Our 4 commitments
Galaxias is a small, independent studio, which means we get to choose who we work with and how. Here is what matters to us, beyond the code we ship.
These aren't marketing lines: they're the actual criteria behind every technical and business decision we make.
Open-source by default
We build with robust, proven open-source technologies instead of closed proprietary stacks. You keep full ownership of your code, with no forced lock-in to a vendor. And when an open-source project saves us time, we try to give some back, through contributions or bug reports.
European infrastructure
Your servers, backups, and CDN stay on European soil. It's not just about GDPR compliance: it's a conviction that our clients' data shouldn't depend on a US hyperscaler or an extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Digital sobriety
We size infrastructure for your actual needs, not for a vanity showcase. We prefer mature, long-term-supported technology over the latest trend that's disposable in two years: fewer rewrites, fewer wasted resources.
Transparency & fairness
Clear quotes, with no hidden line items, before any commitment. We look for long-term collaborations, structured so the relationship stays healthy and profitable for both you and us: that's what keeps us around for the long run.
Questions about our commitments
The technologies we use (Symfony, Laravel, Statamic) are maintained by large communities and used by thousands of companies, with long-term support cycles. That's often more reliable than a proprietary tool whose development could stop overnight.
No. Our hosting starts at €29.99 excl. VAT/month, comparable to non-European offers. Choosing French infrastructure isn't a premium option at Galaxias, it's our default way of working.
By sizing server resources to your actual needs rather than overselling unused capacity, favouring simple and maintainable architectures, and avoiding rewrites of an application that already works just to chase a trend.
It means a clear quote from day one, no surprises along the way, and a relationship built to last rather than a one-off project. We'd rather turn down a poorly-scoped project than start a collaboration on the wrong footing.
