Hello,

I did not see a pre-sales forum to ask this question. I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask the following:

What is the differences between CMS Builder and ExpressionEngine?

We have been evaluating several CMS for a client project. We have narrowed down our selection to ExpressionEngine, but earlier today as an Interactive Tools subscriber we received an email about CMS Builder. I am hoping someone on the Interactive Tools development team knows something about ExpressionEngine. I am still limited on my knowledge of ExpressionEngine, but I can tell you that I have trail version configured and it appears that we will be able to meet or exceed all the client's expectations on this upcoming project.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Ed,

We have a few converts from Expression Engine from time to time. We do our own consulting where we set up Content Management Systems for clients and the biggest factor for us is development speed. So CMS Builder is optimized to be quick to setup compared to other solutions.

Even compared to our earlier software we've cut the time it takes us to build a site in half. Once up to speed developers can often do a basic site in just a couple hours. We actually had a newsletter piece a while back where Ross did just that as a demo while learning CMSB. It can take some time to get familiar with the system though.

In any case, if you want to play it safe you could order a copy of CMS Builder and have one of your developers give it a test run. If it's a better fit you'll save time, and if it's not you have 90 days to get a refund (http://www.interactivetools.com/about/satisfaction_guarantee.html).

Hope that helps!
