MODX can beat up your content management system

Tonight’s Milwaukee Web Design Meetup featured a CMS MegaPanel - eight pros in eight content management systems, head to head on development, features, ecosystems, costs. I represented for MODX.

Here is my Prezi1 on MODX:2

Sorry, Flash is required here. I don’t like it either, and I know I really need to learn a different presentation system.


  1. Prezi’s are zooming presentations. I like the effect, and they’re clearly still rare enough that they get just a little extra boost from the audience. But they require Flash (booo!) and I apologize for that.  

  2. MODX is a relatively light-weight (as in fast, not wimpy) Content Management System and Application Framework. So far I haven’t come across anything I couldn’t build in MODX, though I increasingly find myself yearning for more Python (Flask, mostly, some Django) and Javascript (MongoDB, Node.js, even Sammy.js). But they aren’t content management systems.  

The proverbial call to action.

I do this stuff for a living. If my posts help you out, cool beans. Glad to hear it. If they almost help you out, or you think they should help you out but you're just not sure how to make that happen, you can always get in touch with me. Maybe I can wave my magic wand. Maybe I can throw some back muscle into it. Whatever.

You can comment below. Or tweet at me. Or go straight to the hire me page. I promise I can help, even if it's just narrowing down by one the universe of people you could ask for help.
