"As a developer I can build any website and any plugin with that system."

### Cons

"It's difficult to navigate and alot of people don't even know that MODX exists."

"For comfortable using this CMS you need to choose a good server and hosting. If you choose an improper, unsuitable hosting, you will have serious problems in the near future."

"It will be very difficult for beginners to install, and even more so configure MODX, so if you would like to train your skills, you should start with other systems."
