eeSiteKit Launches

NetRaising has launched a new product for ExpressionEngine called eeSiteKit. It had been in private beta but is now publicly available.

eeSiteKit is a “pre-coded template and site framework” and makes it easier for you to get an ExpressionEngine site structure up and running quickly. It doesn’t require any add-ons, just the software from NetRaising which costs $59.95 and can be used for as many EE installs as you like. You run the installer and it populates EE with a series of default templates that help you get started with site structure. After that, there is no other software to run or maintain. Because of this, it should be hassle-free when you’re upgrading ExpressionEngine.

It has some nice features like:

  • Nested page URLs
  • SEO friendly
  • Dynamic site navigation

I had a chance to play with eeSiteKit a while back and can confirm that it does what it says it does and the installation couldn’t be easier.

eeSiteKit is certainly not for every ExpressionEngine user, but it may be of interest to those people who are new to EE and wish to get up and running fairly quickly.

There is a full User Guide available on the website, with helpful videos that walk you through each and every step of using eeSiteKit.
