I'm exploring using a CMS system for a couple of clients but have
not ventured into that realm yet.
How difficult is it to transform an already built site into the
Modx - or do I have to start from
scratch?

Hi Sue, question: how proficient your CSS and HTML knowledge are?
For the first Modx site I did, first I got it done in Dreamweaver
because I wasn't sure if I wanted to move to a CMS. It's a fairly
simple site consists of 10 pages, later I decided I want to expand
the site, adding new features etc and decided to give Modx a try
after spending a bit of time on its wiki and forum.
It took me about 2 hours from installation and migration, I do have
an advantage though, I did two sites in Etomite CMS before, and Modx
core code is based on Etomite.
Modx is so flexible, powerful with the use of its core snippets such
as Ditto, Wayfinder (a menu snippet) or the combination of other
snippets with these two that it can be double-edge sword that one can
get lost easily if one without a bit of PHP knowledge - this is
what's happening to me. After two sites I am still a newbie and quite
many concepts I still don't get thus can't use it effectively, but I
am improving everyday :)
Hope this helps!
