How Long Does It Take to Build a Website?

A focused landing page takes about a week. A full small-business site takes 2–3 weeks. An online store or a site with custom features takes longer. Those numbers assume one thing: your content is ready.

Where the time actually goes

• Days 1–2: brief and structure — what pages, what message, what action.
• Days 3–7: design and build, working section by section.
• The middle stretch: your feedback rounds — this is where timelines live or die.
• Final days: mobile polish, speed pass, domain, launch.

The #1 cause of delay

Missing content. Not design, not code — waiting on text, photos, and logins. Projects with content ready at kickoff launch on schedule almost every time.

How to hit the fast end of the range

Have your text drafted (even roughly), photos gathered, and one decision-maker for feedback. Do that, and a week from brief to live is realistic for a landing page.
