# Web Forms deprecation with Sitefinity CMS 14.1

**DISCLAIMER:** The Web Forms related documentation has been removed in version 14.1 of Sitefinity product documentation as obsolete. This is done in accordance with the deprecated Web Forms capabilities.

## Deprecation scope 

With the release of Sitefinity CMS 14.1 (March 2022), the support for the following capabilities in Sitefinity CMS frontend was discontinued:

* Web Forms widgets for front-end development
* Web Forms widget templates
* Hybrid page templates
* Responsive & Mobile design module (only used in relation to Web Forms)

On version 14.1 and higher, Web Forms capabilities for **new projects** are **not available**.\
Alternative options: the **recommended** frontend technologies are **ASP.NET Core** and **Next.js**.\
Note that the deprecated capabilities are still included in later versions, such as 15.x, to facilitate the transition to ASP.NET Core or Next.js.

**Progress strongly advises against using Web Forms for production deployments** in any version beyond 13.3 LTS, which remains the last officially supported version for Web Forms.\
Customers who choose to deploy Web Forms based websites on versions beyond 13.3, do so **at their own risk**.\
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**.
