carrimak -> "Expression Engine" and Front page??? (12/16/2005 14:03:05)
Greetings all; I have just run into a product called "Expression Engine" which seems to be PHP based, and allows creation of all kinds of websites; not just blogs. It looks good! So what I am curious about....since I have been using Front Page for lo these many years...since it came out; and have loved Front Page...is Have any of you used it? What do you know about it? What are the pros/cons compared to a Front Page site? What else should I think about before trying one of my FP sites; converting to Expression Engine, as a trial? Click here to go to the Expression Engine Website..... Thank you!! Carrimak

Looks interesting - obviously for different purposes though. There would be a bit of a learning curve to adjust to the design / code reuirements of the php pages, but it could be useful as a cms

Thanks Spooky... I signed up for the $10.00 for one month trial and it does seem as though it would be useful as a CMS...do the design (templates, CSS, etc) in Front Page or otherplace, then convert to the EE "templates" (their word for pages) and basically, it turns into a very nice looking website that can then be edited as a CMS web. Looks like you can eliminate all of the "blogging" stuff so it doesn't show....and just do a straighforward web, but with a lot of nice features...listed as modules and then.....access and edit from any web browser. Of course it needs to be on a PHP-enabled server. And you probably wouldn't use the Front page tools; but they seem to have a bunch of their own. So I will explore further. Carrimak
