Angular & AngularJS Upgrades

Still Running an Old Version of Angular?

AngularJS reached end-of-life in 2021, and each Angular major drops out of support within roughly 18 months. We move you to a current, secure, supported version, or rebuild cleanly when the old framework can't be saved.

Why It Matters

The Cost of Staying on Old Angular

Legacy frameworks don't just age. They quietly become a liability.

No More Security Patches

AngularJS stopped receiving security fixes from Google in January 2022. Known vulnerabilities simply stay open.

Out of Long-Term Support

Each Angular major leaves long-term support about 18 months after release. Out-of-support versions get no fixes at all.

Hard to Hire For

Fewer developers will touch AngularJS or ancient Angular. Maintenance gets slower and more expensive every year.

Failing Dependencies

Old packages break with new Node, npm and browser releases. Builds that worked last year suddenly don't.

Sluggish Performance

Modern Angular is dramatically faster and lighter. Legacy bundles load slower than your users expect.

Breaking in New Browsers

Polyfills and old APIs age out. Features quietly stop working as browsers move on without you.

Honest Assessment

Upgrade or Rebuild?

We give you an honest call. Angular 2+ can usually be upgraded version-by-version. AngularJS (1.x) is end-of-life with no upgrade path, so that's a clean rebuild on modern Angular.

Signs We Can Upgrade

  • You're on Angular 2 or newer (has an ng-version tag)
  • The app still builds, even on an old CLI
  • Architecture is already component-based
  • You want to keep your existing features and data
  • We move you up one major at a time with ng update

Signs for a Clean Rebuild

  • You're on AngularJS 1.x (end-of-life since 2021)
  • No supported upgrade path exists from 1.x
  • Dependencies are abandoned or unmaintained
  • The codebase is hard to build or change safely
  • A clean rebuild on current Angular is the lower-risk route
The Process

How We Get You Current

A measured, low-risk path from legacy to modern, with you in control at every step.

1

Free Audit

We detect your exact version, map dependencies and risks, and tell you upgrade vs rebuild, with no obligation.

2

Plan & Quote

A clear, fixed-scope plan: the target version, the steps, the timeline and the price.

3

Incremental Migration

We move you up one major at a time, or rebuild module-by-module, keeping the app working throughout.

4

Handover & Support

Modern, tested, documented code, plus ongoing support so you never fall this far behind again.

Before we start

Questions people ask before starting

Straight answers about scope, timing and what working together looks like.

Can you upgrade AngularJS (1.x)?

AngularJS reached end-of-life in January 2022 and has no supported upgrade path, so we rebuild 1.x apps cleanly on the current version of Angular, preserving your features and data. For Angular 2 and newer we upgrade incrementally instead.

How do you upgrade modern Angular?

We move you up one major version at a time using the official ng update tooling and Angular migration schematics, testing at each step so the app keeps working throughout.

Which Angular versions do you work with?

All of them, from AngularJS 1.x through to the latest Angular release. We start by detecting your exact version and dependencies in a free audit.

Will my site go down during the migration?

No. We plan migrations to avoid downtime, working incrementally or rebuilding alongside your live site and switching over only when it is tested and ready.
