How long does it take a website?

Construction time is rarely the problem. Waiting for texts and photos does.

A five-page website is usually live within two weeks, a twelve-page site with blog within four weeks, and custom development with links takes six to twelve weeks. The biggest delays almost never come from construction, but from the delivery of texts, photos and access to systems.

STEP BY STEP

How it goes

  1. Introduction and scope, one conversationThirty minutes to determine what should be done. Then you know the price and the lead time, and these do not change unless you change the scope.
  2. Submit your partTexts, images, logo and access to your domain. This is the step where projects come to a standstill: not because it's difficult, but because it has to be done in addition to regular work.
  3. Design and construction, one to three weeksWe build the pages and put them on a test environment. You can watch live as it grows.
  4. Feedback roundYou go through everything and give your comments in one go. Collected feedback works faster than individual messages spread over three weeks.
  5. Technology and controlSpeed, mobile, accessibility, structured data, forms and measurement. This is the part you don't see that makes the difference.
  6. Go live and transferWe make it live, submit the sitemap and provide the documentation. From that moment on, the site is yours.

PITFALLS

Where delay comes from

In almost every delayed project, the cause lies with delivery. Writing texts takes more time than people estimate, especially in addition to regular work.

The second cause is feedback in individual messages. Ten individual comments over three weeks take more time than one complete round.

  • Start writing early — the largest source of delay.
  • Designate one contact person — multiple opinions without a decision maker takes weeks.
  • Collect feedback per round — not loose and not continuous.
  • Arrange access on time — domain, hosting and systems.
  • Don't change the scope halfway through — that really shifts the delivery date.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

More about lead time

Can it be done faster?

Often yes, once the delivery is ready and there is one decision maker. Construction is rarely the bottleneck. What doesn't work is shortening the checking phase: that's exactly the work that makes a site fast and findable.

What if I don't have any lyrics?

We write based on a conversation. That takes extra time, but less than three months of waiting for texts that never arrive. Tell us in advance and we will schedule it.

Can I watch in the meantime?

Yes, everything is on a test environment that you can view at any time. You see the site grow instead of just at the end.
