What is the easiest most visual way of creating a page in Modx Revolution?

I create my pages in Dreamweaver from layouts I create in Photoshop.

How do I take my html, css, images files into Modx Rev and create a web page containing Elements (yeah I think that was the name for plugins like a navigation bar, blog, breadcrumbs, forms etc).

What is easiest path that contains the most visual involving the lowest learning curve (the simple way) to do this?

Thanks.

Simple is beautiful.

Templating is really simple in MODx. You can just copy and paste your html you’ve made in Dreamweaver into a MODx template.
From there you need to work with MODx tags to display the content of your resources, chunks etc.

Some links to get you started:
Rev documentation: http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/MODx+Revolution

Some Evo tutorials, but the basic idea is the same in Rev:

Maybe someone else knows some Revolution beginner tutorials.

Welcome to MODx.

Here comes a really late reply...:)

Thank you for your response!

I am tried out a few things, but I still have more to do before I go ahead and ask questions. I have really not taken the time lately to go deeper. But look forward to once again doing so.

Btw
I’m in a web design class (brushing up as well as adding more knowledge, the class is great)
and we have been trying out Joomla for a week. It seems the easiest way to design the layout is to download a template and modify whatever one is able to. Since is has been somewhat difficult in modifying the template. I look forward to comparing Joomla and Modx.

Have a great day!

ps
What’s the status of Revolution these days?

Revolution RC3 is out and is very stable.
