CodeIgniter & PHP Development — New Projects & Legacy Upgrades

We build and maintain CodeIgniter applications — new CI4 projects, legacy CI2/CI3 upgrades, REST APIs, and migrations to Laravel. Practical PHP expertise without unnecessary complexity.

CodeIgniter & PHP Projects We Handle

From new CI4 builds to rescue missions on abandoned PHP codebases — we cover the full range.

New CodeIgniter 4 Projects

Modern CI4 applications using PHP 8.x — MVC architecture, proper namespacing, and ORM-based database layer.

Legacy CI2 / CI3 Upgrades

Upgrade from CodeIgniter 2 or 3 to CI4 — with full compatibility audit, refactoring, and testing.

REST API Development

Clean REST APIs on CodeIgniter — authentication, rate limiting, versioning, and documentation.

Admin Panels & Dashboards

Role-based admin interfaces, data tables, reporting, and business dashboards on CodeIgniter 4.

Database Optimization

Query audits, index design, caching layers, and CI query builder optimisation for slow legacy apps.

CodeIgniter to Laravel Migration

Structured migration from CI to Laravel — preserving business logic while modernising architecture.

Third-party Integrations

Payment gateways, SMS/email APIs, CRM connections, and OAuth integrations for CodeIgniter apps.

Bug Fixing & Maintenance

Take over unmaintained CodeIgniter projects — fix bugs, remove deprecated code, and document the system.

PHP Developers Who Understand Legacy Systems

Most agencies avoid legacy PHP projects. We take them on — because we know how to read undocumented code, identify what is safe to change, and deliver improvements without breaking what already works.

  • Codebase audit before any changes
  • Documented findings — no surprises mid-project
  • Backwards-compatible upgrades where possible
  • Test coverage added during legacy work
  • Clear migration path if Laravel is the right move
  • Handover documentation on every project

Frequently Asked Questions

If your codebase is in good shape and your team knows CI, upgrading to CI4 is faster and lower risk. If the codebase is a mess, the team has changed, or you need ecosystem features Laravel provides, migration makes more sense. We help you make this call honestly.
