Congrats!!! by fmanness 08-Nov-07 10:50 AM
I discovered ModX by performing a search on "SEO CMS" on Google. Through, effectively, it also you to have a lot of control on metas and urls, which is really good for SEO, I discovered an amazing platform. I think that the idea behind the code is what really make Modx a really great tool.
Now, the price is for the "most promising". So, Modx has to evolve to become the "best CMS". One suggestion is about Documentation, which is a bit confusing; a better way to find templates and snippets and a really better documentation on how to write snippets, chunks and to integrate them. I think that when you'll enable a better way for the platform to grow through external snippets, chunks, ..., it will become the best product.
Anyway, I use it myself on 14 sites and find it really powerful. Congrats for the good work!!!

I am now basing my web design company on MODX CMS technology, so I'm keen to promote MODX and keep it alive.
Thanks to all involved in the MODX project.

definately deserved by richardjj 16-Jan-08 01:37 PM
All future CMS projects that our company now undertakes will be based on MODX. I love the product and I love the way it was developed and where it has positioned itself in the marketplace.
Its sort of like the Apple Macintosh of CMS world - making complex concepts simple yet classy. Keep up the splendid work!

I wholeheartedly agree by Meristem 07-Feb-08 07:45 AM
the comment directly above by richardjj is spot on. I think that if the ludges - and I might be an idiot - spent time learning MODx they would have given it best CMS outright. Having spent 3 months now learning it, I can't ever go back to Joomla nor Drupal., nor support my clients who do. I think those two have reached the logical end. There will always be a market for them just like there's a market for gasoline.

Looks great by spiritfly 12-Apr-08 12:30 PM
I think this is the best cms I have seen so far, but it needs a lot of work to get to the level where users not so into html/css php can use it.
