FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This web development FAQ covers what clients ask me most, before and after the first message: price, timeline, who owns the site afterwards, hosting, SEO, and Serbia's e-invoicing and e-delivery note systems. The answers are short, and each one links to the page that covers the topic in detail.

Pricing and payment

How much does a website cost?

A presentation site starts at 100 EUR, a business site with a blog at 150 EUR, and an online store at 350 to 400 EUR or more. Web applications start at 300 EUR, and connecting software to SEF or e-delivery notes is priced on request, from around 300 EUR. What each price covers is on the pricing page, and market ranges in the guide what a website costs in Serbia.

What raises the price?

Mostly an admin panel for editing content yourself, since it is priced separately. Then links to other systems, such as suppliers, a bank or point of sale software. A second or third language adds a small surcharge, and there is no limit on the number of pages. Real examples with prices are on the pricing page.

How do I pay?

Domain and hosting are paid up front, the rest after the site goes live, by agreement and in installments if you like. Companies that need an invoice are invoiced through a registered company, with VAT included. The full workflow, from enquiry to handover, is on the process page.

Is the domain included in the price?

No. The domain is paid at the registry's price, and hosting is up to around 30 EUR a year. Both are yours and paid up front, and I let you know 45 days before they expire. Yearly costs are in a table on the pricing page.

Timelines

How long does it take to build a website?

A presentation site takes 3 to 7 days, more complex projects 7 to 20 days or more. Before the build comes a specification with a sketch, 1 to 2 days, and work starts only once you approve it. Testing on phones, launch and handover are included. The stages are on the process page.

How long does an online store or application take?

A store takes around 20 days, and connecting to SEF or e-delivery notes 20 days or more. EcoLED took almost 2 months, because it included a redesign and waiting for a supplier's API. The timeline for each project is in its case study.

What can slow a project down?

Usually material: copy, photos and data that arrive late. The timeline also depends on how quickly what is needed arrives. If you ask for something completely outside what we agreed, we agree a small surcharge, and the timeline usually stays the same. How this works is on the process page.

Ownership, hosting and changes

Who owns the website after it is built?

You do. The site, domain and hosting are yours, and you pay for them. On request you get access to the hosting, the domain and the source code. If you ever stop maintenance, everything stays in your hands, along with access to Search Console. Details are on the process page, in the ownership section.

Where is the site hosted?

On hosting I rent for several sites and share with clients, at around 30 EUR a year or less. The sites I build run on standard hosting with no dedicated server, so that cost stays low. More on the pricing page.

Can I edit the text on my site myself?

Yes, if the site has an admin panel, which is priced separately. FIDAI Coaching has 18 section types the owner uses to build pages, and Bralić & Dekić publish construction sites themselves. Without an admin, I make text, price and image changes as part of maintenance. An example is FIDAI Coaching.

Is WordPress better than a custom site?

For a site that has to be fast and maintained for years, a custom site has no plugins to keep updating. The home page of this site ships 0 KB of JavaScript, and Relax Home scores 99 for mobile performance in Lighthouse. I use WordPress only when a client asks for it explicitly. The comparison is on the website development page.

SEO and Google

Is SEO included in the price of a site?

Yes. Every site I build comes with basic SEO: titles, descriptions, speed, a sitemap and company details for Google. SEO on a site I did not build is priced on request, once I have access to the source code. What is included is on the SEO page.

When do SEO results show?

First changes usually show after the first month. After a new site and a blog written around real searches, Relax Home went from under 100 to more than 10,000 visits a month. The whole story and the figures are in the Relax Home case study.

Can you guarantee a position on Google?

No. Google decides the order of results, and nobody can guarantee it. What I can promise is what depends on me: a technically sound, fast site, copy that answers real searches, and monthly monitoring in Search Console. What that looks like in practice is on the SEO page.

Do you set up a Google Business Profile?

I set it up, manage it and optimize it as part of SEO work. The profile matters for local searches, when someone looks for a service in their town, because it shows on the map next to the results. What else SEO covers is on the SEO page.

SEF, e-delivery notes and fiscal receipts

What is SEF?

Serbia's state e-invoicing system, run by the Ministry of Finance. VAT payers issue and receive e-invoices through it, and between private companies it has been mandatory since January 1, 2023. Invoices are kept for 10 years in SEF or with an information intermediary. How software connects to SEF is on the SEF integration page.

When did e-delivery notes become mandatory in Serbia?

From January 1, 2026 for the public sector, for notes private companies send to the public sector, and for excise goods. From October 1, 2027, private companies receive e-delivery notes for every movement of goods and send them to each other. Dates and sources are on the e-delivery notes page.

Can my software send to SEF and the e-delivery note system?

Yes, if the software is extended to send and receive requests through an API I build for it. That is how BKC Soft's software sends invoices and delivery notes through the efakture.exe service: more than 10,000 invoices and more than 5,000 delivery notes so far. Priced on request, from around 300 EUR. See efakture.exe.

What if I have no software for delivery notes?

There is the eOtpremnice portal, for companies without their own software. Notes can be sent from a phone, with no card reader, and items are imported by scanning the QR code on a fiscal receipt. The first 3 months are free, then a monthly subscription applies. More in the eOtpremnice case study.

Can an online store send a fiscal receipt to the customer?

Yes, if it is connected to the point of sale software. At EcoLED, the efakture.exe service sends the fiscal receipt to the store's site, and as soon as it arrives, the customer gets an email with the receipt as a PDF. How it was done is in the EcoLED case study.

Maintenance

How much does website maintenance cost per month?

The first year is free. After that, maintenance is 10 EUR a month, or 100 EUR a year, which makes 2 months free. Hosting and the domain are paid separately. Every client so far has continued after the first year. What is included is on the maintenance page.

What does maintenance include?

Text, price and image changes, updates and security patches, backups, uptime monitoring and SEO tracking. New pages, new features and redesigns are not included and are agreed separately. If Search Console shows a search worth a new page, I propose it and wait for your approval. More on the maintenance page.

How fast do you respond when something breaks?

Messages sent before 5 pm CET get a reply the same day, just like enquiries; weekend replies are not guaranteed. Calls are on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00, and you can also write on WhatsApp or Viber. All channels are on the contact page.

What happens if I stop maintenance?

The site stays yours. You have access to the hosting and domain, which you keep paying for yourself, and to Search Console and analytics. The site keeps running, just without changes and monitoring from me. How this works is on the maintenance page.
