What we do:

Expression 37 provides specialist ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS services to business owners across the UK, focusing on the long-term care of existing websites rather than general web development. That includes version upgrades, retainer support, taking over from previous developers or agencies, third-party integrations such as Stripe, Salesforce and HubSpot, and legacy PHP application maintenance. All work is handled personally by Karl, with no account managers or junior developers involved.

Taking Over a Craft CMS Site Built by Another Developer: What We Look for First

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.

Third-Party Integrations on Craft CMS: Why They Break and What to Do About It

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.

What to Look for When Hiring a Craft CMS Developer

Craft CMS has a strong but relatively specialised developer community. The difference between someone who has built seriously with Craft and someone who has touched it once or twice is meaningful. If your site runs on Craft and you need ongoing development or support, knowing what to look for matters.

Client feedback:

It's always a nervous decision making the right choice of web provider when you have a large-scale project to be developed such as the York GPVTS website. Thankfully we made the right choice going with Karl at Expression 37. Karl has been excellent throughout the whole process of the project, working very closely with me and other members of the York GPVTS staff to ensure the site was built to our exact requirements. The end result has been truly impressive and we have had fantastic feedback from both internal staff and the specialist trainee doctors that use the site on a regular basis. Since the site has launched we have requested numerous development updates and modifications that are typically required of a project at this level. Karl has never failed to deliver these requests, often adding new ideas and suggestions to help improve the scope of our initial ideas. If you are looking for a solid, reliable, and friendly web developer, then Karl is your man!
