What are the differences?
MODX and Joomla both are open source Content Management Systems (CMS). Open source means that the source code of the CMS is available for everyone. Still, both CMSs are completely different. Find out more about the differences, so you can choose the CMS best suitable for your online goals.
Usability.
The most significant difference between MODX and Joomla is usability. Joomla is comparable with WordPress, but just a little harder to make changes in. Still, every developer and non-developer can make changes in the many themes Joomla offers. These themes do limit the freedom for developers and web designers. That’s why they would prefer MODX.

Joomla: easy to create a new website
Creating a Joomla website is very easy. Making changes to the functionalities of the website could bring you a hard time. Not all extensions are supported by the Joomla version you use.
Security.
Since day one MODX has put security first. A team of the MODX Community checks all the code, detects vulnerabilities and solves these. So you can be sure of a secure MODX website.
Because Joomla is one of the most popular CMSs, it gets hacked regularly. Of course, Joomla still offers plenty of security measures and you can download a document to secure your website.
