**A business website usually takes 3 to 6 weeks to build, an e-commerce store 4 
to 10 weeks and a custom web app 2 to 6 months.** The biggest delays come from slow
feedback and missing content, not from development.

## Typical timelines

 * **Landing page:** 3 to 7 days.
 * **Business website (5-10 pages):** 3 to 6 weeks.
 * **Shopify or WooCommerce store:** 4 to 10 weeks depending on catalogue and integrations.
 * **Custom web app or portal:** 2 to 6 months, delivered in phases.

## What happens in those weeks

 1. **Discovery and sitemap (2-4 days):** goals, pages, competitors.
 2. **Design (1-2 weeks):** homepage first, then inner pages, with two revision rounds.
 3. **Development (1-3 weeks):** build, forms, integrations, speed work.
 4. **Content, SEO and testing (3-7 days):** metadata, schema, redirects, device testing.
 5. **Launch and handover:** DNS, analytics, training.

## What slows a project down

 * Late content, logos and product data.
 * Many stakeholders giving conflicting feedback.
 * Scope changes after design approval.
 * Third-party integrations such as ERP or payment gateways.

## FAQs

### Can a website be built in one week?

A simple landing page can, if content is ready. A full business website needs more
time for design, SEO and testing.

### Does a faster build mean lower quality?

Not necessarily, but rushing skips testing and SEO setup. Agree a realistic schedule
instead.

### Who delays most projects?

Usually content and approvals. Preparing both early is the best way to save time.
