David Gibson

I specialize in upgrading and troubleshooting Concrete5 installations.
I regularly upgrade legacy versions of Concrete5 (5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6) to run on PHP 7.

I can carry out repairs to failed 5.7 to Version 8 upgrades and installs.
I can often repair databases that have failed with the dreaded “Foreign Key Constraint Error”.

This is how I do website upgrades...
I get a copy of the database and a zipped copy of the files/folders.
I load these to my development server to perform the upgrades.
When I am satisfied that the file system, addons, and database are upgraded or repaired correctly I load them all to a spare domain.
I contact you with the web address of the spare domain so you can test for yourself.
I send you an invoice for my time, when the invoice is paid I give you the updated files/folders and database,
or if you prefer I can replace your existing files/folders and database on your server.

Importantly, if I cannot do the upgrades, I do not invoice you!
Currently, I am upgrading sites to run on PHP Version 7.4.2.

Contact me by Private Message (PM) from this profile page if you would like more information.

Best Regards
David
