So now I have another question. I don't have an extremely talented programmer. I am mostly one who can work with the thing as it comes in the box and maybe do some mild tweaking. But I value your opinion, and am sort of at a crossroads. I have a new site to start building, and it could use some nice touches. I've seen some things that I traced down to what seem to be existing ModX plugins, extensions or whatever.
2) When you are on this dog's page, scroll down to the gallery of pictures.
3) Click on one of the pictures, and it opens up with a nice smooth, interesting action.
Other ModX sites I have seen don't seem to look like CMS, either. Yours included, which by the way, is outstanding imho.
So. My question is ... is it reasonable to assume that an old geezer like me might be able to build a site with ModX and working with the existing extensions, actually come up with something reasonably good, or is the extraordinarily talented programmer necessary for even that?
