Overall Satisfaction
We have used ExpressionEngine as a low cost solution for small websites. As a freelance developer, it is my go-to tool for CMS's due to its small size and compatibility with my server.
- Entries - Sites with multiple entries for data work very well.
- Works with your code - you don't need to have a bloated install and a pre-built setup to make EE work with your code.
- Easy to setup the architecture as you wish
- Hard to use for social sites where users create their own pages and content
- Rich text CMS doesn't play well with dropping images in like wordpress or umbraco
- godaddy hates it, but i hate godaddy, so that's ok.
- Easy for me to support
- Large community of users and paid staff to help with any issues
- Hard to push the limits of this CMS
- WordPress,Drupal,umbraco
EE has a very basic setup, where as wordpress and drupal, you're working to fit your design in the structure, EE lets you fit the CMS in your design.
