Question 1

How long does it take to build a website?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on scope: a corporate website covers Figma design, Next.js 16 development, Sanity CMS integration, and full technical SEO setup, while more complex builds with custom animations, 20+ pages, or multi-language support take longer. We work in bi-weekly sprints with live previews, so you see real progress every step, no waiting months for a final deliverable. Every project gets a fixed timeline agreed after we've scoped the real work, not before.

Question 2

Why Next.js instead of WordPress?

Accepted Answer

Next.js 16 delivers measurably superior performance: our sites consistently score above 90 on Core Web Vitals, which directly improves Google rankings and conversion rates. Unlike WordPress, there are no plugin vulnerabilities, no recurring licence fees, and no security patches to manage. You get a SaaS-grade application with server-side rendering, edge caching, and Partial Prerendering, a level of speed and security that template-based platforms structurally cannot match.

Question 3

Will my website be optimised for Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes, technical SEO is engineered into every line of code from day one, not added as an afterthought. Every page generates JSON-LD structured data (Organization, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), hreflang annotations for multilingual variants, and optimised canonical URLs. Our Next.js 16 sites consistently score above 90 on Core Web Vitals, a prerequisite for organic search dominance in 2026. This approach delivers measurable ranking improvements within 60–90 days of launch.

Question 4

Can the website support multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our standard stack uses next-intl with full i18n support, each language receives its own SEO-optimised URLs, hreflang tags, and localised content managed through Sanity CMS. Editors can create and update content in Croatian, English, German, or any additional language from a single admin interface. This architecture is optimal for international SEO, ensuring your site ranks independently in each target market's search results without duplicate content penalties.

Question 5

Do you guarantee first place on Google?

Accepted Answer

No, and nobody can. Rankings are decided by Google's algorithm, and that position cannot be bought or negotiated. Anyone promising you first place is selling something they do not control. What we do stand behind is the technical groundwork Google actually rewards: fast loading, a clean crawlable structure, correct structured data, no duplicate content, and pages that can be indexed. Those are within our control, and we measure them.

Question 6

Can good content fix a slow website?

Accepted Answer

No. If a page loads slowly, the visitor leaves before reading the first line. Speed and content solve different problems: speed decides whether someone stays, content decides whether they get in touch. A slow site is fixed in the code, the hosting and the images, not by adding more text. If speed is your real problem, hire someone who works on performance first, even if that is not us.

Question 7

Our WordPress site works. Why would we replace it?

Accepted Answer

You may not need to. If the site is fast, stable and producing enquiries, a rebuild is cost without return. Replacing it makes sense when there is a concrete problem: it is slow on mobile, it loses visitors, it cannot support functionality you need, or plugin and security maintenance eats more time than it is worth. If you are unsure, we will look at it and tell you honestly whether it is worth touching at all.

Question 8

Who writes the copy for the site?

Accepted Answer

You, us, or both together. You know your customers and the questions they ask, so your raw material almost always beats invented text. If you do not have the time, we write from a conversation with you and from what your customers actually ask, and you approve everything before it goes live. What we will not do is fill the site with generic copy that could sit unchanged on any competitor's page.

Question 9

What happens to the site if we stop working together?

Accepted Answer

The site stays entirely yours. The code lives in your Git repository, the domain and hosting are in your name, and the CMS access belongs to you. There is no licence that expires, no code tied to our infrastructure, and no part of the system only we can open. Handing it to another team means giving them repository access, nothing more.

Question 10

Why does our site score well on PageSpeed but feel slow to users?

Accepted Answer

Because the test and your real visitors measure different things. PageSpeed Insights runs a lab test on a simulated device and connection, while the Core Web Vitals report in Search Console shows what actually happened to real users on their own devices and networks. The gap usually comes from heavy images, third-party scripts (chat widgets, advertising pixels, analytics tools) and older Android devices. We work from the field data, not the lab score.

Question 11

How fast will we see results from a new website?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the channel, and that is worth saying up front. Visitors who already reach you (referrals, social, paid ads) feel the difference immediately, because pages load faster and lead more clearly to contact. Organic search is slower: Google has to recrawl the pages and weigh them against competitors, so movement usually shows over months rather than weeks. And some factors no website can fix: if enquiries are not answered the same day, or you have no capacity to take on new clients, no site will make up for it.

Question 12

Do you redesign existing sites or only build new ones?

Accepted Answer

Both, but we settle which one is right before starting. A redesign fits when the content and structure hold up and the problem is appearance, speed or conversion. A rebuild fits when the current platform limits what you need, or when maintenance costs more than replacement. On redesigns we protect the existing URLs and search positions: old addresses are redirected to the new ones, because a redesign that skips that step routinely destroys traffic built over years.
