or weekly check-ins. We keep your projects transparent and on track.
By taking over routine web development, support tickets and content updates, your offshore team allows your in-house developers to focus on innovation, strategy or high-value projects. It’s a smart way to stay agile without burning out your local talent.
Cost and availability, mostly. Hiring in the Philippines can reduce cost per role by up to 70% compared with hiring locally in Australia, with one all-in cost covering recruitment, payroll, HR, IT and office space. The Philippines runs two to three hours behind Australian Eastern time, so your offshore team works essentially the same business day as your local staff, with full overlap for meetings, handovers and escalations. In practice that means an offshore PHP developer is online for your stand-ups and available when your team needs them, at a fraction of a Sydney or Brisbane salary.
Most commonly Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter and WordPress, including custom theme and plugin development. Satellite Office recruits against the specific framework and version your codebase uses rather than a generic PHP brief, so tell us the stack, and we shortlist to it.
