Hello 1st post on Modx

Our company has decided to make MODx as our official CMS now onwards. After Discussion and filtering down all available CMS we had Silverstripe and MODx as preferred CMS. After testing few things we finally decided to lock with MODx.

We have a testing period of 6 months for this CMS and hoping to making it permanent. Haven’t gone through code and documentation myself, hopefully its easy and interesting.

Hi dbashyal!

Welcome to MODx! You have made a good choice - but am hopelessly biased though .

Though "easy" is relative, you will find MODx very flexible. It will do what you tell it to do and not box you into some corner about "how you should do stuff". Your designers are going to absolutely love it! MODx will not place any restrictions on their designs. Your developers will love it too and find it easy to extend; the API’s great and if they know their PHP, MODx will happily eat it and return the results..

One of our "weaker" points is documentation . It is not missing per se...it is just, well, here and there in some cases. Don’t let this put you off at all. This is something being worked on but you will find most answers here on the forums and in the wiki (official and public). Below are some great sites to start you off.

One of MODx greatest assets is its community; it is vibrant and very helpful. Feel free to post away..though google and the search function are also your best friends especially if you know what you are looking for or at least have an idea of what it is you want...If you are a twitter person, MODx is also on twitter.

Which version are you testing btw?

Thanks kongondo. Great reply. Our senior developers decided to use 1.0.0 rather than beta one. So many developers and different choice made hard to manage, as everyone using different software. So we locked magento as ecommerce few months ago and MODx as CMS from today.

OK, thx. All the best!

cheers/k

We have created a page to promote MODx and as our CMS of choice

Hope you like it.

nice site, eh?

Very nice design and nice backlink to modx Keep it up!

Maybe I’m some late, but I hope it’s OK!

The website himself looks nice, the homepage looks nice too! (One little point @ the home page, just add some uppercase instead of logo design Logo Design, it looks nicer)

Where on the homepage? In my browser everything looks just fine.

Hi,

At the homepage, there is some text:

logo design
To establish a strong identity and effectively market your business to potential customers you need a professional and memorable graphic logo design. We are committed to providing our clients with original logo designs that best suit their company’s needs at a competitive and affordable price. Our graphic logo designers are educated and trained in graphic design and fine arts. We will not stop designing until you are 100% satisfied.

As you see the ’logo design’ isn’t with uppercase letters, uppercase letters look nicer.
Greetings,
Ricardo
