DKKMA is a agency based in London, UK, which primarily develops applications written in PHP. Our preferred platform is ExpressionEngine which we have over 6 years of experience with.

There are a number of reasons why we’ve chosen ExpressionEngine:

  • Professional, Dedicated Support
  • Incredible Flexibility
  • Stability and Security
  • Performance
  • Ease of Use
  • We chose the best platform for any given usage case but usually we’ll end up with ExpressionEngine.
