Project Description
I have paid-subscription web site www.firearmsguide.com (firearms & ammunition technical reference guide in PHP) built on Joomla 3.4 and I need it to be upgraded on newest Joomla with 2-3 modules that also has to be upgraded to newer versions. PHP database should be upgraded to the latest the version supported by new Joomla and hosting company Bluehost. Upgrade should not be done on the live site directly, but on cloned web on a staging server so that original site working all the time for subscribers. Content of the web site is hidden behind a paywall, once subscription is paid, subscriber can see all the content. Payment system is Paypal. Membership Pro can export database of users and database of coupons in Excel file and that file can be then imported in the new version of the Membership Pro version, so that part shouldn't be hard.

OSMap (sitemap generator for SEO) is not installed but I would like to have it on new web.
New template to work on the new Joomla will be necessary, hopefully something that looks like the old one.
I will provide full cPanel and Joomla admin access once we agree on the plan. Please let me know your approach and a realistic timeline so we can get started quickly.
