Chicago-based boutique dev shop helping regulated/B2B teams modernize and maintain ExpressionEngine sites—upgrades (EE2/EE3→EE7), performance, accessibility, custom add-ons, and integrations. Small, senior team; responsive support
Experience
cre8 is a Chicago-based boutique studio focused on dependable ExpressionEngine work for regulated and B2B organizations. We plan, upgrade, and maintain EE sites that carry real-world constraints: governance, approvals, analytics, and performance. Our sweet spot is taking an existing ExpressionEngine site and making it faster, safer, and easier to run: EE2/EE3→EE7 upgrades, PHP/Stack updates, field/Structure refactors, add-on audits, accessibility fixes, and modern build pipelines.
Beyond upgrades, we build new EE sites and custom add-ons, integrate search, maps, analytics, CRM/marketing tools, and establish monitoring. We’re known for steady communication and caring about the long-term maintainability of your CMS.
Industries we serve include:
- Finance/fintech
- Associations & nonprofits
- Professional services
- Architecture/design
- Data-driven publishers
If you need an EE partner who will maintain stability while moving things forward, we’d love to help.
