Hello everyone! I just started studying modx two days ago and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Previouly I've worked with WordPress but thought I'd try something else for a change.
I'm helping a friend of mine to create his portfolio, it's already coded in HTML/CSS and you can see it here:

Now, being all new to ModX I thought I'd ask a couple of things that I've been wondering instead of hitting my head to the wall untill i get it (my usual method).
1. As you can see the website uses smooth scrolling which in turn requires all the content to be on the same page. I'm currently using TV's to add dynamic content to different sections. For example I've named the TV for frontpage "HomeText", and for about page "AboutText" and then use tags to pull them in. Just wondering if this is the "right" way of doing it or is there something else?
2. In the works section I need to have the video open in a lightbox (currently using a jquery plugin prettyphoto which works fine). What would be the best and user-friendliest way to add this kind of content? Should I create a new TV for each piece and then pull them in the same way I did with text content?
3. If I do this with TV's then wouldn't this require the client to be able to do a little bit of programming to set the image link with the a tag in the input field? Seems a bit complicate so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows a better way?
Thank you for all (and any) replies!
