What are you developing? Why are you developing it in PHP?

(From the advertisement I infer that it is) because they are using wordpress as the base. This is something I've done in the past and PHP skills were required when moving to significant levels of customisation---particularly when adding 'interactive' features.

Developing a site from scratch in PHP would seem to be rather less practical.

Wild-ass guess: Since WordPress is written in PHP, customizations on it are written in PHP.

While PHP is pretty seriously undesirable for new projects, one heck of a lot of programming is not on new projects.
