Does this sound familiar?

CI3 is End-of-Life

No more security updates. Every new PHP version could break your app.

Hoster pushing PHP 8

PHP 7.4 is being shut down and your CI3 app is not compatible.

Hard to find developers

Hardly anyone wants to touch CI3 code anymore. New features get expensive.

Migration postponed

You know it is necessary – but who should do it? And what does it cost?

I work with CodeIgniter daily

This website runs on CodeIgniter 4. I have been using the framework for over 11 years – from CI2 through CI3 to today's CI4. The migration is not rocket science, but it needs someone who knows both worlds.

CI4 is a complete rewrite – not a simple update. Namespaces, PSR-4 autoloading, new routing. I know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. Your custom libraries? I migrate them too. Your data? Stays intact.

What you get

From CI3 to CI4 – completely modernised

Architecture

Modern code with namespaces

Your code is migrated to the new CI4 architecture. PSR-4 autoloading, namespaces, modern structure. No more legacy baggage.

  • PSR-4 Autoloading – Standard-compliant structure
  • Namespaces – Clean code organisation
  • MVC 2.0 – Entities, Models, Services
  • PHP 8.x – Typed Properties, Attributes

Libraries

Custom code comes along

Your own libraries, helpers and plugins don't disappear. I port them to CI4 standards – clean, tested, documented.

  • Custom Libraries – Adapted to CI4 namespaces
  • Helper Functions – Modernised and typed
  • Third-Party Code – Composer integration where possible
  • Documentation – What was migrated how

Security

Future-proof and maintained

CI4 is actively developed. Security updates, new features, community support. Your app is secured for years again.

  • Active Support – Regular security updates
  • CSRF Protection – Improved security features
  • Content Security – CSP Headers support
  • Composer – Easy updates via CLI

Why me

CodeIgniter is my daily driver

Own CI4 projects

This website, client portals, APIs – I use CI4 daily and know every corner.

CI3 veteran

I have worked with CI3 for years and know how the old code works.

Direct communication

No project manager in between. You talk directly with the person writing the code.

Fixed-price guarantee

After the analysis you get a fixed-price offer. No surprises.

The process

In 4 Schritten zu CodeIgniter 4

1

Analysis

I look at your code – controllers, models, libraries. What is standard, what is custom?

2

Offer

You get a fixed-price offer with a timeline. No hidden costs.

3

Migration

I migrate on a staging environment. Your live app keeps running.

4

Go-Live

After testing and sign-off, the new version goes live. Documentation included.

"Our CI3 application was 8 years old and nobody wanted to touch it. Vincent migrated it to CI4 in 3 weeks – including all custom libraries. It now runs on PHP 8.2 and is significantly faster."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about CI3→CI4 migration

That depends on the complexity of your application. Small apps from CHF 2,000, larger projects with many custom libraries accordingly more. After a free analysis you will receive a binding fixed-price offer.

Depending on scope between 1 and 4 weeks. A standard app with little custom code: 5-7 days. A complex application with many libraries: 2-4 weeks. You get an exact timeline.

Yes, completely. The migration only affects the application code, not the database. Before the migration I make a complete backup.

Yes. The migration takes place on a staging environment. Your live application continues to run normally until go-live.

CI4 is a complete rewrite. The most important changes: namespaces instead of global classes, PSR-4 autoloading, new routing system, entities instead of arrays, improved security features.
