Product overview

Akollade is a web development agency based in Reims, France, founded in 2022. Rather than a single software product, Akollade offers a portfolio of web development services centered on custom application development, website creation, and technical modernization. Its service portfolio spans website creation (Site Internet), custom business web applications (Application Web Métier), redesign and modernization (Refonte et Modernisation), and technical consulting and audit (Conseil et Audit). The agency specializes in PHP-based technology competencies including Symfony, Laravel, Drupal, Statamic, Sylius, API Platform, JavaScript, WordPress, and Ansible automation. As an Activateur France Num, Akollade also provides digital transformation advisory.
