The MODx CMS is "Open Source" and therefore it's free for the core software. But don't let that fool you, this system is extremely powerful, has a talented on-going development community and the standard functionality can match or exceed the functionality that you would get in an expensive commercial level CMS solution costing £1000's of pounds.
We offer you a simple method of pricing based on the actual hours we spend developing your bespoke website solution for you. Our rates are £60.00 per hour (£480 per day) and we can build a custom CMS solution in as little as two to three days or for larger projects this may be between 5 - 20 days. Overall, as you project is unique the total cost will depend on the complexity of your site, the quality of graphics and design elements you require and if any additional development work will be needed. All said, a typical website CMS project similar to many within our portfolio are between 5 to 10 days work, each developed using the latest XHTML and CSS standards as well as being accessibility compliant and working across all popular browsers.
Besides the fact that the software is free we also make access to our image library available to you. So instead of having to purchase images at typically $70 each you can choose from 300,000 royalty free images. Every image is correctly licenced and when people images are involved include a signed model release so you need never worry about being on the wrong site of a claim (remember, you're responsible for making sure the images on your site are licensed correctly).
We also offer you free non-exclusive web templates as part of our latest service when you have to work to tighter budgets. Choose from 100's of website designs and we will add your logo and re-code to fit Modx CMS using the latest web standards. You can also check out the design choices at templateworld.com (this link opens in new browser window)
We also subscribe annually to a professional legal documents library. This allows us to provide your web and eCommerce documents free of charge, again saving you substantial sums in lawyer's fees to draft these documents. For further information see free legal documents
We can integrate LimeMail, a powerful and flexible eMail marketing solution as part of your CMS project. Because we have developed the integration ourselves we install this FOC and the actual hosted email marketing solution is also free, you simply pay a nominal fee when you send. Email marketing can be a superb way to foster your relationships with customers and can help you increase sales and build brand loyalty.
We offer both shared and dedicated web hosting solutions. With either option if you take advantage of Limesharp Hosting with the development of your website solution we will install these applications without charge, further saving you from set-up fees, testing or future compatibility issues.
