How Long Should a Business Website Actually Take to Build?

Timelines vary a lot based on scope, so here’s a realistic breakdown based on the projects I typically handle.

## Landing Page (3–7 days)
A single focused page for a service or campaign, once content and images are ready.

## Full Business Website (2–3 weeks)
Multiple pages — Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact — with custom design and content review rounds.

## WooCommerce / Shopify Store (3–5 weeks)
Product setup, categories, payment and shipping configuration, plus testing the full checkout flow.

## What Slows Timelines Down
The biggest delay factor is almost always waiting on content — text, images and logo files — rather than the build itself.

Having your content ready before the project starts is the single best way to keep a build on schedule.
