How long does it take to build a website?

Typical timelines

These are realistic ranges for a small, focused team:

  • ✦Landing page: 3–5 days
  • ✦Business website (5–8 pages): 1–2 weeks
  • ✦Larger website or small store: 3–5 weeks
  • ✦Custom app or platform: 6–12 weeks, often launched in phases

What slows projects down

The most common delay isn't development — it's content. Waiting for photos, text or approvals can add weeks. Changing the scope midway, such as adding a store to a brochure site, also resets parts of the timeline.

How to launch faster

A few things make a big difference:

  • ✦Gather your logo, photos and service list before you start
  • ✦Pick one person to give feedback and approvals
  • ✦Launch the essentials first, then add extras
  • ✦Reply to questions within a day or two

Our process

We start with a short call, send a fixed quote with milestones, design the key pages for your approval, then build, test on real devices and launch. You'll always know what stage the project is in and what comes next.
