    I started with expressionengine when the core version was free. If you already design with html/css/javascript etc. it's super flexible once you learn their tags. That being said, they're beginning to cater to high-end businesses as can be seen from the way they support third party developers. They just won't add some functionality that exists in the form of paid third party dev stuff.

    From what little I've fooled around with in Wordpress, it seems like the learning curve is more based on hacking existing templates. I'm not much of a web developer and I don't know anything about php so it's harder for me. If price really isn't an issue, expressionengine is incredible at $500+ (including some 'necessary' add-ons.)

    I guess if you can use the knowledge of messing around with ee for future clients who'll pay for the functionality, go for it. If you're not really looking into getting in the cms game, then stick with wordpress I guess.

    • Never tried Drupal or Joomla or whatever else is out there though.sseo
    • btw ee documentation is pretty thorough, and their support is higher quality compared to the range of WP users.sseo
