Hello,

i was wondering if there are some templates and themes included when i buy expression engine.
if yes, where can i browse a demo for them before i place my order?

Thanks

There is one “Theme” available - called Agile Records.

I put quotation marks around the word for a reason- EE isn’t really a theme-driven CMS.  It’s more geared towards custom builds.

You can use any HTML you want (so in that sense any theme is able to be driven by EE), but it’s not a one-click install like you might expect.

Agile Records is called a Theme but is really more of a demo site to install and have a look around the code that drives it.

I’ve also begun a tutorial series on building a portfolio site using EE and the front-end code is a downloaded theme:

Hi Xpl0it,

Thank you for your interest in ExpressionEngine and welcome to the Forums!

As Mike notes, ExpressionEngine isn’t driven by themes in the sense that some other CMSes are.

A fresh install of ExpressionEngine is *completely* empty of style, presentation or content. You are presented with a blank canvas so that you can craft your site to suit your needs or the needs of your client.

Before you have a look at Mike’s excellent tutorials, you might like to watch Installing ExpressionEngine and Getting Started with ExpressionEngine for an idea behind EE’s philosophy.

Cheers,

Hey Xpl0it,

Does Mike and Dan’s suggestions get you pointed in the right direction?

Do you have any other questions I can help you with?

Thanks!
