Everything you need to know before hiring CodeIgniter developers from us. Still have a question?
Ask on WhatsAppBoth. CI 3.x is still widely used in legacy apps, and CI 4.x is the modern, namespace-based version. Our developers are equally proficient in both. We also handle CI 3 to CI 4 migrations regularly.
Yes. CI3 to CI4 migration is one of our specialties. We handle the namespace changes, helper functions migration, database library upgrades, and routing system changes — typically completed in 4-8 weeks depending on app size.
Depends on your case. If your CI app works fine and just needs maintenance, stay on CI 4. If you need modern features (queues, broadcasting, eloquent ORM, large ecosystem), Laravel migration is worth it. We help you decide objectively.
CI 4 — Shield (auth), Events, Filters, Migrations, Seeders, Throttling, REST API toolkit, CLI commands, Spark CLI. We follow PSR-12 standards and use Composer-based development.
Yes. CI 4 has excellent REST API support built-in. We build production-grade APIs with JWT authentication, rate limiting, OpenAPI documentation, versioning, and full test coverage.
Mid-level CodeIgniter developer: $1,800/month full-time. Senior: $2,400/month. CI architect: $3,200/month. All include 160 hours/month, daily standups, and dedicated work.
Yes. We handle CI 2.x, CI 3.x, and CI 4.x. For very old CI 2.x apps, we recommend either upgrading to CI 4 or migrating to Laravel — we audit your codebase and recommend the best path.
Yes. We profile with Debug Toolbar, optimize database queries, implement caching (file/Redis/Memcached), tune autoloading, and use the built-in caching library. Typically 3-5x speed improvements.
Yes. CI 4 supports Composer, so any PHP library works — Stripe, Razorpay, AWS SDK, Twilio, SendGrid, Firebase, Google APIs, OpenAI, etc. CI 3 also supports most libraries via custom integration.
Yes. Ongoing CodeIgniter maintenance from $300/month — security patches, dependency updates, bug fixes, performance monitoring. Hourly maintenance at $20/hour also available.
