Service upgrade
Old PHP, an out-of-date CMS or an ageing framework, brought safely up to date without breaking what already works.
Out-of-date software stops getting security fixes, and hosting companies eventually stop supporting old PHP versions altogether. The longer it's left, the bigger, riskier and more expensive each upgrade becomes. Doing it in planned steps keeps it manageable.
Every upgrade is done on a copy of your site first. I test the things that matter to you, such as forms, payments, logins and imports, before anything goes live, and keep a full backup so we can roll back if we need to.
After a short review of your site, I'll give you a fixed quote for the upgrade, and tell you honestly if a migration or rebuild would be better value.
A look at what you're running, what's out of date and what depends on what.
The upgrade path, the risks and a fixed quote.
The work is done on a copy of your site, never on the live one.
I test the important journeys, then you check it too.
A planned switchover at a quiet time, with a backup ready.
Usually not. An upgrade changes what's under the bonnet; the design and content stay the same unless you want changes.
The work happens on a copy, so the switchover itself is normally quick. I'll plan it for a quiet time for your business.
It depends on the site. After the review I'll give you an honest view: sometimes an upgrade is the best value, and sometimes a rebuild or migration saves money in the long run.
Small updates as they come out, and a check at least once a year for bigger version changes.
