We find ourselves building websites with ExpressionEngine time and time again. There is a good reason for this: it speeds up our delivery time which in turn keeps costs down for our clients. The site requirements might be simple or they might present more complicated challenges. In either case, ExpressionEngine works well.
Straight out of the box it covers more features than most sites need and when the need is there it has the flexibility to be configured according to the website requirements.
We sometimes get challenged to prove that ExpressionEngine is as capable as we say it is. By way of an example, here are some top line stats (correct at time of writing) based on a site that Tinderhouse has delivered using ExpressionEngine:
CMS Entries: ~2,000,000
Member profiles: ~1,000,000
ExpressionEngine at Enterprise Scale: My Lost Account
These statistics come from My Lost Account, a national banking portal we built using ExpressionEngine that serves all major UK banks including HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, and Santander. Launched to help customers reclaim lost accounts with enterprise-grade security and performance standards required by the financial sector. The system processes sensitive financial data queries, integrates with multiple banking APIs, delivers sub-second page load times despite the massive content library, and meets strict FCA compliance requirements. This real-world deployment proves ExpressionEngine's capability at genuine enterprise scale, handling millions of users and critical financial workflows for the UK's largest banking institutions.

These stats are from just one site where we have used ExpressionEngine. Other sites might not reach these numbers but that's not the point. The point is, ExpressionEngine can very easily be the right CMS for your website.
