Is MODX right for manufacturers?

MODX is a developer-oriented open-source PHP CMS. Flexible and template-free by design, built for teams that hand-construct a site's structure rather than work inside a fixed system. It never had WordPress's reach, but it holds a small, loyal following among the developers who choose it.

Who Chooses It

MODX powers 32 of the 25,000+ industrial websites we track, ranking 28th of 60 platforms, with a typical site size of around 65 pages.

In our index MODX skews hard toward metal, and it carries several times the share of primary metal producers you'd expect from the field at large. The typical adopter is a product-focused manufacturer running a modest, single-language site – with OEMs and parts makers together making up more than 8 in 10. For a self-hosted platform, MODX sites are notably well-tended. Not one in our index carries a failing security grade, and every site enforces HTTPS, typically the signature of a CMS picked deliberately by a developer, not inherited by default.
