Upgrade CodeIgniter, CakePHP & Yii Apps to Laravel

Your old PHP application still runs the business, but it is getting harder to secure, hire for and change. We move it to modern Laravel step by step, keep your data safe and your users online, and hand you a codebase any PHP developer can work on.

What we do

Is This You?

Most of the apps we upgrade were built five to fifteen years ago and are still earning money.

Built on CodeIgniter 2 or 3

Unsupported versions, old PHP and libraries that no longer get security fixes.

Compare

Phased Migration or Full Rewrite?

Both end on Laravel. Which one fits depends on how big the app is and how much you can pause.

	Phased migration	Full rewrite
How it works	Move one module at a time while the old app keeps running	Rebuild the whole app on Laravel, then switch over
Risk	Lower: each step is small and can be rolled back	Higher: one large switch-over
Users	Keep working throughout	Move on launch day
Best for	Large apps that cannot stop	Smaller apps or ones being redesigned anyway
Spend	Spread over the project	Mostly up front

How We Keep It Safe

No data lost — migrations are rehearsed on a copy and the numbers are checked before go-live.
Little or no downtime — switch-overs are planned for your quietest hours.
Same URLs — old links keep working, so your Google rankings are protected.
Rollback plan — every step can be undone if something unexpected happens.
Your code, your IP — you own the new codebase, under NDA if you need one.
Documented — you get notes a new developer can pick up from.

Some apps cannot change this year. We can keep them secure and running until they can.

Laravel Upgrade FAQs

It depends on the size of the app, the number of modules and how clean the data is. We review your code first and then give you a fixed price and timeline, so you know the full cost before work starts.
