# ExpressionEngine web design, development & support in Australia

I’m a freelance web developer based in Australia — specialising in [ExpressionEngine](https://expressionengine.com) website design, development, and ongoing support. Whether you’re maintaining an existing ExpressionEngine site or planning a full rebuild, I can help you keep your CMS secure, fast, and easy to manage.

 

   ![ExpressionEngine developer Australia](https://benbailey.com.au/uploads/logos/expressionengine-developer-australia.svg) ExpressionEngine is a powerful and flexible CMS that makes website creation and management easy.

 

 

ExpressionEngine is a flexible, secure CMS that powers thousands of business websites. I provide a complete range of ExpressionEngine development services for Australian organisations.

 

 

## ExpressionEngine development services

- New site builds and template development
- Channel and field setup
- Plugin installation and configuration
- Front-end performance optimisation
- CMS upgrades and migration to ExpressionEngine 7+

Each project is tailored to your business goals — from simple brochure sites to complex multi-channel publishing platforms.

## Ongoing ExpressionEngine support

I offer dependable support to keep your website online and running smoothly.

Support can include:

- Regular updates and security patching
- Fixes for template or add-on issues
- Performance tuning and content updates
- Training for your in-house team

If you’ve inherited an old ExpressionEngine site and need help modernising or maintaining it — I’ve got you covered.

 

 

## Why Work with a freelance ExpressionEngine developer

As an independent Australian developer, you’ll always deal directly with me — no hand-offs or agency layers. That means faster communication, transparent pricing, and solutions built specifically for your site.

I’ve worked with 100s of Australian businesses, not-for-profits and government departments and I'm available to help you.

 

 

## Get ExpressionEngine support

If your site runs on ExpressionEngine and needs updates, support, or a new direction, I can help.

 

 

  

 

 

 

I'm available freelance or contract to help you with an ExpressionEngine project.

I also work with [Craft CMS](https://benbailey.com.au/craft-cms-old) and [Webflow](https://benbailey.com.au/webflow-old).

 

 

 

- ### Can you upgrade my old ExpressionEngine site to version 7?
    
    Yes. I specialise in modernising legacy ExpressionEngine sites. I can safely migrate your content from versions 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 up to the latest version 7, ensuring your add-ons and templates continue to work perfectly.
- ### Our ExpressionEngine developer disappeared, can you take over?
    
    I frequently help Australian businesses that have inherited "orphan" EE sites. I can perform a full site audit, secure your installation, and provide the reliable ongoing support you’ve been missing.
- ### Is ExpressionEngine still a good CMS in 2026?
    
    Absolutely. With the release of version 7, ExpressionEngine remains one of the most secure and flexible CMS options available. It is particularly strong for complex, multi-channel content requirements.
- ### Do you support legacy EE add-ons?
    
    Yes. While many old add-ons are now part of the EE core, I can troubleshoot, update, or find modern replacements for legacy third-party plugins to ensure your site remains functional and secure.
