We are seeking an experienced PHP developer to migrate an existing live website built in Kohana to a modern Laravel framework.
The new site must retain all existing functionality, but be refactored for: • Modern PHP (8.x+) standards • Clean Laravel structure (controllers, models, Blade views, routing, middleware) • Improved performance and maintainability • Shortened URL structure (clean, SEO-friendly routing)
You will be working with a fully functional Kohana site, currently handling live customer data, search functions, dynamic content and admin panel logic. The goal is a like-for-like rebuild with improved codebase, not a design overhaul (though the Laravel migration should allow for easier future theming).
⸻
Responsibilities: • Review and understand existing Kohana MVC structure and routes • Rebuild functionality within Laravel (latest stable version) • Replicate all controllers, models, and database interactions • Maintain existing logic (e.g. basket, search, admin tools, etc.) • Migrate configuration, helpers, and custom libraries to Laravel service classes • Replace old PHP/Kohana patterns with Laravel equivalents where possible • Implement clean, short Laravel routes for all existing pages • Ensure backward compatibility for indexed URLs (301 redirects where needed) • Migrate authentication and session handling • Deploy working Laravel app to staging server for review and testing
⸻
Requirements: • Strong background in PHP 7/8, Laravel 9+, and MySQL • Solid understanding of Kohana or similar MVC frameworks (e.g., CodeIgniter) • Experience migrating legacy PHP apps to modern frameworks • Good knowledge of Composer, Blade templates, and Eloquent ORM • Competence in routing, middleware, and RESTful structure • Familiar with URL rewriting / SEO-friendly routing • Able to work with existing codebase responsibly and securely
⸻
Deliverables: • Fully functional Laravel version of the current Kohana site • All pages and features operational (matching legacy functionality) • Clean, short Laravel route structure (no query-based URLs) • Basic testing and bug fixing included • Setup instructions / deployment documentation
⸻
Bonus Skills (Nice to Have): • Experience with Royal Mail API, Mailgun/Mailchimp, or DVLA-style integrations • Understanding of e-commerce logic (carts, orders, payments) • Familiarity with SEO-friendly migrations and 301 redirect planning
⸻
Project Type:
One-off project with the potential for long-term maintenance and feature work.
Budget:
Open to fixed price or hourly — please include your estimated timeframe and quote.
How to Apply:
Please provide: • Examples of Laravel projects you’ve built or migrated • Your experience with legacy PHP frameworks (Kohana, CodeIgniter, etc.) • Estimated completion time for migration of a medium-complexity website
