There are more than thousands of results when you search over Google “Content Management System” term. When there are so many results how could you know which CMS is best and secure for you? At W3care, we’ve worked with a number of CMS over the years including Magento, Joomla, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, WordPress, Shopify, and the list goes on. But ExpressionEngine is one of our favorite CMS because it is a great option for complex sites.
ExpressionEngine(EE) is a commercial CMS designed and developed by EllisLab. It’s a full-featured, flexible and reliable content management system that gives users the ability to easily manage their websites without the typical coding clutter found in other CMS. If you are going to design & develop your website but not sure about ExpressionEngine Development then hold on, please. So many big brands like Pizza Hut, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Penny Arcade, Getty Images and much more are just a few examples that have trusted on the ExpressionEngine platform to handle their websites. Here are some solid reasons that will make you ready to choose ExpressionEngine for your next CMS:
1. It is Flexible:ExpressionEngine is a fully flexible CMS platform because you can customize your site every step of the way, instead work within a pre-made template as Wordpress does. In ExpressionEngine, you can add as many post types as you want without needing to do any coding or installing a third-party add-on. It does not make any assumptions what type of data you’ll publish and because of this, content possibilities are endless and you can create different content models like “blog posts”, “products”, “team members” etc. ExpressionEngine is also a good choice for developers because it allows you to use any HTML/CSS template you would like.
