I will analyse your Joomla website for a Joomla 6 upgrade
I'll analyse your Joomla 5 site and give you a clear report on what needs to happen before you can safely upgrade to Joomla 6.
Is your Joomla 5 website ready for Joomla 6?
Joomla 6 is not just another point release — it's a major upgrade that breaks things. Extensions stop working, templates may need to be rebuilt from scratch, and custom PHP code written for older versions may no longer be compatible. If you try to upgrade without preparation, you risk taking your live website down.
That's exactly why this analysis exists. Before touching your live site, I set up a complete copy of your Joomla 5 website in a safe test environment and run the full upgrade process there. The result is a clear, practical report — not a generic checklist, but an analysis based on your actual website.
What the analysis covers
Extension compatibility
Which extensions work in Joomla 6, which ones need updating, and which ones no longer have a Joomla 6 version and need to be replaced.
Template assessment
Whether your current template is compatible, needs updates, or needs to be replaced entirely.
Custom code review
Any PHP overrides, custom plugins or modifications that may break during the upgrade.
Risk assessment
An honest overview of the complexity and potential issues specific to your site.
Effort estimate
A realistic indication of what the actual live upgrade would involve, so you can make an informed decision.
Why site-specific matters
Every Joomla site is different. The risks depend on which extensions you use, how your template is built, and whether custom code is involved. A site running a handful of well-maintained extensions is very different from one that's been customised over many years. That's why a site-specific analysis is far more valuable than any generic upgrade guide you'll find online.
Who does this analysis
I'm a Joomla specialist with 17 years of hands-on experience. I know the CMS architecture in depth — which means I don't just run a tool and hand you the output. I interpret the results and tell you what they actually mean for your site.
After the analysis, you'll know exactly what you're getting into — and whether you're ready to upgrade.
About the freelancer
Gijs
Joomla Specialist & WordPress Developer
🇧🇪 BELGIUM
With 17 years of hands-on Joomla experience, I know this CMS like few others do. While most developers have moved on to WordPress or drag-and-drop builders, I've stayed with Joomla — not out of habit, but because I genuinely believe it's the right tool for many projects. That focus has made me a true specialist, not a generalist who happens to know Joomla. My work covers the full stack: converting designs into clean, lightweight HTML, CSS and JavaScript on the front-end, and building custom PHP solutions on the back-end. I've developed my own Joomla extensions and know the CMS architecture in depth. That means I don't just install and configure — I understand what's actually happening under the hood. One thing I feel strongly about: no page builders. Ever. I write code the way it should be written — lean, maintainable and purposeful. The result is websites that load fast, stay stable and are easy to manage. No bloated plugins, no sleeping code, no unnecessary dependencies. WordPress is part of my toolkit too. I bring the same standards to it: clean builds, no shortcuts, no visual editors that generate spaghetti code behind the scenes. I work as a freelancer based in Belgium, serving clients remotely. I keep communication straightforward and asynchronous — no endless meetings, just clear agreements and solid delivery. Whether you need a custom Joomla build, a migration, a Joomla 6 upgrade analysis or a tricky bug fixed — I'm the person you want on it.
