## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

### What do IT services for SMBs in Croatia typically include?
Usually a combination of hardware, network, and software maintenance, website development or upgrades, and cloud and security measures. Every business has different priorities - the goal is to align scope with business risks and budget.

### Why is cybersecurity important for small and medium-sized businesses?
Smaller businesses often assume they are not "interesting" to attackers, but automated attacks target everyone. Regular protection, backups, and employee education reduce the chances of downtime or data loss.

### How to choose a reliable partner for website development?
Check for clarity in timelines, documentation, and post-launch maintenance. The site must be fast on mobile, accessible, and securely updated (CMS and plugins). Ask for references and their backup procedures.

### What is data recovery and when should you plan for it?
A recovery plan defines what you do after a disk failure, malware attack, or processing error. Before an incident, you need to define availability targets, regular off-site backups, and who tests them.

### What does "cloud services" mean for smaller businesses?
Often email, file storage, or backups with a trusted provider to reduce the cost of your own server and improve availability. It is important to know where data is geographically stored and who the data controller is.

### How does ANIM approach digital transformation for small teams?
Without unnecessary scope creep: stability, security, and clear communication first, then gradual automation and integration of tools you already use. You can request a free assessment.

### How much does a website cost for a small business in Croatia?
Start packages from 600 EUR for a presentational website (up to 5 pages), Business from 1.200 EUR with CMS, Premium from 2.500 EUR for e-commerce or multilingual sites. Monthly maintenance from 40 EUR/mo. Full pricing: https://anim.hr/cjenik

### What does website maintenance after launch include?
Regular system and plugin updates, security checks, uptime monitoring, backups, and technical support. The goal is for the site to remain fast, secure, and functional long-term.

### What should I do if my WordPress site has been hacked?
First isolate the site (put it in maintenance mode), change all passwords, and check your backup. Then identify the attack vector, clean the malware, update WordPress core, themes, and plugins, and harden security (WAF, MFA, monitoring). ANIM has extensive experience with WordPress malware incidents and offers rapid response. Pricing: 200-500 EUR.

### How can I protect my business from ransomware?
Three key steps: regular backups stored outside the production environment that are tested periodically, employee education on phishing attacks, and technical measures like multi-factor authentication, system updates, and firewall configuration. For small businesses, practical cyber hygiene matters more than expensive tools.

### How can I automate business processes on a small budget?
Start with tools you already use - connect CRM, email, and forms through simple automations. ANIM documents workflows, builds sustainable solutions, and avoids unnecessary vendor lock-in. Even small automation of repetitive steps can save hours per week. Starting from 400 EUR.

### Why is my website slow on mobile?
Most common causes: unoptimized images, too much JavaScript, slow server, and lack of caching. ANIM analyzes Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and optimizes specific bottlenecks - from image compression to CDN configuration and lazy loading.

### What is SEO and why does my business need it?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) makes your website visible in Google and other search engines. For local businesses in Croatia, local SEO is especially important - it ensures you appear when someone searches for services in your area. ANIM also optimizes for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) through GEO/AIO strategies.

### What is the difference between SEO and GEO/AIO?
SEO targets traditional search results (Google, Bing). GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AIO (AI Optimization) target AI answer engines that cite sources in their responses. ANIM's SEO + AIO package covers both.
