We have worked with Joomla for 18 years, and the previous version of Saitai.lt also ran on Joomla. We have hands-on experience with AI chatbots and search over a vector database. We do not publish client names for AI projects.
Included
We check the Joomla, PHP and extension versions, template overrides and which extensions will be compatible with a newer version.
We write your logic following Joomla’s architecture – as a separate extension that keeps working after core or template updates.
We move step by step to Joomla 5 or 6, replace or rewrite incompatible extensions, and keep your content, menus and URLs.
Forms and bookings flow into your CRM or accounting software, and data from your systems reaches the website via an API or import files.
A chatbot based on your website content or search by meaning. Visitors are told they are talking to AI.
We hand over the extension code and a short guide. Programming errors are fixed free of charge for 12 months.
Price
Small Joomla jobs cost €30/hour – for example, a template override, module set-up or a form change. For components, version upgrades and integrations we quote a fixed price after a free system review: an accounting software integration costs from €490, a payment integration from €150 and an AI feature from €990.

Get a quotePrices include all taxes – no VAT is charged (we are not VAT-registered). The final price depends on the project: we put it and the timeline in the contract before work starts.
Timeline
We agree the timeline for small changes before starting; for a component, version upgrade or integration we state it in our quote and put it in the contract.
| Job | Example | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Small change | template override, module set-up | agreed in advance |
| Component or module | calculator, catalogue, member area | stated in the quote |
| Version upgrade | from Joomla 3 or 4 to 5 or 6 | stated after the system review |
| Integration or AI feature | forms to CRM, chatbot | stated in the quote |
Process
We check the Joomla and extension versions, the template and the code, and tell you what can stay and what is worth replacing.
We describe the features or upgrade plan and what is excluded. Price and timeline go into the contract; work starts after the 50% deposit.
We develop or upgrade on a copy of the website. You can review the interim version.
We move the changes to the live website, check forms, menus and URLs, and hand over the code.
Programming errors are fixed free of charge for 12 months. Maintenance is available from €29/month.
Comparison
| Criterion | Keep the old version | Upgrade Joomla | Switch platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security updates | no longer released | released | released |
| Content and URLs | stay | preserved | migrated, with redirects |
| Amount of work | none for now | aligning extensions and template | largest – new system and content migration |
| Best for | a short period only | when Joomla suits you | when you need different features or Joomla no longer fits |

FAQ
Yes, but not in one click. Joomla 3 is first upgraded to 4, then step by step to 5 and 6. The old template and some extensions do not work in newer versions, so we replace or rewrite them while keeping content, menus and URLs. All work is done on a copy.
Yes. We build components, modules and plugins – for example, a price calculator, a conditional form, data import or a CRM link. We first check whether a reliable ready-made extension exists, as it is sometimes cheaper.
Yes, if it suits you: Joomla is actively developed, and multilingual support and detailed user permissions are built into the core. If complex logic and data matter most for your project, we also discuss a Laravel platform.
Yes, if the software has an API or import and export. An accounting software integration costs from €490. If your team already uses n8n, Make or Zapier, we integrate through them; otherwise we automate through programming.
If you can access the hosting control panel, we restore administrator access through the database. If not, we help you contact the hosting provider – you will need to show that the domain and website belong to you.
Yes. Once paid in full, we hand over the code of the extensions we wrote. Paid third-party extension licences are subject to their vendors’ terms.
