We will upgrade your Joomla 3 website to Joomla 5.
An additional charge will be applied if the website is currently using a different Joomla version.
We will also upgrade your PHP 7 to PHP 8.1, if needed.
Extension Compatibility
<>Some extensions designed for Joomla 3 may not be compatible with Joomla 5 or PHP 8.1, if an extension is incompatible, we will either replace it with a different extension or address the missing feature.
The extent of extension replacement may incur additional costs. If a paid-for extension needs to be purchased, we will inform you beforehand.
Upon consensus, you will purchase the required extension and make it available for use.
Extension Updates
If you possess a paid-for extension for Joomla 3, you must provide us with the corresponding Joomla 5 extension, or we will try to get a similar extension (see above).
If the annual fee for the extension needs to be renewed, you will be responsible for the renewal fee.
Template Compatibility
In case of your current template appear not to be compatible with Joomla 5, we will install a new Joomla 5 compatible template, or use the default Cassiopeia-template. We will these cases do our best to achieve a similar look and style as your current live Joomla 3 website during the migration process. But this is not guaranteed.
Turnaround Time & Payment
The estimated turnaround time for the upgrade is 15 to 20 working days.
Work will commence upon payment of invoice and provision of the login details.
Migration Process
We make a copy of your live Joomla 3 website, using Akeeba Backup.
We install it on a TEST server that is identical to your servers preset, and set the site to "Under Construction" on our TEST server. No changes will be done for the live site'sd server before we move the finished Joomla 5 site back.
If any changes were made to the Joomla 3 website during the migration, we will replicate those changes on the migrated website.
We will make the migrated website live on our TEST server temporarily.
Once you are satisfied with the migrated website, we will install on yor server and make it live.
The migration is considered complete once the website is live on your server, and all data is checked.
Website Edits
Any minor technical edits to the design and layout within the first month will be undertaken at no cost.
This does NOT apply to content or extension edits.
After 30 days, a fee will be allegeable for any further edits.
