Support our work creating educational MODX content

To reach the most people, we publish our videos to YouTube for free on a channel that is a long time from being monetized.

Buying a Premium Pass supports our efforts producing educational videos for MODX, and tells us you want to see more like it in the future! As extra benefits, you get access to Premium Pass exclusive videos, and at least one week of early access to new videos before they're published on YouTube.

A Premium Pass is valid for 2 years before it expires.

Price will go up as we publish more videos. Pricing is based on Western Europe/USA; students or countries with lower purchasing power may use coupon code KNOWLEDGE for 35% off.

Premium Pass is for private use only. For public showings (such as at a meetup, or events where people outside of your organization are invited), get in touch. Premium Pass does not renew automatically. Prices may change without notice. We may change which videos are Premium Pass exclusive at any time. We do not guarantee new videos will be released in any given period, but we would like to release a new video every 3-4 weeks.
