Migrate from MODX to React + Go
Keep your MODX content and business workflows while gaining a modern interface, your own API and an admin panel built for your team.
Platform strengths
Flexible design and content
Templates, chunks, snippets and Template Variables support custom pages and content models without a fixed theme.
Open source and hosting choice
MODX lets you choose infrastructure and adapt the code. It can be a strong foundation for content sites with established workflows.
How your project will change
| Parameter | MODX | React + Go |
|---|---|---|
| Business logic | MODX snippets and extras | Go API and modules with automated checks |
| Editorial workflow | Resources and Template Variables in Manager | Forms, roles and publishing tailored to your team |
When to consider migration
Accumulated customizations
When undocumented logic is spread across PHP snippets and extras, changes and upgrades require dependency analysis and compatibility checks.
A website becomes a product
Complex accounts, interactive flows and integrations may call for a dedicated API and a revised data model. MODX can support custom development, but that work still has a cost.
What you gain after migration
Independent interface and API
React / Next.js handles pages and interactions; Go handles business logic and integrations. Accounts, search and services can evolve independently of CMS templates.
Controlled content migration
We map resources, Template Variables and media to the agreed structure, preserve URLs where possible and configure redirects. Performance and indexing are checked before and after switching.
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.
