It is an engine.
It enables you to focus on usability, functionality and design.
It enables you to spend more time on fine-tuning.
It enables you to deliver within a limited time frame.
It enables you to express yourself.
It’s an engine, it drives your business.

Strong Points
Human Readable URL’s.
It handles static and dynamic pages.
It allows you to do ... anything thinkable.
It’s fast, lean, mean.
Expression Engine, copyright EllisLab
Weak points
It does a bad job at self promotion.
It is so flexible it confuses new users.
