Keep your CodeIgniter app safe while you plan what comes next
- App stuck on an unsupported PHP version
- Original developer no longer available
- Security scan flagged vulnerabilities
- Hosting provider forcing an upgrade
- Need a mobile API on an old system
- Planning a move to Laravel
Ecomsolver provides CodeIgniter development services for companies that built their core system on CodeIgniter years ago and now need it supported, secured and modernized. Many of these apps still run on an old framework release and an unsupported PHP version, which blocks hosting upgrades and leaves known vulnerabilities open.
We start with an audit of your code, database and server, then give you a written plan with three options: patch and maintain, upgrade to the current CodeIgniter release, or migrate module by module to Laravel. Each option comes with a fixed quote, so you can compare risk and cost before committing.
While the plan runs, we keep shipping the bug fixes and features your team needs. You get direct access to the developers, weekly progress demos and full ownership of the updated code.
We fix it, fine-tune it, then add AI and automation.
Most clients come to us with something already running: a store that is slow, an app that crashes, code nobody wants to touch. We stabilise it first, then add the AI features that save time and earn money.
Fix

- Security patches and outdated versions
- Code nobody can maintain

Make it fast, stable and easy to change, without a risky rewrite.
- Speed, caching and database tuning
- Tests, CI/CD and monitoring
- UX fixes where users get stuck
Add AI & automation
Practical AI built into the CodeIgniter / CakePHP product you already have.
- AI search and assistants over your own data
- Content, document and support automation
- AI agents that work with your tools
CodeIgniter services
Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a written, fixed quote.
CodeIgniter version upgrades
Move from older CodeIgniter releases to the current one, rewriting controllers, models and libraries for the new namespaced structure while keeping URLs and data intact.
PHP and server compatibility fixes
Update code that breaks on supported PHP versions, replace removed functions and old MySQL drivers, and get your app ready for a modern hosting environment.
Security audit and patching
Find and fix SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, weak password hashing and exposed config files, then add dependency checks so new issues are caught early.
Ongoing support and maintenance
A monthly retainer for bug fixes, small changes, backups, uptime monitoring and server updates, handled by developers who know your codebase.
Migration to Laravel
A staged migration that moves modules to Laravel one at a time, sharing the same database where possible, so users never face a risky big-bang switch.
New features and integrations
Add payment gateways, REST APIs for mobile apps, reporting dashboards or AI features to your current CodeIgniter system without destabilizing what already works.

Why work with us on CodeIgniter
No forced rewrite
We recommend a rebuild only when the numbers support it. Often a targeted upgrade and cleanup buys years of safe use at a fraction of the cost.
Lower security risk
Patching known vulnerabilities and moving to supported PHP removes the most common ways old CodeIgniter apps get compromised.
Business keeps running
Changes are tested on staging with a copy of your data and released in small steps, with a rollback plan for every deployment.
Knowledge captured
We document the architecture, business rules and deployment steps as we go, so your system no longer depends on one person who wrote it.

- Laravel
- MySQL

- PHPUnit
- jQuery

From first call to launch, with no surprises.
Clear milestones, weekly demos and a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Code and server audit
We review your CodeIgniter release, PHP version, custom libraries, database and hosting to find security risks, broken areas and upgrade blockers.
Options and fixed quote
You get a written report comparing maintain, upgrade and migrate paths, each with effort, risk and a fixed price, so the decision is clear.
Stabilize first
Critical security issues and production bugs are fixed first. We set up Git, a staging server and backups if they do not already exist.
Upgrade or migrate in stages
Modules are upgraded or moved to Laravel in planned releases, each tested against real data and demoed to you before it goes live.
Support after release
We monitor errors and performance after each release and continue with maintenance, new features and further modernization as needed.

CodeIgniter Development: frequently asked questions
Ask us on WhatsApp. A real person replies, usually within minutes during working hours.
Ask on WhatsAppIs CodeIgniter still worth maintaining?
Often, yes. CodeIgniter is lightweight and still maintained, and the current release supports modern PHP. If your app's business logic is solid, upgrading and patching it is usually cheaper and safer than a rebuild. We tell you honestly when the code has reached the point where migration makes more sense.
What do your CodeIgniter development services include?
Our CodeIgniter development services cover code audits, version upgrades, PHP compatibility fixes, security patching, bug fixes, new features, API development, ongoing maintenance and staged migration to Laravel. You can start with a one-time audit or upgrade and move to a monthly support retainer afterwards.
How hard is it to upgrade older CodeIgniter versions?
Older CodeIgniter releases and the current one have different folder structures, namespaces and libraries, so it is closer to a guided port than a simple update. Controllers, models and views are rewritten to the new structure, while routes, database and business rules stay the same. The audit tells you exactly how much code is affected.
Can you migrate our CodeIgniter app to Laravel without downtime?
Yes, using a staged approach. Laravel and CodeIgniter can run side by side on the same database, with traffic for each migrated module routed to the new code. Users keep working throughout, and each module is tested and approved before it goes live. The old app is retired only when every module has moved.
Can you just fix a few bugs without a long contract?
Yes. Many clients start with a small fixed-price task, such as fixing a payment issue or a broken report. It gives you a low-risk way to see how we work. If you want ongoing help afterwards, we offer a monthly maintenance retainer with direct developer access.
