ExpressionEngine Upgrade Services

ExpressionEngine 2 was retired over 8 years ago, ExpressionEngine 3 was retired 6 years ago and ExpressoinEngine version 5 was retired 3 years ago, and ExpressionEngine version 6 will enter security fix only mode soon. You need to stay up to date to stay safe.

In the world we live in, we can't underestimate how important it is to stay on top of security patches and updates. The FBI estimates that the cost of cyber crime in the US alone jumped by 22% in 2023 ExpressionEngine versions 1 through 5 have all been retired, which means they will no longer receive security updates, feature additions, or be updated to support the newer versions of PHP your hosting company requires.

Staying up to date with ExpressionEngine versions comes with a lot more then just security. It also enables you to harness the newest technology to benifit your organization. Making tasks easier to accomplish and in less time. Futher more, ExpressionEngine version 7 also removes the necessity of several third-party add-ons that used to be considered required when building and maintaining ExpressionEngine sites.

Having upgraded many ExpressionEngine sites, we've developed a skill and tool set that is second to none. If you have a difficult site, custom add-ons, e-commerce, or add-ons that are no longer supported, we've been there and have crossed those bridges.
