About Akeeba

Web administrator and security tools you can trust.

Akeeba has produced software for Joomla, WordPress, and stand-alone PHP applications since 2006. We believe in crafting quality software, with a special focus on security and ease of use.

We are a developer-run company, from creating the products to answering all the support requests ourselves (instead of outsourcing). This personal touch allows us to be more in tune with our clients needs, and the feedback we get reflects that!

Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos

Owner & Lead Developer

Nicholas has over 30 years of experience in software development. An engineer by formal education, he found his passion and calling in web development and systems administration. An avid proponent of FOSS, he's been publishing his own FOSS software and making contributions to other projects since the early '00s.

Our History

In 2006, our lead developer Nicholas was growing sick of doing the same thing over and over again when he needed to transfer a Joomla site between a development and live server. It was boring, time-consuming, and error-prone. Surely there had to be a better way. Two weeks later, JoomlaPack was born. As it turns out, other people had the same problem, and his part-time passion turned into a full-time project in no time.

In 2009 the name of the backup software changed to Akeeba Backup and the company was founded to financially support the development of this and other FOSS software for Joomla and WordPress. As they say, the rest is history.
