MODX gives you all the tools you need to build and host what you want, your way, without the bloat of traditional CMS and cloud hosting solutions.
MODX is built to empower fully custom content management, functionality, and presentation.
Resources are the accessible pages, documents, and links you create in MODX.
Content Types
Create any type of content: blogs, landing pages, catalogs, forms, PDFs, dynamically generated CSV downloads, you name it!
Custom Fields
Empower publishers to customize with any number of custom input fields. From metadata, to page styling, to any on-page content.
Resource Management
Manage Resources (and URLs) in one intuitive tree menu. Share assets across 100s of sites in one single MODX installation.
Elements are reusable code (Templates, Chunks, Snippets) used to render a page
Templates
Define the content type, custom fields, and all the other Elements that make up the look, substance, and function of a Resource.
Chunks
Templatize repeating HTML (navbar, footer, preview items, etc.) to save time building and updating Resources sitewide
Snippets & Plugins
Add functionality and logic to aggregate content and power your site. Trigger actions based on any front or back end event.
Extras are community-made Elements, extensions, and integrations for MODX
There’s an Extra for That
From menus to maps, e-commerce to oAuth, integrations, and more, you can find a solution already created by the community.
Flexible Without Bloat
Unlike other CMS extensions, Extras are built to be unassuming and lightweight. Easily customize Extras anyway you wish.
Build Your Own Solutions
Create your own Extras right within MODX. Using the API, integrate with the Manager UI to make it fully your own.
Customize everything about how content is accessed, managed, and presented.
Customizable Manager

Absolute Content Control
Allow any kind of custom content inputs, and have complete control over how that content is transformed and presented.
Fine-Grained Permissions
Attribute-based access controls allow you to handle any content protection or access scenario you can imagine.
