Hello! We're echolibre, we help startups.

We build large-scale web based systems and supply high-end PHP & Python software development services. We help startup web companies with systems architecture, API development, scaling & performance issues and web application security.

We've worked really hard on...

FRAPI is a framework that lets you create a RESTful API for your web apps, mobile apps or legacy systems. It plugs straight into the database layer, and does not impact on your application layer.
See how to build an API in 5 minutes on getFRAPI.com.

And we worked just as hard with these guys, they're just starting out...
People have said some *really* nice things about us!
“When I think PHP Influential, I think of the folks at echolibre”
- Martha Rotter, Developer & Platform Group, Microsoft Ireland
“echolibre helped us to bring VidSchool from concept stage through to launch smoothly and within a very aggressive timeframe. Not only did they show phenomenal expertise in developing the app itself, but they also provided us with insight into aspects of the app and it's requirements that we hadn't considered prior to developing the brief.

We would whole-heartedly recommend echolibre to any aspiring or established entrepreneurs looking for the most talented, driven and focussed development team we've worked with. If you're looking for an outsourced development team who will care about your app, nearly as much as you, look no further than echolibre”
- Sean Fee, CEO, VidSchool
We ♥ Open Source, so we helped out with these projects...
We're a good looking bunch of chaps, no?
