"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!!

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.
