Website contest: ExpressionEngine $15,000 Shootout

I’m pleased to announce that my Ideacodes partner, Max Kiesler and I will be on a panel of judges for the ExpressionEngine $15,000 Shootout.

Contest entries can be Commercial, Personal, and Core sites so anybody with an ExpressionEngine powered site can enter. Your website will be judged on innovation, excellence of design, usability, and content. Did we mention that the winners will divvy up $15,000 in cash and prizes? Enter or learn more.

I’ve used pMachine web products for various blogs and numerous sites since their first release of pMachine many years ago, and I’m now using their full featured CMS and publishing system, ExpressionEngine. While I’ve certainly tried and used many other publishing and blog systems - from six figure content management systems to the earliest versions of Movable Type, Wordpress, and numerous other open source and paid software solutions - I’ve always found pMachine extremely customizable, intuitive, fast, and reliable.

I also couldn’t be in better company with this panel of judges:
