How long it takes to build a website

The timeline depends on the scope, but also on how quickly the text, images and feedback arrive. The ranges below apply when content arrives on time, and they come with a list of what most often slows the work down.

Approximate timelines

  • One-page / landing site: 1–2 weeks
  • Corporate website: 3–5 weeks
  • Online store: 6–10 weeks (depending on the number of products and integrations)
  • Custom application / more complex system: 8–⁠12+ weeks

A simple website is usually done in 1–2 weeks, and larger projects take longer. The ranges above are approximate, and the exact timeline is stated in the quote.

What slows development down the most

The technical part is rarely the bottleneck. Most often, the wait is for:

  • Text and images: if the content is late, so is the website. That's why we ask for it at the very start.
  • Feedback: faster approval of versions means a faster finish.
  • Access: domain, accounts, existing data for migration.

How you follow progress

Development is fully open: as soon as there is something to see, you get a link and follow progress throughout the process, with no “black box” and no surprises at the end.

You pay nothing up front: we first build the site at a preview address, you review it, and you pay before we launch it on your domain.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be done faster if I'm in a hurry?

For a smaller scope, yes: a faster timeline is possible by agreement. For larger projects, a realistic plan always gives a better result than rushing.

What if I don't have the text and images ready?

We help with structuring the text and can suggest solutions for photos. It adds a little to the timeline, but it gets sorted.
