I will upgrade your old laravel app to laravel 13 safely


About this gig
Stuck on an old Laravel version? Old versions stop getting security fixes, packages drop support, and every month the jump gets harder. I'll move your app forward one version at a time, so nothing breaks silently.
What you get:
- Laravel and its first-party packages upgraded
- Deprecated code replaced, following the official upgrade guide for each version
- Third-party packages updated, or swapped for maintained ones
- Your tests passing, or a smoke test of the key pages if you have no tests
- Written notes on everything that changed, and anything to do on your server
How it works:
- Share your code (a Git repository is best) and tell me where it's hosted
- I read your composer.json and send a plan before starting
- I upgrade on a separate branch, one version per commit, so every step can be reviewed or rolled back
I've built on Laravel since version 4.2 and run my own store on Laravel 13, so I know where each upgrade tends to break.
Big app or a very old version? Send me your composer.json first and I'll quote exactly.

FAQ
What counts as a small or medium app?
Small is up to about 30 models and controllers; medium is up to about 80. Send your composer.json and I'll tell you which package fits.
Will my site go down?
No. I work on a branch; you deploy when you're happy with it.
I have no tests. Is that a problem?
No, but I'll agree a list of key pages and actions with you and check each one after every version.
