**1. Full Report**
Below is a summary of our findings and recommendations regarding the provided wireframe and the project scope. This report outlines any additional pages or functionalities we believe may be missing, highlights potentially complex components, and provides further details on how best to proceed.
---
### 1.1. Missing Pages & Information
1. **Dedicated Pages for Rooms/Zimmer**
- The wireframe shows a high-level overview of rooms but does not display individual room detail pages. We recommend creating dedicated pages for each room type to highlight features, images, and pricing details.
2. **Package Detail Pages**
- The wireframe shows “Packages” with a “jetzt buchen” (“book now”) button, but there is no detail view. We suggest adding dedicated pages for each package to clarify what the offer includes, pricing tiers, and availability.
3. **Booking System Flow**
- The wireframe only shows a high-level “jetzt buchen” button. We need a more detailed flow or modal to handle the booking process (dates, guest information, optional extras) before redirecting to the third-party booking tool. Clarification is needed on whether the client wants an embedded booking module or if we will simply redirect to the third-party site.
4. **Newsletter Sign-up Confirmation or Landing Page**
- The wireframe includes a section for “Newsletter Anmeldung,” but it does not outline what happens after the user signs up (e.g., a confirmation or “thank you” page).
5. **Legal Pages**
- Pages such as “Impressum,” “Datenschutz” (Privacy Policy), and “AGBs” (Terms and Conditions) are typically required by law in Germany. They are not visible in the wireframe but are critical to include.
6. **404 / Error Pages**
- It is good practice to include a custom 404 (Not Found) page and possibly a 500 (Server Error) page to handle any broken links or unforeseen errors.
7. **Multilingual Implementation**
- The wireframe does not explicitly mention how the site layout changes for English vs. German. We need to clarify if the client expects a language selector on each page or an automatic redirection based on user location.
8. **SEO & Metadata**
- We recommend discussing how the client plans to handle SEO for each language version. Additional fields in Storyblok may be required for meta titles, descriptions, and open graph tags.

### 1.2. Potentially Complex Components (Cost-Intensive)
1. **Third-Party Booking API Integration**
- Connecting to the booking platform’s API requires careful planning, documentation review, and potential customization of data flows (e.g., availability checks, booking confirmations, secure transactions).
2. **Multilanguage Support**
- Building a bilingual website in Storyblok and Nuxt.js involves configuring content pipelines for each language, building language switchers, and ensuring all components are fully translatable.
3. **Dynamic Components (e.g., Eventkalender)**
- If the client wants to manage a dynamic event calendar from within Storyblok (with filtering by month or category), that will require custom component development.
4. **Image Galleries & Sliders**
- Creating image galleries and sliders (e.g., in the “Galerie” and “Packages” section) requires front-end logic and possibly advanced styling. This can increase design and development time if heavily customized.
5. **Newsletter Automation**
- If we need to integrate with a newsletter service (e.g., Mailchimp, Sendinblue) and implement automated sign-up flows, confirmation emails, etc., this adds additional overhead.
---
### 1.3. Recommended Next Steps
1. **Confirm Page Structure**
- Finalize which pages will need unique templates (Rooms, Packages, Region, News, etc.) and which will be standard (e.g., 404, Impressum).
2. **Clarify Booking Details**
- Determine whether the booking will happen entirely off-site through a redirect or if we need an embedded booking widget/modal.
3. **Discuss Language Strategy**
- Confirm how the client wants to present the multilingual aspect (automatic vs. manual language selection, separate subdomains or subdirectories, etc.).
4. **Legal Requirements**
- Add or confirm the need for Impressum, Datenschutz (GDPR compliance), AGBs, Cookie Consent, etc.
5. **SEO & Marketing**
- Determine any specific SEO or marketing strategies so we can build the site architecture to support them (e.g., localized content for each language).

1. **Project Discovery & Requirements**
- **Estimated Cost:** €2,000 – €3,000
2. **Information Architecture & Wireframing**
- **Estimated Cost:** €1,500 – €2,000
3. **UI/UX Design**

- **Additional Custom Components (e.g., Event Calendar, Sliders):** €2,000 – €3,000
5. **Testing & Quality Assurance**

6. **Deployment & Launch**
- **Estimated Cost:** €1,000 – €2,000

**4. Time Estimate**
We anticipate the timeline to be approximately **10–14 weeks** from project kickoff to go-live. This includes:
1. **Discovery & Requirements Gathering:** 1–2 weeks
2. **Design Phase:** 2–3 weeks
3. **Development Phase:** 4–6 weeks
4. **Testing & QA:** 1–2 weeks
5. **Deployment & Launch:** 1 week
This schedule may vary depending on client feedback cycles and complexity of the booking API integration.
