Current MODX pain

The site works, but further development is difficult

A familiar picture: a MODX project has been running for years, with accumulated data, SEO, and integrations. But any edit becomes a risk, and a full migration becomes a fear of losing traffic and sales.

Outdated MODX and PHP versions

Old Evolution or early Revolution, outdated PHP, plugins that no one has updated for a long time.

Fragile layout and build

Templates on chunks and snippets, manual asset assembly, no normal dev environment and CI.

Fear of losing SEO and traffic

Migration "from scratch" destroys URLs, meta tags, and indexing β€” business loses leads for months.

Cannot stop sales

The site brings revenue every day. Full stop for migration is not an option.

How we migrate

Five controlled steps instead of one big "jump"

Each stage is a separate, reversible step. At any of them, you can stop, rollback, or continue using the site β€” without losing the result of the work already done.

  1. 01
    Audit

    Audit and migration map

    We study the current MODX project: versions, templates, plugins, integrations, URL structure, and SEO. We prepare a risk map and a step-by-step plan.

  2. 02
    Containerization

    Wrap the current site in Docker

    We raise the existing MODX in containers with fixed PHP and DB versions. We add dev environment, backups, and CI β€” without changing functionality.

  3. 03
    Frontend

    Parallel modern frontend

    On top of MODX, we connect a new frontend on a modern stack. MODX remains the data source β€” the frontend is gradually updated page by page.

  4. 04
    Routing

    Page-by-page migration via edge router

    Edge router by URL decides: the page is served by the old MODX or the new platform. We switch sections one by one, with control of metrics and SEO.

  5. 05
    Core replacement

    Gradual platform replacement

    When all key sections are migrated, MODX is taken out from under load. Content and admin panel move to a modern headless stack.

Guarantees

Business safety is built into the process

We don't "redesign the site". We build a process where an error in one step doesn't break everything else.

Work without downtime

The site remains online at every step. All changes are rolled out through stages and gradual traffic switcher.

Preservation of SEO and URLs

URL structure, meta tags, sitemap, and microdata are transferred 1:1. Redirects and canonical links are under control.

Rollback at any stage

Each step is isolated: versions in git, infrastructure in code, traffic switching is reversible in minutes.

Transparent process

The plan, tasks, and migration metrics are open. You see what and why changes at each step.

Familiar content work

Editors continue to work in the familiar admin panel while we migrate it to a modern headless tool.

Data safety

Regular DB and file backups, version-controlled migrations, no one-time manual "fixes directly in prod".

Technologies

Modern stack, but without religion around it

We select tools for migration tasks, not vice versa. The stack below is a typical set that we use most often.

Infrastructure

Isolated environments and predictable deployments for the current MODX and the new platform.

  • Docker
  • Docker Compose
  • Nginx / Traefik

Frontend

New layer on top of MODX: fast, SEO-friendly, with page-by-page control.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • Apollo-Client
  • TypeScript

Backend and content

Gradual departure from the MODX monolith to a headless data source.

  • Node.js
  • REST / GraphQL API
  • Headless CMS
  • PostgreSQL

Observability

We control migration by metrics, not "by eye".

  • Uptime metrics
  • Request logs
  • SEO monitoring
  • A/B by URL
Next step

Start with an audit β€” without obligation to migrate everything at once

We will show the migration map of your specific MODX project: what to change first, what can be left, where the main risks are, and how long each step will take.

We will respond within one business day.

  • Risk map for the current MODX
  • Step-by-step migration plan for your business
  • Estimation of timelines and costs for each stage
