Running Joomla 3 or 4? It Is Time to Move to Joomla 5 or 6.

Both Joomla 3 and 4 have stopped receiving security updates. That means your site is exposed and the longer you wait, the more complex the migration becomes. We take care of everything from the first audit through to launch. No data loss, no downtime, no surprises.

The Reality Check

Still Running Joomla 3? Here Is What That Means Right Now.

Joomla 3 is no longer supported. The Joomla project stopped releasing security patches in August 2023. Every vulnerability discovered since then is permanently unpatched on your site — and attackers know this.

But security is only part of the problem:

Your site has unpatched security vulnerabilities

Automated bots actively scan for outdated Joomla installations. Yours is visible to them.

Data privacy compliance becomes a real concern

Running outdated software makes it harder to demonstrate GDPR compliance to clients or regulators.

Your hosting provider may drop PHP support without warning

When that happens your site stops working. No error message, no preparation time.

Extensions and templates stop receiving updates

Broken functionality builds up over time with no official fix available.

Site performance starts to suffer

Slower load times affect your search rankings and increase the number of visitors who leave without taking action.

Your visitors notice before you do

A slow or broken site damages trust quickly. Most visitors will not tell you. They will simply leave.

The longer a site runs on an unsupported version, the more complicated the migration becomes.Most of our clients wish they had done it sooner.

What you actually get

What Your Site Actually Gains When You Move to Joomla 5 or 6.

Most people think of an upgrade as a maintenance task. In practice it usually makes a noticeable difference to how the site performs, how secure it is and how easy it is to manage.

Security that is actually maintained

Your site receives regular security patches again. Vulnerabilities are found and fixed by the Joomla team. You are not sitting on software that nobody is actively looking after anymore.

Faster page load times

Joomla 5 and 6 handle caching and database queries more efficiently. Most sites see a noticeable improvement in load speed after the migration. Faster sites also tend to rank better in search results.

PHP 8.2 and above compatibility

Many hosting providers are already dropping support for older PHP versions. Joomla 5 and 6 are built for current PHP which means your hosting stays stable and you avoid unexpected compatibility failures down the line.

A cleaner admin experience

The backend has been redesigned. It is faster, easier to navigate and works properly on mobile. Your team will notice the difference from the first day on the new version.

Privacy and consent tools built in

Joomla 5 and 6 include cookie consent and data privacy features as part of the core installation. For businesses operating under GDPR, this reduces the manual compliance work required and makes it easier to demonstrate that personal data is handled correctly.

A platform with a clear future

Joomla 5 and 6 are actively developed with a long support window ahead. You are moving to a platform that will be maintained and updated for years to come rather than one the community has moved on from.


Why Us

Why Businesses Trust Us With Their Joomla Site.

Most web agencies offer Joomla alongside WordPress, Shopify and everything else. We made a different choice. Joomla is the only platform we work with and that focus makes a real difference to the quality of what we deliver.

Joomla Only. Nothing Else.

We do not build WordPress sites or Shopify stores. Joomla is the only platform we work with. That level of focus means fewer mistakes, better results and a team that genuinely knows the platform inside out.

Fixed Price Before Work Begins.

You approve a fixed price before we start. No time tracking and no invoice surprises. What we quote is exactly what you pay.

You Work Directly With the Person Doing the Work.

No account managers and no handoffs to junior developers. You communicate directly with Abdulgani throughout the entire project.

Your Data Stays Where It Is.

We work within your existing hosting environment wherever possible. Your data is never transferred to third party servers. If you are not comfortable sharing access, our free JC System Report gives us everything we need without credentials.

Official Joomla Service Provider.

We are listed in the official Joomla Service Providers Directory. Verified and recognised by the Joomla community as a trusted professional service.

30 Days of Support After Launch.

We stay available after the upgrade is complete. Any unexpected issues or adjustments needed in the first 30 days are covered at no extra cost.

We are not the right fit for everyone. But if you want a Joomla upgrade done properly, by someone who does only Joomla, we are worth a conversation.

My company had been in a difficult situation with a big 3-year-Joomla-project being stuck. Abdulgani got our website online in a few weeks and we are now developping it further together with him. His work is extremely professional and I also appreciate his work ethics. The communication is always professional and I sometimes rely on short response times, which he always meets, sometimes even on weekends. Abdulgani has a close network with related specialists and this gives additional value. All communication runs through him personally, but he also has back-up people that know all details about our project. I can highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy IT-partner.

Abdulgani delivered good work on this Joomla project and I enjoyed working with him. His communication was top-notch, he met all deadlines, and his skills were reasonably strong. I enjoyed working with Abdulgani and will likely have additional jobs for him in the future.

Abdulgani is a very competent and responsible developer. He completed my joomla upgrade project and even though the contract has technically finished, he went out of his way to help me troubleshoot extensively and fix many bugs that came later. This is a guy who make sure the client is satisfied even though the project is done. i am very grateful to him.

How we do it

Here Is Exactly What Happens When You Work With Us.

Free Compatibility Audit

Share your site URL and extensions list. Within 12 hours you receive a written report and a fixed price quote. No credentials needed.

02

Backup and Staging Setup

We take a full verified backup of everything and build an exact copy of your site on a private staging environment. Your live site remains untouched throughout.

03

We upgrade the Joomla core to version 5 or 6 on staging. Every extension is reviewed, updated or replaced where needed. Every change is documented.

04

Testing and Your Review

We test every page, form and piece of functionality on the staging site. Nothing moves to your live server until you confirm you are happy with it.

05

Live Deployment and 30 Days Support

We move the upgraded site to your live server during a low traffic period. The switch takes under 30 minutes and 30 days of included support starts from that point.

This is the same process we follow on every project. It is why we have completed over 300 Joomla upgrades without a single case of data loss.
