PHP to Python
A path for applications suited to Python web and content ecosystems.
Fit depends on domain logic, data, and editorial needs.
Django · FastAPI · Wagtail
Move from legacy PHP and WordPress toward Python, Java, .NET, or Node.js with AI agents, migration engineers, or both.
The starting point
Aging PHP systems can carry maintenance burdens, unsupported dependencies, and integration friction. The right destination depends on the application, its users, and its constraints.
PHP itself is not inherently insecure. Risk comes from unsupported code, dependencies, and configuration.
A rewrite is not always needed. Modernizing the PHP version, framework, dependencies, and deployment can be the right destination.
Architectural options
Each path starts with an assessment of the application and its dependencies.
A path for applications suited to Python web and content ecosystems.
Fit depends on domain logic, data, and editorial needs.
A path for applications that benefit from a Java architecture.
Magnolia is one CMS option where content needs warrant it.
A path for applications aligned with the .NET ecosystem.
Umbraco is one CMS option, subject to requirements.
A path for JavaScript and TypeScript based services or content sites.
Choose the framework around application and content needs.
Keep PHP while updating the foundation beneath the application.
A valid destination when a rewrite adds little value.
WordPress · WooCommerce · Drupal · Joomla · Magento · Laravel · Symfony · CodeIgniter · CakePHP · Yii · legacy Zend/Laminas · custom PHP
Apache + mod_php · Nginx + PHP-FPM · LiteSpeed · IIS + PHP · shared hosting/cPanel · containers
These destinations are architectural options, not automatic one-to-one replacements. CMS features, plugins, themes, data, and integrations may require per-project assessment and rebuild work.
Delivery models
AI tooling supports suitable tasks. Your team owns review, QA, and deployment.
AI, experienced engineers, and your team work together. Task ownership is agreed for each engagement.
Migration engineering is coordinated end-to-end with agreed customer approvals.
Your team can take on approved work such as content inventory, infrastructure provisioning, test documentation, UAT, and manual checks to reduce scoped professional-services cost.
The roadmap
Migration doesn't end at launch.
Prepare
Inventory and audit, target architecture, integration discovery, task breakdown, risks, test plan, ownership, and backout plan.
Migrate and go live
Rebuild or convert suitable code, move content and data, validate in staging, and approve cutover.
Stabilize and support
Post-release monitoring within the contracted scope, triage, handover, and a maintenance plan.
Listed starting payments use Stripe checkout. Scope, start dates, and any further costs are agreed separately. Automated scanning and project tracking are not available here.
How it works
Describe the current application and intended destination.
Receive a migration blueprint covering architecture, tasks, risks, and a scoped estimate.
Choose agent-led, hybrid, or fully managed, and agree task ownership.
Confirm scope and contract terms; start dates are agreed per engagement.
Track milestones and approvals within the agreed delivery process.
Approve cutover and select a T-plus support arrangement.

Why Replatform Live
Engineering judgment and human oversight shape each proposed path. Customers retain control over decisions and approvals. We aim to avoid unnecessary rewrites, make milestones transparent, and plan for what happens after launch.
We describe capabilities here, not past clients; a scope discussion is where specifics belong.
Questions
Yes, a site can be rebuilt on those stacks, but CMS features, content, plugins, themes, and integrations need assessment and often rebuild work.
No. AI can assist suitable tasks, but architecture, validation, approvals, and cutover require planned work and human review.
Yes. Task ownership is agreed per engagement. Your team can handle approved content, infrastructure, testing, or manual checks.
No. Updating PHP, a framework, dependencies, and deployment may be the better path.
Ownership and access are set in the project contract. The intended approach is to preserve customer control of their code and data.
Both are project risks. Cutover, redirects, testing, and rollback planning can reduce risk, but outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Availability, scope, and start dates are discussed and agreed per engagement. A payment does not reserve a start date; this site does not track work.
