"How long will it take" is the second question after price in every conversation about a new website. The answer depends on scope, but the individual stages can be set out in concrete, repeatable time frames.
What delivery time depends on
- The scope — a presentation site, an e-commerce store or a bespoke web application
- The number of revision rounds at the design stage
- How quickly you supply content and materials (text, photographs, product data)
- The number of external integrations (payments, CRM, warehouse systems)
- Whether a decision-maker is available to sign off each stage
The schedule, step by step
- Brief and consultation (1–3 days) — we establish business goals, scope and audience
- Information architecture and wireframes (3–5 days) — content structure before the visual layer
- UX/UI design (5–10 days) — the full design matched to your brand, usually one or two revision rounds
- Development (1–4 weeks depending on scope) — building in Next.js and TypeScript
- Testing, optimisation and technical SEO (3–5 days) — Core Web Vitals, responsiveness, fixes
- Launch and a walkthrough of the editing panel (1–2 days)
In practice a simple company site is done within two to three weeks of signing. A larger e-commerce store or a web application with integrations usually takes six to ten weeks — not because the development itself is slower, but because there are more integrations and more rounds of testing.
What most often pushes the deadline back
- Content and photographs not being ready when development starts
- Too many revision rounds at the design stage without a clear decision
- Scope changing mid-project (new pages or features added along the way)
- Delayed sign-off of wireframes or designs on the client's side
- Complex integrations with systems that have poor API documentation
How to speed things up on your side
- Prepare text and visual materials before the start, not during
- Appoint one decision-maker to sign off each stage
- Settle the scope before signing and hold to it until the first version
- Answer design questions within 24 to 48 hours so the team is not blocked
