I have a site I am working on right now, it needs to be redesigned, and I wanted a better way to manage it.
The site is big, bigger and ugly than it seems, two separate user sections, just plain nightmare.
What I was looking for was a CMS that I could plug into my design, and not the other way around. I have not found this so I have resigned to either create my own CMS, I don’t have the time, or find the closest possible solution.
This company adds new pages constantly with the stupidest of requirements.
So, what I am looking at, right now, is needing a front page that is different from the rest of the site, I need static pages, dynamic pages, user page restrictions. I have a metric TON of forms that are on my site and I need to start working on viewing and editing this data but these viewers/editors need to be user restricted as well.
Anyway the more I dig the more this seems like its going to be what I want, but I wanted a experienced users opinion.

It really seems like this will be the one, I will be sure to throw it up in the site showcase when it is finished if I can sell the platform.

Using a CMS isn’t cheating...it’s just plain smart, especially when Modx has features such as template variables.

When you start deploying a large project, you will find out that you need a CMS system such as MODx to help you cut down your productivity time. The rest of the time you can use to make sure that you design a good design, as well as creating a lot of wonderfull extension for MODx that later can be use easily. I think your client will most likely to prefer it this way, instead of having you to build from scratch, which sometimes you need to sacrifice the reliability and security on the system, because of the time constraint that you have with the project.
So choosing CMS/CMF is the smart way to go to benefit both you and your client.
