Security patching
Outdated PHP and abandoned plugins are the most common way old sites get compromised. We close the known holes first, before anything else.
Salvage operations
A previous developer vanished. The site runs on a PHP version that stopped getting security updates years ago. Nobody on staff can explain the custom CodeIgniter app that quietly runs your billing. We stabilize it first, then modernize on a schedule that doesn't blow up your operations.
Legacy PHP isn't automatically bad code — it's often just unmaintained code. We triage, patch what's dangerous, and give you a clear read on what's salvageable versus what needs a rebuild.

Moving from an end-of-life PHP version (5.x, 7.0-7.3) to a supported release, handling the deprecated syntax and breaking changes along the way.
Broken forms, silent errors, a checkout that fails intermittently — we track down root causes in code we didn't write, without guessing.
Once the codebase is patched and predictable, you can add features, plan a migration, or just stop worrying — your call, on your timeline.
Assessment first We read the code, check the PHP version, dependencies, and error logs, and tell you honestly what state it's in — no scare tactics.
Fix what's dangerous Security patches and critical bugs get triaged and handled first, even before a full modernization plan is set.
Modernize in stages PHP version upgrades and refactors happen in controlled steps with testing between each — not one risky big-bang rewrite.
Hand you the map You get documentation of what changed and why, so the next person who touches this code — including future us — isn't starting blind.
No judgment about how it got this way. Tell us what's breaking or what version it's stuck on, and we'll come back with a fixed-price plan to stabilize it.
