How long does it take to build a professional website?

It depends on scope and, above all, how fast the content arrives. A typical brochure site is ready in a few weeks.

The phases

Briefing and proposal, development, review and launch. Each phase has a deadline agreed upfront.

What speeds it up

Copy, images and logo ready at the start shorten the timeline a lot. Most delays come from missing content, not development.

What slows it down

Scope creep mid-project, complex integrations, slow approvals and content delivered piecemeal.

Frequently asked questions

How long for a brochure site?

Typically a few weeks, with content delivered on time.

And an e-commerce?

Longer, due to catalogue, payments, legal and integrations. The timeline is set in the proposal.

Can I speed it up?

Yes: having content ready and making quick decisions is the biggest accelerator.
