What this is
PHP Migration Studio helps owners of older PHP systems modernize safely. The focus is legacy WordPress hygiene, runtime upgrade audits, and written migration paths for custom apps that need a clear plan—not a risky rewrite. Conversion-focused service pages win when the value is specific, the next step is obvious, and trust signals stay concise.
Problem statement
Many PHP sites still run outdated versions, heavily customized themes, or codebases no one wants to touch. In 2026, WordPress maintenance still means disciplined plugins, backups, staged updates, and PHP compatibility checks—because unmanaged stacks break. For custom PHP, the blocker is deeper: teams need a migration plan, not a handful of one-off fixes.
Services
Three entry packages. One engineering bias: safety over theatre.
PHP 7.4 / 8.1 upgrade audit
- Review runtime blockers and hosting constraints.
- Scan deprecated patterns and dependency risks.
- Estimate effort to move versions safely.
- Provide a phased upgrade plan your team can execute.
Custom business app migration report
- Map technical debt, coupling, and version risk.
- Separate Rector-automatable work from manual review.
- Deliver a practical roadmap—not a default rewrite pitch.
- Prioritize what to upgrade first with clear rationale.
How it works
01
Discovery
Review the codebase, stack, hosting, and current pain points.
02
Audit
Use Rector as the refactoring engine and layered manual review.
03
Report
Written assessment: risks, quick wins, phased next steps.
04
Execution
If approved, move into cleanup or upgrades in controlled phases.
Why this approach
The buying decision on legacy PHP is usually fear of breakage, rising maintenance cost, and security exposure. This offer emphasizes audit clarity, staged execution, and concrete outputs—so the next step feels low-risk rather than vague “PHP support.”
Who it is for
If production sleep matters, you are the ICP.
- Small businesses with WordPress that feels fragile.
- Agencies maintaining long-tail client sites.
- SaaS teams pinned to older PHP runtimes.
- Companies with custom PHP that need a modernization plan.
- Teams exploring Rector who need strategy, guardrails, and sequencing.

Structured for audit → execution conversion
Book an audit if…
Secure the next PHP move before it becomes an incident.
- The site or app runs an older PHP line.
- WordPress customizations feel brittle.
- You need a migration plan before the next update becomes an incident.
Typical starting point: discovery call → fixed-scope audit → written report → optional implementation sprints.
