If you are a “hands-on” person you can simply try ExpressionEngine before buying. We offer a featured limited free version called ExpressionEngine Core that you can download and install on your own account for testing purposes or person/non-profit use. We also have a 30-day Hosted Trial for the full version of ExpressionEngine including the Discussion Forums and access to technical support. You can find more information here:

Try ExpressionEngine.

If you prefer reading and viewing as much as possible the best thing is to head over to the Overview section of the User Guide which provides a high-level overview of ExpressionEngine. The video tutorials and the ExpressionEngine Wiki are also great learning resources for ExpressionEngine.

If asking questions helps you head over to the Pre-sales Forum to get answers and feedback from EllisLab staff and the community. Or you can contact our sales team directly.
