How long does it take to build a website?

When you decide to launch your business online, you don't want to wait six months for a technical agency to finish writing code. You need a fast, reliable schedule and a clear answer to: how long does it take to build a website?

Because we build lightweight static sites that skip complex back-end server programming, your launch timeline drops from months to just a few weeks.

Our simple 3-week website launch plan

We have broken our process down into easy steps, so you always know exactly what stage your project is at:

  • Week 1: gather your material. You jot down what you want your pages to say, choose your favourite business photos and pick your colours. We help you tick off everything on your starter checklist.
  • Week 2: build the pages. We build your website and arrange your home page and service sections to look great on computers and mobile phones alike. You see it on a private preview link.
  • Week 3: final checks and launch. We test all your links and contact buttons, connect your own domain name and put your site live.

By cutting out unnecessary programming, we get your business in front of customers fast. The exact timing depends mostly on how quickly your wording and photos are ready. Ready to start the clock? Get in touch today.
