Your CMS upgrade isn't getting any simpler.
You know you need to upgrade your CMS, but the complexity keeps stopping you. We'll map out exactly what it takes to upgrade safely.
20+
We've been upgrading sites through every single version for over 20 years.
5
The number of business days until you know what it takes to upgrade your site.
0
Zero failed upgrades. We've never had an upgrade break a client's site. We test everything, plan for edge cases, and execute with zero downtime.
Your Upgrade Plan includes:
- Analysis of breaking changes and high-risk areas that need special attention
- Complete review of third-party dependencies with upgrade paths or alternatives identified
- Exact server specifications for PHP version, database, and hosting platform compatibility
- Detailed breakdown of full upgrade cost and duration with no vague "depends on scope" answers
- Stakeholder-ready format with clear risks, benefits, and costs for budget approval
Delivered in 5 business days via document + 30-minute video call to walk through findings.
What does the Upgrade Plan cost?
$1,200 for a complete upgrade roadmap
You get everything listed above (version analysis, plugin audit, infrastructure requirements, timeline, cost estimate, and implementation roadmap) delivered in 5 business days with a walkthrough call.
If you hire us to execute the upgrade, the assessment fee comes off the total project cost. This is work we'd do anyway at the start of any upgrade project. We're just doing it up front so you have complete clarity before committing.
What happens if you don't hire us?
You keep the roadmap. Use it to get budget approval, hire another developer, or tackle it in-house. The plan is yours regardless.
Our process
Step 1: Discovery (Day 1)
You provide us with access to your current site, codebase, and server environment. We send you a brief questionnaire about your business priorities, budget constraints, and timeline needs.
Step 2: Assessment (Days 2-4)
Our team reviews your current version, audits all plugins for available upgrade paths, and analyzes your custom code to identify what needs to be rewritten or updated. We assess your infrastructure and map out the full upgrade path with multiple scenarios if needed.
Step 3: Roadmap Delivery (Day 5)
We deliver a comprehensive document with our findings, recommendations, timeline, and cost estimate. Then we walk you through it on a 30-minute video call and answer all your questions. Use the roadmap to get internal buy-in, take it to another developer, or hire us to execute the upgrade.
The risks of waiting
Security vulnerabilities pile up
Older CMS versions stop receiving security patches. Every month you delay is another month your site is exposed to known exploits.
You're locked out of new features
That plugin you need? It only works on the newer version. That performance improvement? Not available on your current version. You can't move forward while staying in place.
The gap gets more expensive
Upgrading from Craft 3 to Craft 4 is manageable. Craft 3 to Craft 5 is harder. The longer you wait, the more breaking changes accumulate and the more expensive the upgrade becomes.
Doing it wrong is costly
We see businesses every quarter who tried to upgrade without proper planning. Broken sites, lost data, weeks of downtime. The cost of getting it wrong far exceeds the cost of planning it right.
An expert assessment gives you:
- Confidence that the upgrade is feasible
- A realistic budget to present to stakeholders
- A clear path forward instead of paralysis
- Protection from expensive mistakes
Stop guessing. Get a plan.
Your CMS isn't going to upgrade itself, and the version gap isn't getting smaller. Get expert clarity on what it takes to upgrade safely.
