[edit] History

MODx came into being as the result of a fork of Etomite

[edit] Features

MODx provides a development framework on which to deploy and secure website and web applications. The full segregation of content (plain HTML), appearance (compliant CSS) and functions (PHP, snippets) is one of MODx's strong assets and seems quite unique.

[edit] Usage

[edit] Public Recognition
