Site and extension review
We inventory templates, overrides, components, content relationships and access groups. That identifies the behavior worth retaining and the dependencies that may affect an upgrade or redesign.

Joomla development and maintenance
Build, upgrade and maintain the Joomla sites your team relies on. Joomla 6 is the current major version, with bug fixes until October 17, 2028, and it requires PHP 8.3 or later; Joomla 3 and 4 no longer receive security fixes from the Joomla project. Work starts with a review of your installation before deciding what to extend, upgrade or replace.
Keep publishing practical as the site grows.
A Joomla site may contain years of content, custom templates and extensions that people depend on. We begin by seeing what editors publish, what visitors need to find and which parts of the current installation are fragile. The answer may be a focused improvement, a planned upgrade or a new build. We do not decide that from the platform name alone.

Joomla migration & upgrades
Move a Joomla 3, 4 or 5 site to Joomla 6 with the route, the risks and the rollback known before anything changes on the live site. Every route is rehearsed on a separate copy, and a redirect plan protects search traffic, although no move can promise unchanged rankings. The handover is documented, with ownership set out in your agreement. The first step is an upgrade assessment.

The exact work follows a review of the site, its extensions and the tasks it must support.
Content and experience
Navigation, article structures and reusable page patterns are planned for visitors and editors. Custom functionality uses an approach that can be understood and maintained within the selected installation.
Release verification
We check editorial tasks, permissions, important URLs, forms and mobile journeys against the agreed scope. Changes are rehearsed away from the live site when risk warrants it.

Guides for Joomla site owners.
Two guides for common questions from Joomla site owners: when and how to upgrade, and why a site is slow.
Planning a Joomla 6 upgrade
Support dates, PHP requirements and the route from Joomla 3, 4 or 5 to Joomla 6, with rules for upgrading in place or migrating.

Separate server response, database and extension work, media and browser rendering to find the real bottleneck before changing anything.
Read the guide: Diagnosing a slow Joomla websiteTreat compatibility as a project question.
The current Joomla version, PHP environment, extensions and custom code determine which path is sensible. A vendor may no longer maintain a dependency, or an older template may need work before the site can move safely. We document those findings and the available choices, including replacement, instead of promising that every extension can be carried forward.
Involve the editors in review.
A page can look correct while routine publishing remains difficult. We ask editors to update content, preview changes and correct a mistake using the planned workflow. We also check that permissions match actual responsibilities and that new navigation does not hide useful existing information. This is how a technical change becomes an improvement the team can feel.
Hand over an understandable installation.
Your team receives a record of important extensions, customizations, update responsibilities and the release method. We distinguish included maintenance from future requests and list the provider accounts, with ownership of each set out in your agreement. If a larger migration is needed, content decisions, redirects and backup ownership are agreed before the cutover.

Questions before we start.
Can you work with our current Joomla installation?
Yes, subject to a review of the actual version, extensions, template and hosting. That review shows whether focused changes are safe or whether compatibility work is needed first. We do not assume a supported upgrade path without checking dependencies.
Do we have to replace Joomla to improve the design?
Not necessarily. The content structure and existing template can sometimes be improved within the current platform. We compare that path with a rebuild using your editorial needs, maintenance capacity and the cost of inherited extensions.
Which Joomla version should our site be on?
Joomla 6, the current major version. Joomla 5 receives security fixes only from October 13, 2026 until October 12, 2027. Joomla 3 and 4 no longer receive security fixes from the Joomla project, and Joomla 3’s paid extended support ended on February 17, 2025. Joomla 6 requires PHP 8.3 or later, so check what your host offers before planning the upgrade.
