ExpressionEngine Developer & Support in Stevenage

Long-term ExpressionEngine support, version upgrades, and specialist development for businesses that cannot afford for their website to fail.

Karl @ Expression 37 ~ ExpressionEngine Developer, Stevenage

Stevenage enquiries about ExpressionEngine support tend to split two ways: a site that's fine but neglected, or one that's actively causing problems with nobody left to call about it.

Karl's the person you'd deal with, start to finish. Expression 37's specialised in ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS since 2007. There's no handoff to anyone else.

He reviews the actual build before saying what it needs. Depending on what turns up, that's a fix, an upgrade, or an ongoing retainer.

Where we typically come in:

  • Aerospace, engineering, and technical manufacturing firms with content-accurate ExpressionEngine sites aimed at a specialist audience.
  • Pharmaceutical and life sciences businesses where accuracy and compliance in published content genuinely matters.
  • Careers-focused sites recruiting for specialised roles, needing reliable application and enquiry handling.
  • Businesses with Salesforce managing complex B2B relationships fed from the site, needing someone across both the CMS and the integration.
  • Teams who want a developer who takes technical accuracy seriously, not just a generalist marketing agency.

How a typical engagement starts:

Stevenage enquiries often start with a specific technical problem, a careers application form that's silently failing, an old EE install flagged during a security review, or content that's genuinely out of date on a compliance-sensitive page. Karl reviews the actual codebase carefully before quoting, and technical businesses here tend to prefer a standing monthly retainer once that review's done.

Common questions Stevenage clients ask:

Do you need to be based near Stevenage to support us properly?

No, everything happens remotely, code review, deployment, ongoing fixes. Stevenage is reachable enough for the rare occasion an in-person meeting genuinely adds something.

Our content needs to be technically precise, does that change how you'd approach changes?

Yes, anything touching technical or compliance content gets extra scrutiny and staged testing before it goes live, rather than being treated like standard marketing copy.

Nobody currently on staff built or fully understands our site, is that a common issue here?

Fairly common for established technical businesses. Mapping what's genuinely built into the site comes first, before anything gets changed.

How out of date can our EE version be before it's a real risk?

Security matters most regardless of version number. Beyond that, older installs increasingly struggle to find maintained add-ons, which is the real issue at upgrade time.

Do you support the Salesforce integration handling our B2B relationships?

Yes, that's usually built directly into the ExpressionEngine templates, so proper support covers the integration alongside the CMS.

What's the pricing structure?

Fixed cost for scoped project work, monthly retainer for ongoing support, agreed before anything starts.

What's a good first step?

A short call about the site, its EE version, and what's prompting the enquiry now.

Ready to get started?

If your website is business-critical and needs a specialist who will take proper long-term ownership of it, get in touch. Karl will respond personally and give you an honest view of how we can help.

Can we help?

Most clients come to us when their site has started to feel like a risk rather than an asset. Whether the agency relationship has ended, an upgrade has been delayed, or the site has simply grown beyond what it can handle, a conversation costs nothing.

About Karl

Karl Bowers ~ ExpressionEngine & Craft CMS Specialist

Karl founded Expression 37 in 2007 and has worked exclusively with ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS ever since. He does not take on work in other platforms and does not hand work to other developers. Expression 37 is deliberately small, because the kind of support that matters to clients with business-critical sites is specific to their site, not something that scales in the conventional sense. If you work with Expression 37, you work with Karl.
