Expression 37 specialises in the long-term support and maintenance of ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS websites that businesses depend on every day. Most clients come to us when their site has become difficult to trust, whether the developer relationship has ended, a major upgrade has been delayed for years, or the site has simply grown beyond what the original build can handle. All work is handled personally by Karl. If your website matters to your business, you are in the right place.

Expression 37 works with a small number of clients at any one time. These are some of them.
Every client came with a real problem and a website they could not afford to have fail. Here are a selection of the engagements and what was involved in each.
Craft CMS
Custom PHP
ExpressionEngine
Practical writing on ExpressionEngine, Craft CMS, and the kind of problems that build quietly until they can no longer be ignored. Written for business owners, not developers.
Craft CMS has announced it is rebuilding its foundations on Laravel, one of the most widely used PHP frameworks in the world. If you run a business on a Craft-powered site, this is the kind of change that can sound alarming but, handled correctly, is entirely manageable. Here is what you need to understand, and what the right response looks like depending on which version your site is running.
A meaningful part of the work we do at Expression 37 involves inheriting Craft CMS sites that were built by developers or agencies who are no longer involved. The circumstances vary, but the practical challenge is always similar: a site you didn’t build, with code you didn’t write, and decisions that were never documented.
If your Craft CMS site connects to any external service, whether that’s Stripe for payments, HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM, or Mailchimp for email, you have a dependency that you probably don’t think about until it fails. Integrations break. Here’s why they fail and what to do about it.
Karl is the founder of Expression 37 Ltd and has been working exclusively with ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS since 2007.
