No vendor lock-in, just open source & Drupal

Your website should stay yours. Simple as that. No platform you’re stuck with. No system that forces you to rebuild everything the moment you want to grow, change direction, or work with another partner.

We build with open source technology, so your website can evolve over time. Even if you ever decide to continue without us.

To us, that’s just healthy internet.

What that actually means

  • Your website is transferable
  • You’re not tied to a single hosting provider
  • Other Drupal developers can continue working on it
  • You don’t pay a license fee just to use your own website
  • Expanding your platform doesn’t mean starting from scratch

No throwaway work. Just a solid foundation built to last.

Why we choose Drupal

We build websites with Drupal, an open source CMS that’s technically strong under the hood.

No closed ecosystem.
No limiting template you’ll outgrow after a year.
No quick-fix solution that starts working against you later on.

Drupal gives you freedom. Today and years from now.

And with more than 45 years of combined Drupal experience, we know exactly what’s happening under the hood. We use AI as a tool, not as a foundation.

Why we’re careful with hosted platforms

A lot of no-code and low-code platforms sound attractive.

Fast to launch. Easy to use. Beautiful templates.

Until you want to change something.

That’s when you start running into limitations, rising subscription costs, or plugins you become dependent on. And once your entire website lives inside one platform, getting out is rarely easy.

That’s what vendor lock-in means.

Not every project needs Drupal. But building your entire website on a system you can barely move away from? We’re careful with that.

Open source goes beyond Drupal

We’re equally critical about the tools we integrate into your website.

For analytics, anti-spam, or hosting, we often choose open or European alternatives where possible. Think Plausible for analytics or Altcha for spam protection.

We’re equally deliberate about hosting, too: we work with a Belgian green hosting partner.

Not because it sounds trendy. But because less dependency usually leads to healthier long-term decisions.

That way, your website truly stays yours.
