ExpressionEngine (EE) is a commercial CMS product built on an Open Source foundation, thereby offering the best of both worlds. As a commercial product, EE is supported by a team of committed developers and technical support specialists. With its Open Source foundation, EE's codebase is 100% open, transparent, and extensible.
Reasons we choose ExpressionEngine:
If you're looking for a small, committed team for your website project, Focus Lab is that. We work with organizations, small and large, to help build successful CMS solutions to achieve their goals. Our experience with ExpressionEngine makes the setup and execution of projects fast and efficient. Our agile approach to developing websites aids in producing a well-rounded product that leads to the conversions you're looking for. Contact us today to learn how we can help you succeed.
Perhaps you don't need the extensive research, design development and ground-up deployment our full-service projects offer. If you're simply looking for a team of developers to build out the site you've already designed, we can do that. We love to team up with other organizations to help complete their puzzle and bring their project to fruition. We gladly work alongside other teams to build great products. Contact us today to learn how we can help you succeed.
One of the biggest benefits of working with Focus Lab on an ExpressionEngine project is our vast experience with the software. The longer you spend with a product, the better you know it, and we know EE inside and out. We've been building sites with it, building add-ons for it and teaching others how to use it for years. If you need guidance finding a solution for your EE project, we can help. Even if you just need us to lend and ear to an idea, we would love to help.
What qualifies us?
Example consulting topics:
One of our favorite aspects of ExpressionEngine is its extendability. The software, as a whole, is a wonderful content management platform on which we've built some pretty unique features. We believe the key to a successful website project is starting with a powerful foundation that can be further built upon. With that foundation in place, necessary pieces can be added to achieve your goals. We do this by developing custom add-ons for our projects and our clients. If you need of custom add-on for an EE project we would love to discuss the details.
“Focus Lab has provided prompt, courteous and personal service throughout our business relationship. The experience was remarkable.”

One huge benefit of having the Focus Lab team in your corner is that you can call on us in an urgent time of need. If you have a site go down, a bug that needs immediate attention or even just need new feature on a tight deadline, we can knock that out. It's important to have someone at-the-ready to take charge and get you back in the saddle. In these times, it’s comforting to know there’s a person at the other end of a phone call or email ready to help. That's where we come in.
