MODX is a content management system that helps you create superlative web sites. There are two key benefits to MODX. First, it makes web sites easy for you and others you designate as site admins to maintain. Second, once you get used to it, it allows you to create very complex web sites in a very short time. Things that would take many lines of code for you to do yourself can often be accomplished with a line or two in MODX.

Within the MODX manager, you have access to a built-in package library which contains most of what any developer would need for common tasks.

Super-simple templates in regular HTML/CSS/JS (any lib you want). Registered user systems and a killer community. Welcome to web-building nirvana.
