Trainer Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great SEO it this CMS" August 24, 2019 5.0 Pros Unlike many other platforms that I used before, this SEO module is initially connected. In addition, I really like the templates, which are highly customizable according to personal needs. Cons Without programming skills, it was very difficult to fully configure the system, and I needed the help of specialists. There is no statistics in the account. Review Source AM Akina M. Accountant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and simple CMS" February 19, 2018 5.0 Pros Free engine, great for creating websites services. The work is quite simple, thanks to chunks allows you to easily and quickly change the site templates. Clear visual editor. Friendly with SEO. Cons The system is not quite suitable for working with online stores (there is no suitable functionality); To work with a large site with a complex structure will be extremely inconvenient. Review Source RK Rajana K. Copywriter Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Interesting CMS for sites with services" April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Excellent CMS for companies that provide services. As the online store MODX has not seen, so I can not say anything. ModX is very handy, although it's not possible to quickly install a template that has been downloaded from the Internet. MODX is more suitable for those who have at least a minimal knowledge of HTML, CSS, preferably PHP. Cons Despite the fact that there is not much information on the Internet for installing and configuring the system, I was able to independently understand and even make a self-updating sitemap.xml. Review Source NO Nataly O. Chief Accountant Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good platform for different sites" April 22, 2019 5.0 Pros In this system, it is easy to add blog or online store features to the landing page of a website. Due to its high flexibility, our employees develop portals of varying complexity. Best for SEO. Cons \- For full use, you must have programming skills. - No functionality for importing and exporting files. - Small number of built-in templates. Review Source NC Natalia C. Human Resources Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Modern and affordable platform" December 6, 2018 4.0 Pros Very modern solution, both for individual use and for the company. The openness of the code allows you to create not only sites, but all the necessary applications. Excellent module for SEO-promotion, which allows you to customize settings. I really liked the app. Cons It is not very convenient that the application has a small list of ready-made templates. Some other free CMS have a lot more. It is not always easy to find the answer to an interesting question, because there is not too much documentation on the application. Review Source AM Alisa M. Support manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Focused on services" February 24, 2018 5.0 Pros I recommend this system to all entrepreneurs who have focused their business in the provision of services. For such purposes, the system has many suitable templates and has a wide toolkit, which is sharpened precisely for commerce. Cons This system can be recommended only for business. Under a multi-page it will not work. I would like more templates freely available. Review Source AN Aura N. SMM-manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Designed for advertising services" February 27, 2018 4.0 Pros If you, like I once, just start your small business, based on the provision of some services, it is worth paying attention to this engine. It provides the widest choice of possibilities for this. Starting from thematic templates and ending with search engine optimization. Cons System is originally sharpened just under the scope of services. Do on this engine a multi-page information project can only be solved by a masochist. There are simpler and more functional solutions for this. Review Source RK Roman K. ASP.NET developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A simple platform for creating websites" December 7, 2018 4.0 Pros We use the MODX platform when creating small sites consisting of 3-4 pages. The main advantage of the projects created on this CMS is high performance, which ensures fast loading of the site. Additional modules are supported to extend the basic functionality. Cons Among the shortcomings of CMS MODX, I want to point out the minimal set of templates for websites and the lack of a full-fledged visual page editor. Because of this, almost all projects come out similar to each other. Review Source PZ Peter Z. Senior Accountant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent CMS, I recommend!" February 9, 2018 5.0 Pros This is a flexible and convenient control system. At first many of our sites were on other CMS, they slowed down a bit, some changes on the site were accompanied by problems. Once we moved these sites to MODX, everything became easy and simple. Cons Without shortcomings Modx also does not do. They are not so critical, but they make you think about it before installing this CMS on the server. The main disadvantage is a small number of ready-made templates. Review Source VM Volovumur M. AquaFitness Trainer Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Modern platform for sites" December 22, 2018 5.0 Pros With the help of CMS MODX, our specialists were able to quite easily create an excellent website, and thanks to the open source code they were able to develop and put all the required extensions on it to increase the functionality. Cons To fully interact with the platform, it took some time to study its specific terminology. Quite a limited number of built-in templates. Review Source RM Rania M. SEO-assistant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for not too complex site" February 14, 2018 4.0 Pros If you intend to make a not very complex site for yourself or a customer, MODX will do the best for it. This system has a simple design and functionality, which will help not to complicate the task to yourself and the customer. Cons In order to understand how to call snippets and create templates with the help of chunks, the average user will need a lot of time and effort. Review Source RS Rebecca S. Senior Vice President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flexible CMS" December 31, 2018 4.0 Pros In MODX, employees of our company can fully control the templates, and also receive many functions without the use of hundreds of add-ons, which, if necessary, increase the available functionality. Cons For advanced features, you need to know php. Your account has no statistics details. You can not connect popular payment systems and create a full-fledged web store. Review Source DT Djohn T. SEO-analyst Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Secure modern CMS" February 15, 2018 5.0 Pros When installing MODx Revolution (Advanced package), you can rename the entire folder structure, even access to the administrative panel, and as a result, it is much more difficult for a potential cracker to determine what kind of system it is. Also in the administrative panel itself there are many security settings. Cons The admin panel in MODX is not flexible at all. Yes, it is quite convenient, but it is not very easy to work with it. Review Source LV Lilia V. Support Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good CMS, it's strange that so few sites work under its management" January 29, 2018 4.0 Pros To the advantages of CMS MODX, I can safely attribute a simple and intuitive interface, a well thought-out SEO module (optimization is now very important), as well as low hosting requirements. Cons The tags have their own syntax, which in the beginning of working with the control system seems complicated. In practice, it becomes clear that this approach allows you to leave the template code clean and understandable, unlike other Open Source CMS.
