ExpressionEngine Goes Open Source And Is Now FREE!!

10 years ago there were only a handful of great CMS platforms. These days, there are 500+. We curently live in a saturated swamp of CMS platforms. Today, there are probably five (5) that we as a business will support.

Out of those five (5), only one reigns surpreme and that CMS of choice is ExpressionEngine from our friends at EllisLabs.

This morning at #EECONF2018 Rick Ellis of Ellis Labs annouced that starting November 1st, 2018, ExpressionEngine will be Open Source.
