I have a historically long carreer in eZ Publish solutions development and design. I started with the original source code of eZ Publish Version 1.0 and eZ Trade 1.0 building advanced simple to use e-commerce website applications in 2000 using the open source PHP Lamp Stack Platform.
eZ Publish
The content management system (CMS) eZ Publish was developed by the Norwegian company eZ Systems in early 2000. The one senior programmer and designer Graham Brookins have been working with this system since 2000 with version 1 and have carried out many small and large installations.
The system is characterized by being very stable and having a long service life.
The further development of eZ Publish was discontinued by eZ Systems in favor of its successor eZ Platform. eZ Platform still has a "legacy mode" in which both the old eZ Publish backend and the new template system can be used.
Services
We are eZ Publish experts and offer various services.
Upgrades
We can upgrade an old eZ Publish version to the latest Community Edition. In addition, we provide additional security and kernel fixes.
We have a version that runs on PHP 7.4 and are currently working on making it run on PHP 8.3.
Extensions
We can create various extensions or eZ Publish extensions and integrate them into existing systems. The range extends from cache managers to various image extensions.
Migrations
If you have decided to replace your old eZ Publish installation with a new system, we can help you migrate the old content to a new system.
Recommendations
Although eZ Publish is no longer being developed and the company now has a different name - Ibexa - there is no need to rush if it is a stable system. We estimate that the last community version will run smoothly for several years. This means that you have time to take your time and look around for a new system.
Further development
As we look after several eZ Publish installations, we are constantly developing improvements to the system. Our customers actively benefit from our know-how.
