Why it matters
Old versions of Laravel and PHP stop getting security fixes, and every year the upgrade gets harder. We plan the upgrade, add tests around what matters, update dependencies and move the application forward in safe steps.
Laravel upgrades and migrations, done safely.
We upgrade old Laravel and PHP applications to current versions and migrate systems from other platforms to Laravel, step by step and without losing data.
What does a Laravel upgrade involve?
Moving the framework, PHP and every package to supported versions, one major version at a time, with automated tests around critical features. Each Laravel release gets security fixes for two years, so older applications should be upgraded before that support ends.

FAQ
Laravel Upgrade & Migration questions.
Which versions can you upgrade from?
Any Laravel or PHP version. Very old applications are upgraded in steps, testing after each one.
Will the site go down during the upgrade?
We work on a copy and only switch over once everything is tested, so downtime is kept to a minimum.
Can you migrate our app from another framework?
Yes. We review the current system, plan the migration and move features and data across in stages.

A Deep Understanding of the Laravel Migration Services
Migrations are like version control for your database. They enable you to modify the database schema and stay up to date on the current schema state.
