The question is why. At first glance, they have many things in common. Both are robust Open Source CMS systems capable of creating small business and content-heavy sites, up to highly complex eCommerce sites. Both allow website administrators to create and modify their websites without using code. And both have strong security features. But there are critical differences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is WordPress or ExpressionEngine Better?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to popularity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ladybugz.com\/why-wordpress-is-the-best-platform-for-your-enterprise-level-website\/\">WordPress wins hands down<\/a>, accounting for more than<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3care.com\/blog\/expressionengine-vs-wordpress-which-one-is-better#:~:text=According%20to%20W3Techs%20survey%2C%20WordPress,and%200.2%25%20of%20all%20websites.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 59.8%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of all CMS websites. ExpressionEngine accounts for only 0.3 percent of CMS websites (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3care.com\/blog\/expressionengine-vs-wordpress-which-one-is-better#:~:text=According%20to%20W3Techs%20survey%2C%20WordPress,and%200.2%25%20of%20all%20websites.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">W3Tech Survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0 But that\u2019s not to say ExpressionEngine doesn\u2019t have its champions. It\u2019s not a matter of which is better, but how they are different.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As just a few examples, many developers appreciate that ExpressionEngine enables them to apply stronger user management and security features, syndicate and display content from other sites using RSS feeds, and use plug-ins for dynamic data pulls that compile information from multiple sources into a single page or post. Other developers gravitate toward WordPress because of its rich library of highly customizable themes, more than<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 60,000 plugins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to extend features and capabilities, user-friendly interface for managing navigation, and drag-and-drop page builders. Many, many more features come into play when picking a \u201cfavorite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The following factors and considerations below are a good place to start.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four Major Factors When Comparing ExpressionEngine vs WordPress<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is ExpressionEngine like WordPress\u2014and how is it different? Four of the most basic ways to break down ExpressionEngine vs Word are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ease of Use<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a broad comparison, WordPress is considered easier to learn and requires less technical know-how than ExpressionEngine. Why? WordPress focuses on pre-built template-driven design that makes creating and managing a site\u2019s content, SEO, theme, templates, and so on relatively easy, even for largely non-technical users. At the same time, it still provides everything needed to build large, dynamic, feature-rich sites\u2014including large eCommerce sites such as Walmart, Etsy, and IKEA. ExpressionEngine typically requires greater expertise to leverage its full capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas most people would say WordPress wins on ease of use, ExpressionEngine is all about freedom and flexibility for content, design, and functionality. Developers don\u2019t have the constraints of sticking to WordPress PHP, code, and add-ons. While ExpressionEngine may require a little more effort, it also provides the ultimate control, where an experienced developer can create a unique website template, building it exactly how they want it to look and function with ExpressionEngine. Still, developers may sometimes miss all the ready-to-use templates and add-ons that make WordPress so appealing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updates and Security<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ladybugz.com\/why-wordpress-is-the-best-platform-for-your-enterprise-level-website\/\">WordPress<\/a> or ExpressEngine more secure? Many people consider WordPress to be more vulnerable to hackers. On the plus side, WordPress pushes core and add-on update notifications, which can be applied automatically or with a few clicks. Updates for ExpressionEngine itself and any add-on updates are done manually and require specific procedures that take additional time, expertise, and downtime. ExpressionEngine can create security risks for companies with limited website budgets or digital expertise. On the positive side, ExpressionEngine allows users to create and manage multiple user roles and may better protect your website from hackers. That said, WordPress and ExpressionEngine use different techniques to boost security, so it\u2019s best to say it depends on your unique situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ExpressionEngine site tends to cost more than a WordPress site. Unlike WordPress, ExpressionEngine Pro requires an upfront licensing fee for installation on a publicly visible domain. Further, ExpressionEngine is usually more resource-intensive and requires a more expensive hosting plan than many WordPress options\u2014often by twice as much.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional Factors for Moving from ExpressionEngine to WordPress Migration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The four areas above represent what many consider the biggest factors when deciding which CMS platform to choose. However, there are many other aspects to migrating a site from ExpressionEngine to WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding an Experienced WordPress Migration Specialist or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sphinx-solution.com\/blog\/web-app-development-company\/\">Web Development Company<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to WordPress, it\u2019s tougher to find those with high-level ExpressionEngine experience, which can increase development costs. In addition, if clients want to make relatively straightforward changes themselves, WordPress is a natural choice. It\u2019s relatively easy to learn and is often already familiar to savvy marketers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replicating or Replacing Your Current ExpressionEngine Website<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An expert WordPress developer can probably get very close to recreating the look of your existing ExpressionEngine site. Another option is to take the opportunity to give it a complete overhaul or a moderate refresh. The same is true for replicating or modifying add-ons, e-commerce functionality, content, and media. Like Expression Engine, WordPress allows you to create custom post types and taxonomies to organize and curate content.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining ExpressionEngine&#8217;s Link Structure and Website SEO<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WordPress website management system has a very flexible permalink structure, often enabling you to keep your existing URL structure to maintain SEO and link juice. When this isn\u2019t possible, developers can use redirects, although this isn\u2019t an ideal solution. If you are currently unhappy with your rankings, transferring to WordPress provides a good opportunity to refine your URL structure for better internal linking and SEO\u2014but be careful of the impact this may have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exporting or Tweaking E-commerce Functionality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress doesn\u2019t offer eCommerce functionality as part of its core features, but plugins save the day. The most popular option for selling physical and digital products is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> WooCommerce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A developer can export XML or CVS files and then format and develop them for WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auto-Migrating ExpressionEngine to WordPress<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An automated conversion tool can prevent you from a manual transfer from ExpressionEngine to WordPress. For example, you can auto-migrate with<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> CMS2CMC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which moves entities including pages, posts, categories, comments, images, users, SEO urls, and attachments. Note that you may need a developer to check the migration and make some tweaks here and there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Boston Web Design Agency Offers Expert ExpressionEngine to WordPress Migration Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you exploring if WordPress is a better fit than your current ExpressionEngine website?
