Joomla 3 to Joomla 5 Upgrade Process
The upgrade process follows clear steps, starting with assessing your current site and ensuring everything works perfectly after the transition. Each step is designed to make the move to Joomla 5 smooth and stress-free.
1. Assessment & Quote (No Charge)
2. Initial Assessment & Backup
After approving the quote, we create a full backup of your website (files, databases, configurations) and store it securely. We then run security checks to ensure your server meets Joomla 5’s requirements (PHP 8.1+). This phase guarantees your data is protected and your site is ready for migration.
3. Upgrade & Compatibility Fixes
Using a staging environment, we upgrade your Joomla core from version 3 to 5. Any incompatible extensions or templates are updated, rebuilt, or replaced. Custom code is refined to align with Joomla 5’s modern architecture. We test every fix thoroughly to ensure your site works flawlessly before it goes live.
4. Final Testing & Launch
Once everything is polished, we deploy your Joomla 5 site with zero downtime and provide a 30-day support window for quick adjustments.
Our Case Studies
We have two case studies and even more we can show for Joomla Upgrade. OR If we show the Reviews of Past projects done. We need to generate Social proof or Trust in User’s mind
Sing Hiap Hin
SINGHIAPHIN, a dynamic e-commerce website, utilizes Joomla with the VirtueMart extension for its e-commerce functionality. Initially operating on Joomla 3, the site featured numerous third-party extensions that were not compatible with Joomla 4. To address this, we began by disabling these incompatible extensions and upgrading the website to Joomla 4.
NUMARK Associates, Inc.
Numark, a leading organization, approached us to resolve technical challenges on their outdated Joomla website. The site ran on an older Joomla version with a discontinued template and compatibility issues. We migrated the website to Joomla 5, ensuring data integrity and resolving legacy issues. A custom Joomla 5 template was developed using HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap 5, optimized for responsiveness and performance. Using Joomla’s template override system, we ensured modularity for future updates.
HIPAASUITE
We have extensive experience in migrating sites from Joomla 3.x to the 4.x version, which includes handling custom components and templates. In instances where certain extensions were not available on Joomla 4, we have successfully managed the migration of data from other components. A recent project exemplifies our proficiency – we seamlessly migrated a Joomla 3 site to Joomla 4.
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Upgrade your website with ease and enjoy better features, stronger security, and improved performance.
Many extensions used in Joomla 3 will need updates for Joomla 5 compatibility. During the upgrade, all extensions will be reviewed and updated, and suitable alternatives will be recommended if necessary.
Payments can be made through the following methods:
- Upwork: Offering Escrow for secure transactions and Hourly Tracker for trust and transparency.
- PayPal: A convenient and widely trusted payment method.
- Direct Bank Transfer: For straightforward and reliable transactions.
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. If the upgrade cannot be completed or if there is an issue caused by us, a full refund will be provided. For projects on Upwork, Escrow offers additional protection for both parties.
The time required depends on the complexity and size of your website. Generally, the process takes between 2 and 7 days. A precise timeline will be shared after reviewing your site.
Communication is key throughout the upgrade process. A dedicated Slack channel will be set up for direct and efficient communication. Additionally, we are flexible and can communicate via Email, WhatsApp, Skype, or any platform you prefer.
Downtime is minimized by using a staging environment to perform and test the upgrade. Once everything is verified, the final switch to the live site will be swift and efficient.
