title: Converting a raw PHP site to Laravel
body: <p>I am in the process of converting a raw PHP site (no framework, no nothing) to Laravel.</p>
  
  <p>We have two approaches here: we either do everything in one shot, or we can try migrating feature by feature.</p>
  
  <p>I would rather do this one shot but it will depend on the timeframe, and we would like to have an option for migrating feature by feature, being able to keep part of the site with its original raw structure, and migrating to Laravel piece by piece.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to have both working side by side?</p>
  
  <p>Can we have a subfolder within a Laravel project that is ignored by Laravel and contains the old features, and as we move along, we create new route handlers for each of the features that is being migrated to laravel?</p>
  
  <p>Or should we approach this in a different way?</p>
