Hi there I have shop on Magento 1 and want to migrate before "end of life". But to be honest i've got no idea where to find a proper person to hire for that. In-house teams are way too costly so I consider outsourcing. Checking out Clutch found these guys: https://selleo.com/ https://www.intellias.com/ https://belvg.com/ https://forbytes.com/ Do you know any other good options?
End of life does not means that the script will stop working. Its just that magento will stop releasing bug fixes etc for that version. If they have released a new version, then they must have also released an upgrade script that connects to old database and copies data into new database (in case database structure is different). Then, its all about copying front end php files to server. If backend database is the same, then you can simply copy new php files and upgrade is done.
