Working with CRUD is not that difficult. You can easily create crud in php and mysql by using any of the three methods, that are: single query, multi queries, and prepared statement.

One thing is missing from the article. There are lots of benefits of unit testing apart from the obvious ones, espcially if you are using some tool, like PHPunit for PHP unit testing.

Testing can be automated for speed. Higher probability of bug free code Easy to understand inherited code Refactor code to the point of testability and understandability Figure out what went wrong quickly with test cases New features can be coded easily It also minimizes the cost of change in software.

Contact form 7 is good plugin for wordpress to create contact form, but you can also create your own custom contact form in PHP, which will give you more freedom and flexibility. Creating php contact form is easy. You can also add some jQuery and Ajax to make the ux even better.

For Laravel, I would recommend using DigitalOcean. Digitalocean is great because you get more flexibility.
