PHP upgrade and migration services in Kuwait
A long-term partner working almost your exact hours, with Arabic and English built in from the first screen.
Clarigo Infotech upgrades and migrates legacy PHP applications: PHP 5 and 7 to PHP 8, hand-written PHP to Laravel or Symfony, old CMS and framework versions to supported ones, or a full move to Node.js or another stack when that is the better long-term choice. We add tests first, then upgrade step by step, so the site or app keeps working throughout.
Kuwaiti companies most often hire us for Arabic-ready apps, AI customer service and enterprise portals.

Businesses across the Gulf value a partner they can rely on for years, available in their working hours and comfortable with Arabic, local data rules and national transformation goals.

Hosting in the region and design that follows national personal data protection laws.
A partner for the long term
One in-house team that stays with you after launch, aligned with digital transformation programmes such as Saudi Vision 2030.
What our PHP migration covers
PHP version upgrades
PHP 5.x and 7.x to PHP 8, fixing deprecated functions, extensions and incompatible libraries.
Framework upgrades
Old Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and Zend versions brought up to supported releases.
Legacy PHP to Laravel
Unstructured PHP code reorganised into a clean, tested Laravel or Symfony application.
PHP to Node.js or other stacks
A planned migration to Node.js, Python or another stack when it fits your team and roadmap.
Database and hosting
MySQL upgrades, query fixes, and a move from shared hosting to containers or the cloud.
Security and performance
Security patches, dependency updates, caching and profiling so the app is safe and fast.
How we approach PHP migration
Why PHP upgrades can't wait
Older PHP versions no longer receive security updates, and many hosts and libraries are dropping support. An upgrade closes known vulnerabilities and usually makes the application noticeably faster.
Tests before changes
Legacy PHP rarely has tests. We add them around the most important flows first, so we can prove the upgraded version behaves exactly like the old one.
Built for Kuwaiti teams
Time-zone overlap
Kuwait is two and a half hours behind India, so our team works almost exactly your hours, with same-day calls and replies.
Kuwait's Data Privacy Protection Regulation (CITRA)
We design to CITRA's data privacy rules: consent, transparency, security controls and data hosted in the region when required. We support Arabic interfaces and sign NDAs before work starts.

Invoices in Kuwaiti dinars (KWD) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

What we set up for Kuwait
Local payments
Languages
Data hosting
Nearest: AWS Middle East (Bahrain) or Google Cloud me-central2 (Dammam), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
1. Free assessment
We review your code, dependencies, infrastructure and data, then give you a written migration plan, risks and a fixed quote.
2. Plan and safety net
We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.
3. Migrate in small steps
Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.
4. Cut over and support
A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
