ExpressionEngine is a content management system from EllisLab in 2002, a successor to pMachine Pro, a blogging system, which is written in object-oriented PHP and uses MySQL for data storage. ExpressionEngine is their flagship Content Delivery Platform.
We do use WordPress for very small, simple websites. However, we dislike WordPress' approach to having content types (pages and posts) and themes running at install. We have to "override" the WordPress assumptions about the website, which is time-consuming. We also find that …
EE offers a much more flexible experience content experience while still keeping the content intact. Other CMSs have really become more "page builders", which is great to start but does not scale in either speed or functionality. EE, though rigid in the content structure, gives …
ExpressionEngine is just as dynamic, if not more so than the other CMS tools that I've worked with in the past. From my experience, It's been easier to customize the templates and content containers. This advantage makes a world of difference when trying to design a landing …
While everybody loves WordPress because it's cheap, fast, and ubiquitous, we prefer ExpressionEngine for its flexibility, security, and open approach to content structure.
I feel ExpressionEngine is on par with the major CMS systems, WordPress, Drupal, and Craft. It's used by many companies exclusively and is trustworthy. Lately, I've been building more sites with WordPress and still prefer how ExpressionEngine handles certain aspects, such as …
Systems presented to us by our integration partner were comparatively quite expensive, required a different infrastructure than currently in place, as well as different technology skills that were not currently present in house. With ExpressionEngine we were able to have a …
In the right environment, a good amount of time, and for long-term use to grow in to, ExpressEngine is a great choice. Especially for large, growing businesses. Comparing this to WordPress, ExpressEngine is more of a long term solution than a quick, easy CMS setup that relies …
I chose ExpressionEngine because my client had already purchased a license. I typically build sites with WordPress. I find their toolset to be easier to develop for and the community boasts more users. The cost of the platform is obviously free without much difference in what …
For functionality and flexibility, ExpressionEngine content management system software is a versatile option for operations large and small. It has obviously extended its reach to many professional websites, which is evidenced on the front page of their product site. It may …
WordPress has millions of users. Millions! It also has thousands of plugins and add-ons, both free and premium, an easy, automatic updating system, and a user-friendly control panel. It also has numerous installable themes that can fit a wide variety of website needs, from the …
Before finding ExpressionEngine, I'd always been frustrated by the shoddy, convoluted front-end code created by other content manage systems or their plugins. ExpressionEngine does a fantastic job in separating the content from the code, allowing you to build custom templates …
ExpressionEngine vs. WordPress - This is a no brainer. ExpressionEngine provides way more control over page fields and a better way to manage URLs and website taxonomy. ExpressionEngine vs. Craft - Craft is very comparable to ExpressionEngine. It is newer, so the variety of …
ExpressionEngine outweighs most all of its competitors by being so flexible. If you can imagine it, then you can build it with EE (ExpressionEngine). Most competitors lock you in with certain ways to build your website or use only their tools; ExpresionEngine gives you the …
I have only evaluated these products. They all are very strong in their own ways (some may be stronger than ExpressionEngine) but I simply haven't had time to learn them in more detail.
ExpressionEngine is vastly more flexible than any other content management system I have used to date and the quality of the add-ons are significantly higher than what you find in other directories. The ExpressionEngine community is also very willing and helpful with if you …
Again, for most of our customers' projects, ExpressionEngine is a great solution due to its flexibility, extensibility, and ease of use. We rarely come up against a situation for which EE is not a suitable solution.
We tend to prefer WordPress over ExpressionEngine, primarily for ease of set up out of the box. ExpressionEngine has its strengths, but for our company, this isn't our first choice.
I've used WordPress for much smaller sites with a very limited budget and fast turn-around time. WordPress does well at installing, adding a theme, minor customizations and launch in a very fast timeframe. This can all be realistically done in a single sitting. ExpressionEngine …
We do use other services too. WordPress is another great option that we use frequently, but ExpressionEngine is great for more complex designs and dev features.
ExpressionEngine was selected prior to my hiring. We are likely switching from ExpresionEngine to WordPress or Drupal in the near future to save money on custom modules.
