Overall Satisfaction with MODX
MODX was the content management software that my business used for our website. We've since changed to WordPress, but MODX was used for several years before that to custom design and host web pages. It was used by our Marketing and Creative teams and managed by our Development team for the most part.
- Custom design capabilities.
- Works well with plugins.
- Permission systems for users.
- The user interface was confusing at times.
- Not a plug and play CMS system.
- The site manager doesn't always run fast.
- Increased security permissions of the users and freelancers who worked on our website.
- 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.
As said before, MODX is a coder's dream because of the flexibility it provides to own your code and has true creative freedom. Because of that, there is a bigger learning curve when it comes to a non-developer trying to iterate on the CMS with content additions and changes. To that end, WordPress, HubSpot, and Unbounce all incorporate a far more user-friendly approach to website building.
