Keep your CodeIgniter app running while you modernize
Hire a CodeIgniter developer from Ecomsolver if your business runs on a CodeIgniter application that the original team no longer supports. Many of these apps still handle orders, bookings or customer data every day, but run on old PHP and framework versions with known security issues. Our developers keep them stable first, then help you modernize at a pace that suits you.
Your developer can take over bug fixes and small features, upgrade the PHP version, move the app from an older CodeIgniter version to the current release, or plan a phased migration to Laravel. They document what they learn about your codebase, so your business is no longer dependent on one person knowing how it works.
What your CodeIgniter developer can do
Ongoing support and bug fixes
Take over day-to-day support of your CodeIgniter app, fix bugs, handle small feature requests and respond to production issues during your working hours.
Framework upgrades
Upgrade older CodeIgniter applications to the current release, rewriting controllers, models and routes to the new structure step by step.
PHP version upgrades
Move your app to a supported PHP version, fix deprecated functions and outdated libraries, and test every key workflow before release.
Security hardening
Fix SQL injection, XSS and CSRF risks, update authentication and password hashing, and add logging so suspicious activity is visible.
Migration to Laravel
Plan and run a phased move from CodeIgniter to Laravel when your app needs queues, testing or a larger ecosystem, keeping the old app live during transition.
APIs and integrations
Add REST APIs to an existing CodeIgniter app for mobile apps or partners, and connect it to payment, CRM or accounting systems.

Why hire a CodeIgniter developer from Ecomsolver
Comfortable with legacy code
Our developers are used to reading undocumented code, finding where business rules live and making changes without breaking other parts of the app.

Clear upgrade path
You get a written assessment of risks, upgrade options and effort, so you can decide between upgrading CodeIgniter and migrating to Laravel.
NDA, ownership, replacement
We sign an NDA before code access, you own all code and documentation, and we replace the developer with a handover if needed.

Hiring CodeIgniter developers: FAQs
Ask us on WhatsApp. A real person replies, usually within minutes during working hours.
Ask on WhatsAppIs it still worth hiring a CodeIgniter developer?
Yes, if your business depends on a working CodeIgniter app. Rewriting from scratch is costly and risky. Hiring a CodeIgniter developer lets you keep the app secure and stable now, then upgrade or migrate in planned stages while revenue keeps flowing.
Should we upgrade to the latest CodeIgniter or migrate to Laravel?
It depends on the size of the app and your roadmap. Upgrading CodeIgniter is often faster for smaller apps. Laravel suits apps that need queues, testing tools, APIs and a larger developer pool. Your developer can review the code and give you a written recommendation.
Can your developer work on an app with no documentation?
Yes. Most CodeIgniter apps we take over have little documentation. The developer sets up a local environment, maps the main modules and database tables, and writes notes as they go, so your team gains documentation as a side benefit.
How do I hire a CodeIgniter developer from Ecomsolver?
Book a free consultation and tell us about your app, its PHP and CodeIgniter versions and your goals. We share matched developer profiles for you to interview. The approved developer starts after the NDA is signed, full-time, part-time or hourly.
Will the developer be available when our app has a production issue?
Yes. We agree an overlap window with your business hours, and the developer is reachable through your Slack, Teams or email during that time. For critical systems, we can also agree an escalation process before the developer starts.
