Over a series of 8 videos, watch and learn as Ryan builds an entire ExpressionEngine website from beginning to end. Get started now.

The New Viget.com and ExpressionEngine

I missed this somehow when it was released in late March, but Viget redesigned their site and it is, of course, running ExpressionEngine. Front-end developer Trevor Davis wrote up a comprehensive article on how the site used EE to manage the blogs.

A couple of snippets from the article that I found interesting:

Well, we went from EE 1.6.2 to 2.4, and it was 100% seemless. Not once did we encounter an error. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

That makes me a bit more confident about a planned upgrade I have on my to-do list.

I can’t even count the number of EE sites I’ve built, but to me, the best way to define your channel structure is to use a whiteboard.

The best way to do anything is with a whiteboard!

They used a lot of the add-on you’d expect: Freeform, Wygwam, Low Reorder , Matrix, Playa, Template Variables, CE Image, Smartdown and more. The entire list is in the article.

Viget Design Director Tom Osborne also has an article from mid-March on the new Viget design.

A belated congratulations to the Viget team on the launch!
