ExpressionEngine at SXSW Interactive 2010

by Chris Arnold on April 30, 2010

Content management systems have been long debated in the interactive industry. Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, and ExpressionEngine hold a majority of the votes, and it's easy to see why. Each of these platforms have qualities various designers and developers have come to enjoy.

At SXSW Interactive 2010, the ExpressionEngine community was in full force and, as a strong believers in the EE platform, we found ourselves at all of the ExpressionEngine events. Curiously enough, none of the events focused on the downsides of other platforms, but remained steadfast in the positive aspects that EE brings to the table.

This brought to light the terrific, consistent online community that makes EE users so steadfast in their claims of the (almost!) "perfect" content management system. And, in keeping true to this style of appreciation, some of the best creative minds in the web industry (Happy Cog, among others) discussed, candidly, their intricacies when working with the system.

Having had a few weeks to think back to these presentations, personal conversations, and general observations in the ExpressionEngine community, it's clear that EE is a terrific solution for many clients. Offering the key to content is critical, and EE allows clients to do just that—with ease. We're anxiously awaiting to see the next version of EE take hold in the professional world.
