I am a big fan of the MODX content management system. I used to use Etomite until I saw it’s MODX fork. I liked what I saw and I never looked back. I have produced some really great sites with MODX and I would thoroughly recommend it for any small to medium web site.
I cannot give MODX a big enough wrap.
So I was thinking after releasing my latest MODX site that I have never seen anyone offering high quality training for MODX users. There is a simple explanation for this (and almost every other CMS really):
every implementation is unique.
Any great product can become a dog if implemented poorly. This is the sad truth. So through my association with wwwtraining, I have encouraged the development of a MODX editor course:
Editing your MODX site, a course with features like:
- creating and editing pages
- editing values and parameters
- simple tips to make your site run faster
- how to enable MODX SEO features
- creating users
- and just about anything else MODX can do!
wwwtraining can customise training for you and even offer tips to improve a poor implementation if you want it.
BTW – I am also a big fan of Infoglue but that is my preferred Open Source CMS for enterprise grade clients. I have a number of government clients using it.

[...] I have spoken of MODX before and how much I like it. I have produced a serious number of MODX sites, from fully compliant government sites to tourist bodies, accredited training agencies, brochure sites and all of the way to online shops. I don’t think there is a site type I have not produced with MODX (but remember MODX is not an enterprise tool, it is great for small to medium sites as it does not support all of the features you may expect from products like Infoglue).

Hi Andrew,
We are looking for a reputable modX developer in Australia, to take over management of our existing modX client websites, and also refer new modX work to.
Can you recommend anyone?
