WordPress against ExpressionEngine

[magnus_vb]

Hi
Since there are a lot of WP gurus here – should I use WP instead of EE as a CMS? I don’t build blogs, so the “blogging part” of WP seems unnecessary. And the client should do the content updates.

For you who have experience of both – which is the main difference when developing a site? Truth to tell, I’m really like the EE way: create static pages, create the channels and then add some little code to show the channels content.
Like this:

{exp:channel:entries
channel=”services”
limit=”1″
}
(h1){title}(/h1)
{body_text}
{/exp:channel:entries}

How is this done in WP? Similar or do I have to write a lot of PHP (I’m bad at it and don’t like it ;)

Tips and links are welcome :)

Regards, Magnus

I use Kirby as a CMS. I don’t have to deal with databases. For updates, it’s as simple as replacing a folder without having to worry about plugins breaking. Although it does use PHP, I find it much simpler and easier to understand than WordPress, especially custom fields and pulling in content from other pages.

For clients, the Panel is really simple ( really really simple) to use and customize.

@chrsburton,

Kirby, how easy is it to learn ? How much does it cost?
Much obliged.

@PLNR If you don’t mind, create a new topic with all your questions and I’d be glad to answer them.
