ExpressionEngine CMS

ExpressionEngine, created by Ellis Labs, is a commercial Content Management System (CMS) based upon an Open Source foundation. With its Open Source foundation, ExpressionEngine's codebase is 100% open, transparent, and extensible.

The core of ExpressionEngine is built on CodeIgniter, the Open Source PHP framework, which is used by hundreds of thousands of PHP developers across the world. CodeIgniter has become the application framework of choice for many PHP developers throughout the world.
