European tools

Made in Europe, from the code to the email.

This site runs on seven tools from five European countries. Here's what each one does here, and where it comes from.

The tools

Every tool, and what it does here.

Vike

Builds every page into plain HTML before it goes online, so it opens fast with very little JavaScript.

Germany
Commissioner

Our typeface, by Kostas Bartsokas from Thessaloniki. Its files come from this very site.

Greece
Tabler Icons

Every icon you see, built right into the pages, with no icon font to download at all.

Poland

Forgejo

Keeps the site's code on our own server in Germany. Every change passes through there first.

Germany
Bunny.net

Hosts the site and delivers every page from servers in Europe, with visitor logs turned off.

Slovenia

DatoCMS

Where we write our News. Its servers run on Amazon Web Services, in Ireland.

Italy
papaki

Holds the name makegreeceeasy.gr and our email, info@makegreeceeasy.gr, in Greece.

Why

Your data under EU law

Every company here is based in Europe and answers to the GDPR for whatever it handles.
The money stays in Europe

What we pay to run this site goes to European companies and the people who work there.
Europe on its own technology

Every European choice makes us a little less dependent on others for the basics.
Open source at the core

Vike, Commissioner, Tabler Icons and Forgejo are open source, so anyone can check how they work.

If you're building something and want it to stay in Europe, write to us. We'll tell you what we use and why.
