“How soon can it be live?” is one of the first things every business owner asks. The honest answer depends less on the designer and more on how ready you are. Here are realistic timelines and how to hit the fast end of them.
Realistic timelines
- One-page site: around a week once we have your details.
- Full business site (up to 8 pages): about two to three weeks.
- Premium or bilingual site: three to four weeks.
- Online store or custom build: a month or more, depending on scope.
What actually takes the time
The design and build are usually the predictable part. What varies is gathering your content, feedback rounds, and any custom features. A clear scope agreed up front — which is how we quote every project — keeps things on track.
The one thing that slows projects down
Content. Nine times out of ten, the hold-up is waiting on text, photos, logos or approvals from the client’s side. If you have your logo, a few good photos and a rough idea of your services ready, you’ll hit the fast end of every estimate above.
How to speed it up
- Gather your logo, photos and any existing text before you start.
- Note your services, hours and contact details in one place.
- Nominate one person to give feedback, so approvals don’t stall.
- Need copywriting or photos? Ask — we can handle those so they’re not a bottleneck.
Working to a deadline? Tell us your target date and we’ll tell you honestly what’s achievable — and can prioritise the build if it’s tight.
