The short answer
Scope determines the price—not just the page count. Ask for a proposal that separates the build, content, third-party services and ongoing support.
Why there is no single price here
One number is not a reliable estimate without a brief. A straightforward service website and a multilingual portfolio with custom animation require different amounts of work. This is not a Sync111 price list or a survey of Croatian market rates; it is a way to define a clearer project.
Start by describing the purpose. Should the website generate enquiries, present projects, show accommodation or enable a particular action? Then explain who will supply the content and who needs to edit it later.
What changes the scope?
The number of distinct page templates can matter more than the number of URLs. Ten projects using one template are a different task from ten independently designed landing pages.
| Item | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Content | Who writes, selects photography and prepares translations? |
| Design | Is this a template adaptation or a new visual system? |
| Languages | Which pages are translated and who maintains both versions? |
| Features | Do you need bookings, forms, a catalogue or integrations? |
| Editing | What will you update yourself, and do you need a CMS? |
| Launch | Who connects the domain, hosting and email? |
| Support | What happens after publication and how are changes priced? |
The initial build is not the whole cost
Consider domain registration, hosting, licences and support separately from the initial project. Not every website requires every item, but each necessary service needs a clear owner and payment arrangement.
Ask whose account will hold the domain and hosting, and what happens if you change collaborators. Check whether support covers fixes only, or also new pages, copy changes and additional design work.
How to compare two proposals
Send the same brief to each candidate. If one proposal includes copy, photographs and two languages while another covers development from materials you provide, the totals do not describe the same service.
- Ask for an exact page and feature list.
- Check review rounds and who approves the content.
- Separate necessary items from optional additions.
- Agree pre-launch checks, especially on phones.
- Confirm how accounts and project files will be handed over.
A brief you can adapt
“We need to present our services and three projects in Croatian and English, with clear contact details and a way to add more projects. We have a logo and photos, but the copy needs editing. We would like to agree the structure and scope first.”
This does not replace a conversation, but it makes the next questions more useful. The Frame14 project shows how services and a portfolio can form one website. For your own project, send a similar outline to info@sync111.eu.
