I’m ready to give my existing PHP site a fresh lease on life. The codebase is stable but dated, so I need a developer who can overhaul both the look and the engine without breaking what already works. Front-end goals • Deliver a modern, clean aesthetic that instantly feels current. • Streamline navigation so users reach any page in two clicks or less. • Make every screen fully responsive, performing flawlessly from mobile to desktop. Back-end goals • Optimise MySQL queries and indexes so pages load noticeably faster. • Integrate several new REST-style APIs (I’ll share docs once we start) and tidy up existing calls for consistency and error handling. • Tighten user authentication, moving to more secure hashing and adding options such as social login if it fits the architecture. I’ll give you Git access to the repo, a staging server, and a short list of known pain points. Please look over the code, outline your upgrade plan, and estimate a realistic turnaround. I value clean, well-commented PHP (ideally following an MVC structure) and expect commits in logical chunks so I can track progress easily. Show me examples of similar modernisations you’ve done, note any frameworks or libraries you’d propose, and flag potential roadblocks early. Once complete, I’ll test on staging; after sign-off, you’ll push to production. Looking forward to a smooth, well-documented upgrade that makes the site faster, safer, and a pleasure to use.
