For teams still running CodeIgniter 3

Move off CodeIgniter 3 and end-of-life PHP — without a rewrite

CodeIgniter 3 receives security-only updates and no compatibility work for PHP 8.2+. We migrate the application incrementally, old and new code running side by side, so nothing goes live until it's verified.

What’s included

Built for the problem, not a generic package

Incremental, not big-bang

Routes move one at a time to Laravel, verified against the old behaviour before the next one moves.

Fixed price, not hourly

Priced against a 48-hour audit of your actual codebase, so you know the number before anything starts.

Old app stays live as fallback

The legacy application keeps running until every route is verified — there is no single risky cutover night.


How it works

No sales call before we’ve seen the system

STEP 01

Send read-only repo access

A GitHub/GitLab invite or a zip export — whatever is fastest. We audit the actual code, not a description of it.

STEP 02

Get a fixed-price migration plan

Which routes move first, how long it takes, and the price — in writing, within 48 hours.

STEP 03

We migrate route by route

Verified in production against the old app before each cutover. You approve each stage.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you rewrite the whole application?

No. We move routes incrementally onto Laravel while the CodeIgniter app keeps running, so there is no full-rewrite risk or multi-month blackout.

What if we're on an even older PHP version?

That's common — CodeIgniter 3 apps are often still on PHP 7.4. The audit covers the PHP version and the framework together.

How long does a typical migration take?

Weeks, not months, for most mid-sized applications — because we're never rewriting the whole thing in one pass.

What do we get from the free audit?

A written report of what's actually running, what's at risk, and a fixed price to fix it — yours to keep even if you don't proceed.

Do you build new applications in Laravel too, not just migrate to it?

Yes — Laravel is both our default migration target and something we build greenfield, since it's the PHP framework with the strongest current hiring demand and ecosystem.
