Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a ColdFusion Developer

Common questions from businesses looking to hire a ColdFusion (CFML) developer.

Is ColdFusion still used in 2026?

Yes. Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee power thousands of production business applications worldwide, especially in finance, healthcare, government, and manufacturing. Many organizations keep investing in ColdFusion because of its rapid development speed, built-in security features, and the cost of rewriting large legacy systems from scratch.

What's the difference between Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee?

Both are CFML engines that run the same core language. Adobe ColdFusion is the original commercial product with enterprise support and tooling, while Lucee is a free, open-source alternative known for its performance and lower licensing costs. I develop and migrate applications on both platforms depending on your budget and requirements — see my skills, or the full comparison on the blog.

How much does it cost to hire a ColdFusion developer?

Cost depends on project scope — a small bug fix or feature update is very different from a full ERP build or legacy migration. I offer both hourly and fixed-price project rates. Contact me with your requirements for a free, no-obligation quote, or read the full cost breakdown.

Can you migrate a legacy ColdFusion application to Lucee?

Yes. Migrating legacy ColdFusion applications to Lucee or a current Adobe ColdFusion release is one of my core services, handled with minimal downtime and full regression testing — see the migration roadmap.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance and support after launch?

Yes. I offer flexible retainer plans covering bug fixes, security patches, feature updates, and proactive monitoring so your ColdFusion application stays stable long after the initial build.

What industries have you built ColdFusion applications for?

I've delivered CFML projects across ERP/manufacturing, healthcare and lab testing, and workflow/approval automation — see real examples in the portfolio.
