Technology migration

Technology migration encompasses the modernization of your frontend and widget rewrites from older technologies, such as Web Forms and MVC, to modern frameworks.
ASP.NET Core and Next.js provide superior performance, cross-platform capabilities, and headless CMS mode, among other advantages, which makes the modernization crucial for future-proofing your Sitefinity projects.

IMPORTANT: Support for Web Forms capabilities in Sitefinity CMS frontend was discontinued in version 14.1. Progress strongly advises against using Web Forms for production deployments in any version beyond 13.3 LTS, which is the last officially supported version for Web Forms.
Web Forms capabilities are no longer eligible for support, feature development, or bug fixes - including security updates. Any newly introduced or discovered issues, including critical bugs without workarounds, will not be addressed.
The recommended alternative options are ASP.NET Core and Next.js.
