Legacy Migration

Modernize without downtime.

From PHP 5.x procedural code, ancient WP themes, or monolithic CodeIgniter — we run strangler-fig migrations to modern Laravel + TypeScript while users keep working.

// Strangler-fig route handoff

if ($legacyRoutes->handles($request)) {

return $legacy->forward($request);

}


return $modern->handle($request);


// Routes migrate one at a time.

// Users never notice the cutover.

Capabilities_

// 01

Strangler-Fig Migration

Route-by-route, feature-by-feature replacement. New stack runs alongside legacy until cutover. Zero big-bang rewrites.

// 02

PHP Version Upgrades

PHP 5.x → 8.3 with Rector-driven refactors, deprecation cleanup, type annotations, and full test coverage of touched code.

// 03

Database Modernization

Schema audit, index strategy, migration scripts, ORM introduction, normalization where it pays off.

// 04

Frontend Modernization

jQuery + spaghetti → typed Vue/React with progressive enhancement. Inertia for shared session state, no SPA pain.

// 05

API Extraction

Pull business logic out of controllers and templates into versioned APIs that mobile and partner integrations can consume.

// 06

SEO Preservation

Redirect maps, canonical preservation, sitemap continuity. We migrate without tanking your search rankings.
