Dynamicweb vs. MODX

For small/medium organizations where non-professionals should work with the system in everyday situations, Dynamic Web is a good solutions. Works well on Mobile. Not very complicated to add new shops/add new countries to the solution. I have never used the headless functionalities but they should be well working, as I have heard. it should be very easy to implement with Business Central, but I have seen it being more complicated than expected.

[MODX is well suited for] all websites, from blogs to corporate sites. It is fast scalable and really good. A small site can be build really fast, and a large site can be made extremely scalable. A website redesign is easy to implement with a new template, without having to redo the content. It got great user groups and users and back-office access can be completely customized.

While ecommerce is possible with some really good plugins I would only use MODX with ecommerce for sites where ecommerce is not the primary role. For pure ecommerce sites rather use a dedicated system like e.g. PrestaShop (i would say the same thing with other ecommerce plugins e.g. WP woo commerce don't do it unless its a site add on.)

• All-in-one setup makes it easy for a small/medium organization to get an easy and fast go to market
• Good overview of progress of product enrichment with the built-in dashboard
• Easy enrichment both in the PIM and with upload of data in excel-sheet

• Ease of use - the MODX platform is very easy to use for someone who may have limited experience in content management.
• Content blocks - the content blocks within MODX add to the usability and customization of the website being managed.

Incentivized

• Design templates and way to build pages are not very intuitive and lack ease of use for non-professionals
• Layout of Dynamic Web sites are not the most sexy. But they work!

Incentivized

• The user interface was confusing at times.
• Not a plug and play CMS system.
• The site manager doesn't always run fast.

It is the CMS we use the most, not because we know it well but because we literally tried many of other CMS and this one did it for us.

However having said we really do not like the one shoe fits all approach. E..g for eCommerce we usually use PrestaShop etc. if a specialized CMS can do a task rather use that.

However for a general CMS [MODX] is hard to beat.

Great and easy to use for both the coder and the end user. Especially if setup correctly by the coder.

We have not had it go down due to bugs etc. especially when comparing it to other cms out there.

Damn its fast. really good page speed out of the box.

Great community support on slack.

If you have a paid plugin great support also esp from modmore

If you have cloud hosting MODX support is fast and all servers are optimized for MODX

Good system

Easy to use for smaller organization and a pro-active agenzy.

The other company that we looked into was WordPress and all of the features that it offered our organization. What MODX offered to us from development to everyday use just made more sense for our organization as a whole. WordPress is still a great CMS platform, just not exactly what we were looking for.

Very scalable. e.g. in the [MODX] manager you can manage multiple websites at once without having to login else where. it is very convenient and this way resources and be easily managed and shared.

• Made selling online very easy

• Gave our developers the ability to create any page that they wanted with custom code.
• Hindered our Marketing team's ability to stay on top of our content strategy with changes.
