I hate them! (even though I have one on my site) I think people want them just because everyone else has them so they think that is the thing to do. I will get rid of mine when I finally build up the courage. And if I ever do do another, what Edge ^ says above, use an ajax call to load...

Well most hosts will do reseller accounts where you can set up separate cPanels for each client. But I'm guessing you want the competitions based off one site where you have different clients? You could build a simple front end to the db for each client that just lists the data and have delete...

They'd also be able to get up to all sorts of other mischief with cPanel access like installing software, deleting database tables, deleting databases, deleting their own website ( I wouldn't put it past them). But I guess it depends on how much experience they have. MODX cloud hosting gives...

cPanel for each client sounds like overkill to me. Won't they just want to download a list of people who sign up to their competitions, or is there more to it than that? Mike

An external file can be included on any page so is better than embedding the same code on every page. It saves repetition and file size. It makes sense, yes like css files. Javascript that goes on the page should just be specific to that page. If you have javascript include files in the header...

It would be possible to custom code the image uploading and viewing part in MODx and use Foxycart for the ecommerce side.

Yes it's possible in modx to use techniques other than captcha. Look at extras Formit or SPForm.

I'd say min and max widths do have their place if you want your site to be responsive. Remember more and more people are accessing sites with tablets and phones as well as desktops. If you want a site to be user friendly across as many devices as possible you need to look into css media queries...

There is a new ecommerce plugin for modx, but I must admit I've not used it, so can't vouch for how good it is, or how easy it is to implement.

I wrote a blog article about using Flexibility which is a plugin for MODx that uses Zurb's Foundation (3.2)

If by break points you mean css media query rules, yes I think so, though I have not done it. It would have to be just a series of floated, equal width elements that stack into columns as the page narrows. It would limit the possibilities you have on the page design/layout though. It begs the...

Also, if you run into any difficulties, the people on the MODx forums are very helpful.

Good for you :-) It's well worth letting people (like bigdave's employer) know that MODx makes it really easy to change designs without getting bogged down in php.

You might look at other content management systems that separate the layout from the programming language. My vote would go to MODx

What do you think of these?
