Technology
Over the years I've used a lot of different technologies. Below is a list of tried and true technologies that have become my preferred tools in building websites.
XHTML
Extensible HyperText Markup Language forms the basic structure of the content of a webpage.
XHTML 1.1 on W3.org
CSS
Cascading Style Sheets define the layout and style of the XHTML markup.
CSS 2.1 on W3.org
PHP
PHP is the server-side programming language that makes a website dynamic. Without PHP or a similar server-side language, every element of a website would have to be handled manually.
PHP.net
JavaScript
JavaScript is the client-side programming language that makes a webpage more fluid and interactive.
MySQL
MySQL (Simple Query Language) is the database that holds all of the content and information of a dynamic website.

MODx
MODx is a content management system that combines all of the technologies above to provide an out-of-the-box website management system.
