MODX

MODX Revolution is an open‑source content management and application framework written in PHP. It enables developers and site owners to build multilingual, multi‑domain corporate sites, personal blogs, or mobile APIs while retaining full control over markup and design. The core is self‑hostable, free to use, and released under GPL‑2.0, offering a stable, extensible platform that can be customized through modules and extensions to meet a wide range of traffic and functional requirements.

The system emphasizes creative freedom, allowing precise control of output without imposing a preset front‑end structure. Integrated caching and a focus on security aim to deliver fast, reliable dynamic websites without unnecessary bloat. Collaboration features such as selective content staging let users preview and publish changes safely, supporting iterative workflows without extensive server‑side expertise.

MODX is supported by an active community and optional managed hosting, ModX Cloud, which provides automated updates, backups, and SSL. Documentation, issue tracking, and contribution pathways are available through GitHub and the project’s community forums.
