Thanks Tee - I can code HTML like the back of my hand and know CSS very well - so this is good news to hear the learning curve isn't huge and an existing site can easily be transformed. I read a bit on the Modx site and was glad to see the source code can stay valid (which is a big thing for me). I just might give it a try!

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! tee ************************************************************** Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************** ************************************************************** Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] **************************************************************
