How it works
2. We work on a copy
We copy your site to a private staging environment. Your live site is never touched.
3. Scan and human review
Your code is scanned with compatibility tools and reviewed line by line by a senior developer. Claude Code speeds up the scan, and a human checks every finding.
You get the written report and the fixed quote within 3 business days of access.
What we need from you
- Hosting or control-panel access (or SSH), a copy of the code, and a database copy. We set up a staging copy if none exists.
- No work starts until we confirm your app fits the service bought. If it doesn't, you can get a full refund.

Frequently asked questions
Will this touch my live site?
No. All the work happens on a copy.
What if my site barely needs changes?
The report will say so, and the quote will reflect it.
I'm on PHP 7 or older. Is that a problem?
No, the report covers it. Those upgrades are quoted individually.
What if I don't book the upgrade?
You keep the report, and any developer can work from it.
