Here are two sites I have recently redesigned and deployed using MODx:

Nitron Advisors, LLC
Circle of Experts

The CMS made it a breeze to separate all the content from the layout, manage the dynamic menus, convert large forms built with a commercial web development tool, and seamlessly deploy the new sites with no downtime, just to name a few of the things I love about MODx. We’ll be tackling their extranet applications next, and once again, I’m excited to be developing sites because of the web content management revolution started by Etomite, and to be continued with MODx.

I don’t think I’ve been this excited since I first learned JSP.

After a few days of late night collaboration with co-founder Ryan Thrash and the rest of the MODx team, we unveiled the new MODx CMS Support web site, featuring documentation, features, a roadmap of the future, community forums, and even a bug tracker. It has been well received so far and as we continue to implement additional content and features, it promises to be not only a great support site for a wonderful content management system, but an excellent case study of the power and simplicity of MODx itself.

For the look and feel we utilized a WordPress theme called Green Merinee by Ian Main (an entry from Alex King’s WP theme contest), converting it to a MODx template in a matter of minutes. We set-up the site structure, some snippets for navigation, and a few more templates to aid in the entry of MODx user and developer API documentation, then set the documentation team loose. A contact snippet, a search snippet, some searching, selection, and a quick wrapper around a bug tracker (we chose FlySpray for it’s simplicity and well authored markup), some nice images from iStockPhoto.com, and a few CSS additions and tweaks later, we have a ourselves a respectable support site.

Come by and visit.
