YEAY! We’ve relaunched!
Yeay! We’ve relaunched EETemplates.com! The biggest change is that we are now using ExpressionEngine 2 as the foundation for the site and loving it! Nothing really complex going on behind the scenes as EE does a great job of handling sites like this without the need of any add-ons. The only one we are using is FreeForm.
If you are looking for the templates they are still available. I will be releasing another blog template this week after I package it up. I am removing the demos as it was becoming a bear keeping them up to date and locking them down so spammers couldn’t use them as their play place.
If you are interested in blogging about how you use ExpressionEngine just contact me and we’ll make it happen. I am looking for add-on reviews, tutorials, code tid-bits, new add-on previews and news.
Changing our focus for the new year
I am making some changes here at eetemplates.com. over the course of the last 2 years I have tried to figure out a way to implement templates into the CMS that I love (ExpressionEngine) thinking that there are others out there that would value having a resource where they could download a template and pick it apart to learn EE faster (we all know there is a learning curve). I know back in the day when I was doing more WordPress and Joomla development that is one of the ways I learned how those CMSs worked. Unfortunately the market for templates for ExpressionEngine is not mature enough yet to justify the time in creating templates and packaging them up. I think fundamentally this is because EE is meant to be extremely flexible and the websites that the users of EE are developing are a testimony to this. I think there will be a need in the future but for now I am going to switch the focus of this site for a time.
