The timeline depends on the type of site, the number of pages and the features, but just as much on how quickly approvals go. Let's start with the guidelines.
Timelines by type of site
- Landing page — from 3 days.
- Business website and website for professionals — from 7 days.
- Online store — from 14 days.
- Custom multi-page website — from 2 weeks.
- Web app — from 3 weeks.
We name the exact timeline before we start and fix it in the contract.
What stages the timeline is made up of
- Discussing the task and the contract.
- Examples of sites, colours and style.
- Designing the home page and revising it until you like it.
- The other pages, built to the approved design.
- Your edits to the finished site.
- Checking on a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop and a large monitor, then launch.
What drags the work out
- No text and photos. Until they exist, the pages stand empty.
- Slow approvals. If the reply on the design comes a week later, the site is delayed by a week.
- New ideas in the middle of the work. A new feature or section after the design is approved adds time.
- Too many people deciding. When five people approve the design, there are five opinions too.
How to launch a site faster
- Gather text, photos and examples of sites in advance. We wrote what exactly to prepare in the checklist before ordering.
- Appoint one person who makes decisions.
- Reply to questions within a day: WhatsApp or Telegram is the most convenient.
- Start with the essentials. Online booking, languages and a blog can be added after launch.
An example
Imagine a barbershop in Brooklyn opening in two weeks. The owner sends the price list, photos of the barbers and a couple of sites he likes straight away, and answers questions quickly. A website for professionals with services, prices and a booking button can realistically be launched by opening day.
Why a site in one day is a bad idea
In a day you can put together a template, but you can't think through how the site will bring in customers or check it on all devices. We don't chase speed at any price: quality, timing and the result after launch all matter.
