The Applicable Alphabet Soup (What is MODX)

MODX is a content management platform, equal parts PHP application framework and Content Management System (CMS).

MODX excels at Web Content Management (WCM) and Content Management Framework (CMF) duties.

Our History in Brief

Born out of the frustration of working with tools that restricted design choices or that were difficult to use, MODX was built as a solution for the needs to help us build better solutions for our clients:

Provide a simple template system that can incorporate standards-based (X)HTML/CSS and not inhibit design in any way,
Help users quickly build login-protected site content,
Create a sensible, robust and extendable API,
Should organize content in a logical and understandable manner,
Avoid the tortuous or extended learning curves found in many other CMSes, and
Work equally as well for a simple marketing website and for more complex applications.
