Do you have a Modx website but need someone new to help support and maintain it for you? Look no further.
Do you have a Modx website but need someone new to help support and maintain it for you? Look no further. We have been doing this for years! Modx hosting, support and development. We have it covered.
Over recent years, we have had dozens of clients come to us with existing MODX websites who needed support and help. Often their previous web designer was moving on or, on some occasions, the relationship had broken down and the client was left a little stranded.
These website owners then approached us looking for support, guidance or help with future developments, which we have always tried to offer. Some of these clients have been with us for years and we are still supporting their existing websites.
This has not always been easy to do. All websites are built differently and some have a number of unique quirks or customisations that need reverse engineering before we are able to work with them, but we nearly always manage to come up with a positive solution.
We started using MODX over 14 years ago and, as you can imagine, we have built up a wealth of knowledge and experience in that time.
Initially, we fell in love with the flexibility, speed and security that it offered over other content management systems. It also allowed us to build really cool websites and applications for customers in a way that made sense to both us and our clients.
Many people who come to us with existing MODX websites often feel a little intimidated by the CMS. It might not be as familiar to them as something like WordPress or even Wix or Squarespace, but often with a little training and explanation, we can show them the potential and power their site has.
There are not a huge number of MODX developers in the UK
If a website owner’s relationship with their developer breaks down or is no longer viable, this can cause issues. Where do you go? We are not the only UK-based company that uses MODX, but not all would be willing to take on someone else’s website. We can offer support and honest advice to existing MODX website owners.
Taking over a website is not always straightforward. You never quite know what you are about to inherit or how difficult it might be to work with the current code base, but we always try to find a way forward rather than just focusing on the problems. We are pleased to say that there is nearly always something we can do.
We always try to educate and empower our clients so that together we can make good decisions. We give honest advice – when something is not cost effective we will say so – and explain why. We want to build lasting relationships with our clients, and investing time early on pays off with a better understanding of a client’s requirements.
This is an important point to make. With so many options available for CMS-based sites, MODX still has a strong place. Quite often users come to us feeling indifferent about their MODX site. Maybe they find it complicated to edit, or unable to do what they want.
More often than not, this is due to the way it has been set up. A bit of training and guidance can make a huge difference.
MODX is not perfect, but no CMS is. However, in most cases, it remains a strong and reliable option for most websites that need a CMS.
There are several ways we can help support you and your MODX website:
MODX Hosting support
If you need to move away from your existing web designer, you may also need to source new website hosting for your site.
We can supply you with low-cost hosting (suitable for most sites), VPS servers and even dedicated setups if required. We can help with the transfer and set-up of the site on a new server space and support you with the required DNS changes. No problem.
MODX updates and website maintenance
Every website, no matter what software it is built on, needs regular updates and maintenance to ensure it continues to perform well and stays up to date with security patches.
We offer this monthly service on all websites, whether MODX or WordPress.
Future development
No website is ever truly finished. There are often changes, developments and improvements you might want to make to your existing site.
In most cases we are able to take your existing site and develop it further, adding features, new pages, functionality and design changes.
If you have a MODX website that you need help with, then we can nearly always assist. If you feel you might need to bin your current site and start again, it is worth giving us a shout first.
Fresh ideas and some friendly expert advice could be just what you need.
