Neftis

What Neftis does

Neftis is a privately-held French web and digital communication agency (SARL NEFTIS) founded in 1996 and headquartered in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, with a secondary office in Metz. The company operates exclusively in the Grand Est region of France, serving local SMEs, public institutions and municipalities, social housing organizations, and nonprofits. Its service portfolio spans custom website creation, e-commerce platforms, institutional and RGAA-accessible sites, digital communication, webmarketing/SEO, visual identity design, and extranet/intranet development, complemented by professional training programs in communication, CMS, SEO, and digital marketing.

The agency's core technology asset is FlexIT, a proprietary content management system developed and maintained in-house since 1996, which supports multi-site management, custom module development, responsive design, SEO optimization, and accessibility compliance. Neftis also operates its own hosting infrastructure built on dedicated X86 servers with 99% virtualization, 1Gb/s symmetric connections, and integrated monitoring (Nagios), firewall (ShoreWall), and email protection (VADERETRO). The company holds official AFNIC Registrar status, enabling direct .fr, .com, .eu, .net, and .org domain registration as a bundled service.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: project-based professional services fees for web design, e-commerce, and digital communication builds; recurring subscription revenue from hosting, managed services, and domain name registration (domains priced at €50 HT/year with up to 5 emails included); and professional training delivery (inter-company, intra-company, and customized programs). The company is co-led by Jonathan BRACNAT and Christophe RISCH (the latter also serving as Data Protection Officer) and operates with approximately 15 employees. Notable clients include Ville de Vittel, Meurthe et Moselle Habitat, Habitat Lorrain, MatéVi, Valence Romans Habitat, and CNAMS (the latter for a national business-creation platform launched in 2024). Over its history, Neftis has created 650+ websites and managed 2,000+ domains.
