MODX Revolution is an open-source PHP content management system and application framework for building websites and web applications. It gives developers full control over markup and design while offering a modular, extensible core for custom requirements.

Use cases

• build a multi-language corporate website
• create a personal blog with full design control
• power mobile APIs from a CMS backend
• manage multiple domains from one install
• build a custom web application with a flexible CMS core
• self-host a secure PHP content management system

When to choose

• you need full control over HTML markup and design without CMS restrictions
• you want a PHP CMS that scales from blogs to multi-domain corporate sites
• you need a CMS that can also serve as a custom application framework
• security and flexibility are top priorities

When to avoid

• you want a turnkey blog with minimal setup like WordPress
• your team has no PHP experience
• you need a headless-only CMS with a modern JS ecosystem
• you rely on a large marketplace of off-the-shelf plugins
