A polished landing page takes about one to two weeks; a multi-page corporate site, two to four; a store, a month and up. The biggest variable is not coding — it is content and feedback speed.
The stages of a build
- Discovery: scope, goals and structure agreed.
- Design: you approve prototypes before any production code.
- Build: pages and features developed, with demos along the way.
- Launch: testing, hosting, go-live and handover.
Typical timelines
| Type | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Landing page | 1–2 weeks |
| Corporate site | 2–4 weeks |
| Online store | from 4 weeks |
What speeds things up
- Content ready (or a clear plan for it) before the build starts.
- One decision-maker who can approve quickly.
- A tight first scope — extras can come in a phase two.
The usual bottleneck: waiting on text, photos and approvals. Prepare content early and you will shave weeks off the timeline.
