How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?
“How long will it take?” is one of the first questions people ask, and the honest answer is: usually a few weeks. Here is a realistic breakdown of what goes into that, and how to make it faster.
The typical timeline
Most small business and contractor sites take about 3 to 6 weeks. A simple 5-page site is on the shorter end; a bigger site or an online store takes longer.
What affects it
- Number of pages and features
- Whether you are selling online
- How quickly you send photos and information
- How many rounds of feedback and changes
The thing that slows it down most
Honestly? The photos. The build moves fast once we have your project photos and info. Gathering those is almost always the slow part, and that part is up to you.
How to make it faster
Have your photos and business info ready up front, and give feedback promptly. The two things we need from you are simple, which we cover on our services page.
