ExpressionEngine

What Is ExpressionEngine

ExpressionEngine is a feature-rich, flexible content management system (CMS) that plays nicely with custom designs and has modules tailored to anything from contact forms to member management to wikis.

Gravity Switch is proud to announce that we are one of only four studios in all of New England to be Certified ExperessionEngine pros!

Some Examples of ExpressionEngine Sites We've Built:

 

USEHAZUS

HAZUS-MH is a multi-hazard risk assessment methodology used by FEMA.
USEHAZUS is a web-based resource for HAZUS User Groups around the world.

  • Forum Module: allows disparate user groups across the country to communicate.
  • Wiki Module: provides a place to store and share information about training and organizing.
  • Freeform Module: allowed us to create contact forms easily and inexpensively
  • Member Module: allows 100+ editors different levels of access to the site. Permissions are granted and administered by users in disparate countries, regions and HAZUS user groups.
  • Template Permissions: EE also allows a simple interface to template editing. It also allowed us to limit what user groups can edit which templates (and which parts of templates).

 

Tunnel 7

Tunnel 7 merged with Gravity Switch in 2009 and remains Gravity Switch's small business web consulting brand.

  • RSS tools: allows us to decrease our marketing costs by providing Blog and Podcast subscriptions
  • Custom Field Groups: Utilized to clearly define differing content (blog / podcast) to allow easy integration with custom RSS feeds.
  • No Design Limitations: Tunnel 7 promotes standards based web development. With some CMSes, this is hard to achieve. EE allows complete control over design and code without the overhead.
  • PHP in Templates: gave us the flexibility to create custom PHP forms without using the Freeform Module.

 

Collective Home Care

CHC promotes a holistic approach to in home health care. They provide trainings for health care practitioners and services for people who need in home health care.

  • Members Module: CHC needed an intranet to inform employees of events and trainings.
  • Completely Custom Templates:  EE has easy to modify user profile and member module templates. This made it easy to maintain the same look and feel across the site.
  • Freeform Module: for the contact form
  • Logo and photography services were also provided by Gravity Switch.
