FAQ

Is MVC going to last?

ASP.NET MVC is not some new hype. It has been around since 2009 and is not just a framework; but also, a new way of developing. Its Model-View-Controller approach makes code much easier to develop, maintain, and debug. It is built for the future!
In what other ways is MVC better than web forms?

Aside from the ease of hiring developer talent, the future proof framework, and clear separation of frontend versus backend application development, MVC is also significantly more performant. The frontend MVC application only loads the necessary content and allows websites to achieve much faster page loading times, resulting in better responsiveness.
What is the difference between Portal Engine and MVC in Kentico 12?

The biggest difference between the two frameworks is in the way you develop projects from a developer perspective. However, the goal for Kentico and business practitioners is to abstract technology differences away and provide the best editing experience no matter what technology is running underneath.
When should we migrate to MVC?

We recommend upgrading to the latest available version—i.e., from Kentico 11 Portal Engine to Kentico 12 Portal Engine. MVC is the recommended approach and, therefore, customers should consider transitioning as soon as possible.
1. If a site is currently at the end of its lifecycle and is about to be redesigned, the best approach is to create the new one based on MVC. During the redesign, most likely, some content will be reused, and so will OM and EC data, and some extensions. etc. The front end will probably be created from scratch.
2. If a site will come to the end of its lifecycle in the following years (by 2022), the best approach may be to wait and redesign at that point.
3. If the site is not going to come to the end of its lifecycle in the near feature and full support will still be required, the transition from Portal Engine to MVC must still be performed.
