PHP upgrade and migration services in the UK
Senior engineers on your morning and lunchtime hours, UK GDPR built in, and a fixed price before we start.
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.
UK businesses most often hire us for AI automation for service businesses, logistics software and fast MVPs for startups.

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.
Remote, but close to UK
Time-zone overlap
UK and Indian working days overlap by around four to five hours every day, so your team is online for stand-ups, calls and quick decisions during your morning and early afternoon.
UK GDPR
We design products to UK GDPR principles: data minimisation, clear consent, access controls, encryption and data stored in the UK or EU when you need it. We sign NDAs and data processing agreements before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in British pounds (GBP) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Industries we work with in UK
Financial services and fintech
London banks and challengers need secure, FCA-compliant digital products. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.

High online shopping adoption makes store performance decisive. From internal tools to customer platforms, built and supported by one team.

Data hosting
AWS Europe (London), Google Cloud europe-west2 (London) and Azure UK South, 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.
