      Take your PSD file (hopefully set up with a lot of layers) and carve it up into a presentation system using a static page system of valid (strict) XHTML, CSS and a folder of images. Once you have that running and tested with good and not so good browsers you will be ready to use all of this as a custom MODx template. You need to learn what the basic dynamic placeholder pieces that MODx uses.

      I really find it best to first create a working base static system BEFORE introducing it to the wonder that is MODx.

      I also come from the PSD and XHTML/CSS world. I tried a whole bunch of CMS platforms. MODx is now "home" for me...
