Expression Engine CMS: Reasons to love it!

 

With Expression Engine CMS creating such a ripple in the industry, the definite and obvious question that arises, is what makes it such a popular CMS with the developers. Is it equally workable for big and small websites? What extra features does it provide which makes it a tough competitor for other Content Management Systems like Joomla, WordPress, Drupal and the rest.

 

When it comes to your website, you would definitely want your CMS to do more than just manage and publish contents. You after all want a CMS and not a blogging tool! Let’s see how can Expression Engine help you come up with reasons to have it for your website.

Expression Engine is not free, okay. But which one actually is! If you consider the entire development cost and associated expenditure, I really doubt if you’ll feel the same for other CMS! You need to pay a license charge for EE and renew it annually.

 

The development team is small, but extremely supportive and active. You can get considerable help from their forums or the brilliant documentation of the product, which almost works as a hand guide.

 

You can easily extend and modify the CMS with various plugins and modules. Expression Engine comes with the source code and knowledge in PHP/MySQL will just work fine for you. It also supports HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

 

Expression Engine can be installed in your browser and operated through the control Panel. In fact, according to many, the catch of the system is its amazing control panel. From managing access for other users to managing page templates, you can also customize it according to your projects or clients.

 

EE also has numerous features for security and safety. From IP Banning, anti-spamming tools like white lists and captcha, email banning features to throttling…EE has proved itself excellent in terms of security issues.

 

Despite such flexibility and features, some people do not consider Expression Engine good enough when used for bigger websites, forcing developers to code things in a longer, harder way. Some say WordPress is the best CMS ever. What do you say to it…let me know.
