A realistic look at timelines, phases, and what to expect

How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?

The honest answer (and what can speed things up)

One of the most common questions we hear is:

“How long will it take to build my website?”

The short answer? It depends.
But don’t worry — we’ll break it down for you step by step.

What Affects the Timeline?

Every website is different, and the time it takes depends on things like:

How many pages you need
Whether you already have content ready (text, images, logo, etc.)
The type of site (simple brochure, booking site, e-commerce)
How quickly you can communicate and give feedback
Any special functionality (like bookings, memberships, or blogs)

Typical Website Build Timeline

Here’s a rough idea of how long a standard project usually takes, from start to finish:

Week 1 – Discovery & Planning

✅ We chat about your business, goals, and what you need
✅ We confirm the site structure and design direction
✅ We send you a content checklist and gather your materials

You’ll send us: your text, images, branding, and any extras.
Note: If you choose the option of pre-build artwork (web page mock-ups) for your main page/pages, this phase may take 1-2 weeks longer.

Week 2–3 – Design & Development

✅ We create the first version of your website
✅ You get a preview and send us feedback
✅ We refine the layout, adjust colours, add content

This is where your vision starts coming to life

Week 4 – Final Edits & Testing

✅ Final round of feedback and content updates
✅ We test across devices and browsers
✅ We connect your domain and set up SEO basics

Making sure everything works perfectly before launch

Week 5 – Launch!

Your website goes live!
✅ You’ll receive basic training if needed (or handover info)
✅ We celebrate together!

What Can Delay a Project?

To keep things on track, it helps if:

Your content is ready and supplied on time in one batch (text, images, logo, etc.)
Your feedback is clear and timely
Decision-making is smooth (no last-minute changes!)

Pro tip: We’ll guide you step-by-step — but the quicker you send us materials, the quicker we can launch your site.

Final Thought from David & George

On average, most client websites take 3–5 weeks from start to launch — sometimes faster, sometimes a little longer depending on complexity and content.

The good news? We keep the process simple, guided, and stress-free from start to finish.
