Code Igniter vs Laravel

I totally agree with @jg6075, your clients/visitators doesn't which framework do you use, as long as your product works. Focus on what you like.
For a lot of projects it doesn't matter if you build them in codeigniter or laravel.

In my opinion if you like to understand and control how your app will react, and you like to build your own model, and use the architecture you like you choose CodeIgniter.
If you like everything out of the box, working like magic, and just put all the libraries like a puzzle, you will choose Laravel.
