In this video tutorial I would like to show you how to start off the right way with MODx by using the MODx Boilerplate from Anselm Hannemann.
The MODx Boilerplate is based on HTML5 Boilerplate developed by Paul Irish and friends.
With the MODx Boilerplate you really get a good start! Check out some of the features:
Cross-browser compatible
HTML5 ready
Optimal caching and compression rules
Best practice site configuration defaults
MODx basic set-up included
1140px CSS Grid included for a flexible layout
