Getting Help with MODx

We provide the very creative custom development and support for php web sites. Let us know your needs / ideas / questions: contact us, request a quote for template / custom developments. 

There's an old maxim in procuring programming. You can either have quality, speed, or cost, but not all three. We try to incorporate all the three aspects while working with clients.  In a 'normal' market choice between two coders - one who knows the API and one who doesn't - the client would go for the one with the API skills. As that dev is now in demand (compared to the other dev). The 'art' in business, is for the API developer to charge at such a rate that they remain competitive against the PHP dev over time - eg charging 10% (relative to the PHP dev) for developing 50% faster.

Although, our and modx support team strives to constantly add to and refine the documentation to help you get up to speed with MODx and get back to us if you are stuck or need something extraordinary | not common | not usual | innovative. Here you can give it a try:
