You will get a supplied HTML theme implemented into your CakePHP app


Project details
A good theme implementation is not just copying HTML into an application. It requires understanding how CakePHP structures layouts, templates, elements, helpers and assets, so the final result stays clean, maintainable and easy to extend.
With long-term experience in PHP and CakePHP development, I can adapt your supplied frontend design to the existing application structure without disrupting the current functionality.
The goal is a stable, organized and visually updated CakePHP application that keeps your existing system working while giving it a fresh, professional interface.

Experienced CakePHP developer
Offenbach, Germany - 8:16 am local time
My main focus is CakePHP, legacy PHP modernization, e-commerce platforms, admin systems, REST APIs, MySQL databases and long-term technical support.
Web development has been my professional focus since 2000, starting with PHP and MySQL. Since 2007, CakePHP has been my primary framework, covering projects from older 1.x and 2.x applications to modern CakePHP 4 and CakePHP 5 systems.
The applications I work on usually support real business operations: orders, products, customers, inventory, payments, administration, reports, user roles, integrations and internal workflows.
Services include:
- CakePHP upgrades and migrations
- legacy PHP and CakePHP modernization
- custom CakePHP web application development
- business admin panels and internal systems
- e-commerce platforms with product catalogs, orders, payments and administration
- warehouse, inventory, order and logistics systems
- REST API development and third-party integrations
- MySQL database design, optimization and migrations
- refactoring old PHP code
- authentication, authorization and user roles
- long-term maintenance, stabilization and technical support
This profile is especially relevant for clients with an existing PHP or CakePHP application that still supports important business processes, but has become difficult to maintain, hard to extend or incompatible with modern PHP versions and hosting environments.
With legacy applications, the goal is to protect what already works while improving the technical foundation. The first step is reviewing the existing structure, identifying core business logic and technical risks, then moving forward in controlled steps. This helps reduce risk, preserve important functionality and create a cleaner foundation for future development.
For new applications, the focus is on clear structure, maintainable code, well-organized database design and practical features that can grow with the business. The result should be stable, understandable and useful in daily work.
Depending on the project, I can work independently on an existing application, build a new module, modernize part of a system or provide long-term PHP/CakePHP support.
Written and async communication works best for keeping requirements clear and avoiding misunderstandings. I am comfortable using Upwork Messages, Slack, Jira, Trello, email and similar tools.
My Upwork profile is new because I spent the last ten years working as a full-time employed developer. Now I am returning to independent work and building my Upwork history from the beginning.
The experience described here is not theoretical. It comes from more than two decades of professional work on real applications used in daily business operations.
If you need an experienced PHP/CakePHP developer who can understand an existing system, modernize it carefully or build a new application on a stable technical foundation, I can be a strong choice for your project.
