ExpressionEngine Development by Expert EE Developers
The Problem
You have an ExpressionEngine website but your EE developer has either gone rogue, decided to become a stand up comic, doesn’t work with EE anymore, or completely unreliable. You’ve made a significant investment in your website and you need a team that knows EE inside and out.
Our Solution
We are expert ExpressionEngine developers. We’ve been using EE since the 1.0 release (like 18 years ago!) and we were one of the first members of the EE Pro Network. We’ve built over 500 EE sites and we use EE almost every day.
ExpressionEngine Upgrades – Now is the time!
ExpressionEngine 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are now legacy products.
This means that they are no longer receiving any updates.
If your site has not been updated to EE6 yet, there is no time to delay.
What are the selling points of upgrading to a newer version of ExpressionEngine?
Upgrading to a newer version of ExpressionEngine offers several compelling selling points. Firstly, if your website is currently running ExpressionEngine 5 or less, it is very likely operating on an outdated version of PHP. However, with a successful upgrade, you will be able to run your site on a server with the latest version of PHP. This not only enhances the speed and performance of your website, but it also provides an opportunity to switch to a smaller server plan, resulting in potential monthly cost savings.
ExpressionEngine prides itself on being one of the most secure content management systems (CMS) available. The ExpressionEngine team promptly addresses and patches any identified security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to keep the CMS updated by upgrading to newer releases, ensuring that your website remains secure and protected.
A noteworthy advantage of upgrading to a newer version is the introduction of new features. Recent updates have brought about significant enhancements such as native Grid and Relationship Fieldtypes. These additions provide users with more advanced content creation capabilities within the CMS. Additionally, the inclusion of the Fluid Fieldtype offers increased flexibility, while the improved Live Preview feature enhances the overall user experience.
One particularly aspect of the lastest version of ExpressionEngine is its long-term support. This means that for a duration of five years, updates to ExpressionEngine will not introduce any changes that could potentially break your website. As a result, performing updates becomes a hassle-free process, ensuring that your website remains up-to-date without any disruptions.
Upgrading to a newer version of ExpressionEngine include the ability to utilize a more advanced and secure CMS, taking advantage of new features for enhanced content creation, long-term support without site-breaking changes, and potentially reducing hosting costs through improved PHP compatibility.

EMTWO took our old EE site and performed a code review audit which found numerous issues. They fixed all of them and then upgraded us to EE3. Our site is now 8x times faster and ranking higher in Google. I didn’t think that was possible.

ExpressionEngine website?
