OTA Replatform — Laravel + Nuxt.js with Dual-Run on Magento

Written by:Team Anglara

Published:August 18, 2025

New portal on Laravel/Nuxt.js while we maintained the legacy Magento store—zero downtime migration.

Project Overview

A travel OTA wanted to move beyond Magento’s limitations without risking day-to-day sales. We engineered a custom e-commerce portal using a Laravel backend and a Nuxt.js (Vue) frontend, designed for speed, UX clarity, and long-term maintainability. While the new build progressed, our team simultaneously maintained and stabilized the legacy Magento site—patching issues, handling releases, and keeping checkout healthy. The result is a smooth, low-risk replatform: the new portal delivers a modern experience, and the transition from Magento happened without disruption to buyers or ops.

The Challenge & Solutions

Challenges

Legacy Constraints in Magento

Dated UX patterns and performance ceilings slowed browsing and hurt conversion.

Zero Downtime Requirement

New build couldn’t interrupt sales; Magento had to keep running reliably.

Data Parity & Migration Risk

Catalog, pricing, content, and orders needed consistent treatment across two systems.

Checkout Friction

Complex flows and heavy pages increased abandonment, especially on mobile.

Solutions

Custom Build: Laravel + Nuxt.js

New portal engineered for speed and flexible UX; API-driven, modular, and easy to extend.

Dual-Run Maintenance SLA

We kept Magento stable—patches, hotfixes, releases—so trading continued during the build.

Data Parity Plan & Cutover

Clear data contracts, sync processes, and staged migration; mapped redirects and SEO continuity.

UX & Performance Redesign

Lean pages, focused flows, optimized media; mobile experience prioritized to reduce checkout drop-offs

Process

1. Define

Business goals and dual-run constraints agreed upfront.

2. Research

Audit Magento flows, data, SEO, and perf bottlenecks.

3. Analysis

Design data contracts and migration/sync paths.

4. Design

UX/IA and mobile-first UI for browse→checkout.

5. Prototype

Validate flows and components with stakeholders.

6. Build

Laravel APIs + Nuxt.js frontend; incremental releases.

7. Test

UAT on real devices; parity checks vs. Magento.

8. Launch & Iterate

Staged cutover, redirects, monitoring, optimizations.

Product Specs / Tech Stack

New Portal: Laravel (backend/API), Nuxt.js (Vue) frontend
Legacy: Magento (maintained during build; patches, releases, fixes)
Key flows: browse → filter → package details → checkout
Infra: Staging → production rollout; monitoring & rollback readiness
Security/Compliance: RBAC, TLS, backups; SEO continuity via redirects/sitemaps

Key Innovations

Dual-Run Strategy

Building new while maintaining old reduced risk. Users kept buying on Magento as we developed, then transitioned to the Laravel/Nuxt.js portal with minimal disruption.

API-First Architecture

A clean Laravel API and Nuxt.js app separate concerns, enabling faster iteration, better testing, and smoother future integrations.

Mobile-First Performance

Critical rendering path trimmed, media optimized, and interactions streamlined so key pages feel fast on real devices.

Let’s Talk

The Impact

Performance

Faster perceived speed and smoother checkout, especially on mobile.

Legacy store kept healthy

No sales disruption during build

Clean user experience

Cleaner UX reduced friction through browse and checkout flows.

Future ready stack

Future-ready stack, easier to extend, integrate, and maintain

Conclusion

Replatforming doesn’t have to be risky. By dual-running Magento while building a custom Laravel/Nuxt.js portal, we delivered a modern, faster experience without interrupting revenue. If you’re planning a similar move, we’ll design a low-risk, staged path tailored to your stack and traffic. 13 - Thank you for watching.webp
