Legacy PHP modernization

Modernize legacy PHP without a rewrite.

PHP 5.6, 7.2, 7.4. Custom frameworks. WordPress that grew sideways. Laravel 5 that nobody wants to touch. We stabilize, document, and upgrade — in stages your business can absorb.

The risk you're sitting on

Old PHP doesn't fail loudly. It fails expensively.

Every month a system runs on unsupported PHP, the cost of moving it goes up — not down.

Unpatched runtime

PHP 7.x and earlier no longer receive security patches. Hosting providers will eventually force the move.

Frozen dependencies

Composer locks pinned years ago. Abandoned packages. Frameworks two majors behind. Each upgrade reveals the next blocker.

Brittle deploy

Manual SFTP, edits on production, no staging, no rollback. The runtime upgrade can't even be staged safely.

How we modernize

Audit, stabilize, then upgrade — in that order.

01

Audit

Map runtime, framework, packages, and deploy. Surface every blocker before quoting work.

/audit/ →
02

Stabilize

Backups tested. Staging built. Deploy path documented. The system gets safe to change before it changes.

/services/#sprint →
03

Upgrade

PHP, framework, and dependencies upgraded in stages. Reversible. Tested. No big-bang weekend.

Don't rewrite legacy PHP. Refit it.

Start with a fixed-price audit. Get a risk register and a 30 / 60 / 90-day plan. Decide what to do next from there.
