Elementor vs. MODX

I would recommend this for the ease of use and price. It is a good value for any website developer or designer to be able to create multiple websites a year with super simple coding. If you've got a way to speed up your website without using WP Rocket, then it's even better! I think this software is specifically made for someone with a coding background and would recommend that you have a background with Wordpress to make using this software even easier

In my opinion, MODX is usually the choice of a developer who wants to build out custom designs that create really interesting web pages, but when it comes to being easily used and edited by your marketing team, you can run into a lot of issues and end up making simple changes a more involved process.

• Theme builder (header, footer, site parts)
• Forms, with options for what to do with form submissions after they've been submitted (email, collect , push to EMS)
• Easy to use widgets for things that would otherwise need coding manually (sliders, carousels, flip boxes etc.)
• Pre-built templates
• Dynamic conditions for content display

Incentivized

• Custom design capabilities.
• Works well with plugins.
• Permission systems for users.

• Could definitely use an AI bot for ad-hoc customer queries
• Very limited Wdgets available in free version - If you have complex pages, go pro
• Ensure robust internet speed (50 MBPS bare minimum) to be able to operate it. Below 8 GB RAM is not advised

Incentivized

• Content Blocks - I mentioned this as a strength, but it also has its quirks. There are times that things do not function properly within the content blocks we have set up.
• More Customization - The ability for the average user to customize more without having to know a ton of code.

Elementor is critical to our ongoing success and providing our clients with world-class websites

It is the CMS we use the most, not because we know it well but because we literally tried many of other CMS and this one did it for us.

However having said we really do not like the one shoe fits all approach. E..g for eCommerce we usually use PrestaShop etc. if a specialized CMS can do a task rather use that.

However for a general CMS [MODX] is hard to beat.

Elementor is one of those website builders that is really easy to get started with. The drag and drop features make it easy to create attractive and creative webpages for even the non-website designer. Some of the features available are not easy to find or easy to discover when you first start using Elementor. Practice makes perfect.

Great and easy to use for both the coder and the end user. Especially if setup correctly by the coder.

We have not had it go down due to bugs etc. especially when comparing it to other cms out there.

Damn its fast. really good page speed out of the box.

There support is slow and at times can be frustrating and this is why many prefer to air out their frustrations within the Facebook group community. I tend to give up as when I'm working on something and something goes wrong I need the help straight away. I do not have the patience to wait anymore.

Great community support on slack.

If you have a paid plugin great support also esp from modmore

If you have cloud hosting MODX support is fast and all servers are optimized for MODX

The business team has to stick to its core competencies - Our key turning point occured when we delegated webpage design challenges to a tech. firm with specific mandates (including a certain degree of internal control). Once the initial go-live was completed, the agency trained us on internalizing ad-hoc and tactical change work

Good system

Compared to other providers, Elementor can be easy to use and learn, allowing you to build professional websites in a fraction of the time it takes to build websites with other sites. The AI feature can help non-tech people to easily understand and build a website that is SEO and Google search compliant.

The other company that we looked into was WordPress and all of the features that it offered our organization. What MODX offered to us from development to everyday use just made more sense for our organization as a whole. WordPress is still a great CMS platform, just not exactly what we were looking for.

Very scalable. e.g. in the [MODX] manager you can manage multiple websites at once without having to login else where. it is very convenient and this way resources and be easily managed and shared.

• Our sales have really grown over the past five years of using Elementor. We went from fulfilling less than five orders a month to now 10-15 per months. And we are a small bulk food store with a small audience.
• We have been able to add plug ins along with Elementor to customize our products, store, and pages.
• We haven't done as much with SEO and Elementor. I feel like this is one area that we could probably do better.

Incentivized

• The positive impact that MODX has had on our organization is that it has allowed us to generate more organic traffic to our site.
• We are also able to push more paid advertisements to our site on our lead generation landing pages.
