How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?

A small business website can be built in three to ten business days once the content is ready. Most projects that take months are waiting on text, photos and approvals, not on design or code.

What slows a project down

  • Content that is “almost ready”.
  • Several decision-makers who review at different times.
  • No one knows who controls the domain.
  • Scope that grows during the build.

How to launch fast

  • Gather your logo, photos and a list of services before you start.
  • Name one person who approves.
  • Find your domain registrar login.
  • Accept good-enough text for launch and improve it later. A live site can be edited; an unlaunched one earns nothing.
