Project description:
"My website, user panel, and admin panel currently run on Core PHP 7.4.33. I want the entire codebase lifted into Laravel 12 while preserving every existing feature, setting, and piece of data exactly as users know them today.

Here is the scope I need you to cover:

• Full off-server backup of all site files and the database before any work begins
• A staging environment where the migration happens and can be tested end-to-end
• Upgrade of the underlying CMS / framework logic to Laravel 12, plus refactoring of custom PHP where required
• Updates to every theme, plugin, and library so they officially support Laravel 12
• Parity testing of the public site, user panel, and admin panel to confirm no functionality breaks
• Security hardening during the move—input sanitisation, updated dependencies, and best-practice server configs, security headers
• Audit of the current code for any third-party API calls or services (I’m not 100 % sure what’s in there) and seamless reconnection after the upgrade
• Smooth cut-over from staging to production once everything passes review

Acceptance criteria:
1. All pages load without errors under Laravel 12.
2. User flows, admin tools, and existing settings behave exactly as they do today.
3. No data loss; database schema migrated cleanly.
4. Independent security scan shows no critical or high-severity issues.
5. Detailed hand-off documentation: steps taken, updated libraries, and roll-back instructions.

If you have proven experience modernising Core PHP applications and hardening them along the way, let’s talk about timelines and your approach." (client-provided description)
