CakePHP expertise that is hard to find
Hire a CakePHP developer from Ecomsolver when you need someone who can work inside an existing CakePHP application without a long learning curve. CakePHP developers are harder to find than they used to be, yet many companies still run CRMs, portals and back-office tools built on it. Our developers understand its conventions, ORM and plugin system.
Your developer can stabilize the app, handle your backlog, upgrade from an older CakePHP version to the current major release, move to a supported PHP release, or plan a gradual migration to Laravel. They work in your repositories and tools, keep you informed in English, and document the system as they go.
What your CakePHP developer can do
Maintenance and bug fixing
Take over support for your CakePHP app, fix bugs, handle small features and keep the system running reliably for the teams who depend on it.
Major version upgrades
Upgrade older CakePHP applications to the current major version, updating the ORM usage, routing, plugins and templates in safe, tested stages.
PHP upgrades and security
Move the app to a supported PHP version, patch known vulnerabilities, strengthen authentication and review input handling across forms and APIs.
New features and modules
Add new modules, reports, user roles and workflows following CakePHP conventions, so the codebase stays consistent and easy to maintain.
APIs and integrations
Expose REST APIs from your CakePHP app and connect it to payment, CRM, email and accounting services, with logging for failed calls.
Migration planning
Assess whether to keep upgrading CakePHP or move to Laravel, and if you migrate, run it module by module while the current app stays live.

Hiring CakePHP developers: FAQs
Ask us on WhatsApp. A real person replies, usually within minutes during working hours.
Ask on WhatsAppWhy is it hard to hire a CakePHP developer?
Fewer new projects start on CakePHP today, so fewer developers learn it. Many existing apps still run on it, though. When you hire a CakePHP developer from us, we match you with someone who has worked with its conventions and ORM, so they can be productive quickly.
Can your developer upgrade a very old CakePHP app?
Yes. Upgrading from the oldest CakePHP versions is a large change because the ORM and structure changed significantly. The developer plans the upgrade in stages, adds tests around key workflows and keeps your current app running until the upgraded version is approved.
Should we keep CakePHP or migrate to Laravel?
If your app is stable and your team knows CakePHP, upgrading is often the simpler path. If you need a larger hiring pool, more packages or major new features, Laravel may be a better long-term choice. Your developer can give you a written comparison for your specific app.
How do I hire a CakePHP developer from Ecomsolver?
Book a free consultation and share your CakePHP version, app details and goals. We send matched developer profiles for you to interview. Once you approve a developer and the NDA is signed, they start onboarding into your repositories and tools.
How will the developer report progress?
Your developer updates tickets in your Jira or similar tool, shares pull requests for review and posts updates in your Slack or Teams in English. You can also ask for weekly demos so you see completed work rather than just status notes.
