Migrate from MODX to React + Go
Are legacy MODX customizations slowing down new features and upgrades? Move to React + Go for a dedicated API, a tailored CRM and a product architecture your team can evolve.
Platform vs our custom development
| Parameter | MODX | Our development · React + Go |
|---|---|---|
| New features | Dependencies across snippets, plugins and templates | Separate Go modules and React components |
| Upgrades | Core, extras and customization compatibility | Your releases with tests and dependency checks |
| Team workflows | Content Manager; CRM needs customization | Dedicated content, customer and lead screens |
| Accounts and integrations | Extra logic inside the CMS project | Your own API for the website and external services |
What holds your project back
Legacy code makes changes expensive
In customized projects, workflows can be spread across snippets, plugins and templates. Each new feature starts with tracing dependencies and earlier implementation choices.
Extras complicate upgrades
Outdated extras can cause errors after a core upgrade. Compatibility checks and fixes to third-party code add maintenance work.
The admin needs business-specific extensions
The resource tree and Template Variables suit content pages. Leads, deals and approvals need additional screens and Manager customization.
Interactive features add another layer
Accounts, live filters and integrations require more code. When it is coupled to page templates, interface changes also affect server workflows.
What you gain after migration
Clear architecture and code handover
We separate the Go API from the React interface and deliver the repository, documentation and key workflow checks so another team can maintain the product.
Team-controlled releases
Migrated features no longer depend on MODX extras. We add dependency checks and a staging environment to prepare releases.
CRM for everyday work
We build lead, customer and status screens with appropriate roles. Editors manage content forms while sales teams follow their own workflow.
Room to grow into a product
Accounts, search and integrations use a shared API. We optimize queries and interface loading and measure real user journeys.
Management tools for your team
We agree on the features you need and connect the services you already use.
Content and leads in one workflow
Page editing, lead processing, staff roles and connections to your existing CRM.
Migration process
We verify data and workflows before switching to the new system.
Audit MODX
Inventory resources, Template Variables, snippets, extras, integrations and URLs; create a backup.
Build and migrate
Import content and media, rebuild the interface and agreed features, then reconcile data in staging.
Verify and switch
Check forms, metadata and redirects, sync final changes and agree on a cutover window and rollback plan.
Optional marketing support
Traffic after migration
Capture the baseline, check redirects and indexing at launch, then monitor changes for 4–8 weeks. Scope is agreed separately.
