I am looking for an experienced PHP / CakePHP developer to carry out a clean rebuild of an existing production e-commerce platform.
This is not a migration, upgrade, or patch-up of the current codebase. The rebuild must use the current live site behaviour as the reference, with no reuse of existing application code beyond functional reference.
The priority is technical stability, correctness, and long-term maintainability, not visual redesign.
Project Overview
Clean rebuild using modern CakePHP (CakePHP 5 preferred) Full behavioural parity with the current live site No reuse of existing application code (reference only) Fixed-price proposal with clearly defined milestones Acceptance-based milestone payments (not time-based)
This is a real production e-commerce system with genuine operational complexity — not a simple storefront.
Behaviour must match the live system exactly unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
Documentation Provided (Available Immediately)
The following documents are provided up front and form part of the project contract:
Full Functional Specification System Scope Document Developer Handover Pack
These documents define the required behaviour, scope boundaries, and acceptance criteria. All proposals must be based on these documents, not assumptions or alternative interpretations.
What I’m Looking For
Strong CakePHP experience (framework internals, ORM, entities) Experience building or rebuilding non-trivial e-commerce systems Clear, structured communication Realistic timelines Comfort working to a written specification and acceptance criteria
What This Is Not
Not a quick fix or partial migration Not a design-only project Not suitable for junior developers Not suitable for template-based or plugin-driven approaches
Budget
Target budget: £6,500 (fixed price) Competitive proposals below this level will be considered where scope, delivery approach, and quality are not compromised Lowest price is not the deciding factor
Proposal Requirements
Please include:
Relevant CakePHP and e-commerce experience Brief description of your proposed architecture approach Estimated timeline Fixed price with milestone breakdown Confirmation you can work to strict behavioural parity as defined in the attached documentation
Proposals that do not reference the documentation or address the above will not be considered.
