how long does a website take to build?
depends on who builds it and how many pages.
computer web timeline:
three page website: 5-7 days from payment to live.
additional pages: add one day per page.
what affects timeline:
domain registration: instant if available, delays if name already taken and you need to choose alternative.
content collection: faster if you provide information upfront. slower if multiple back-and-forth exchanges needed to verify facts.
review time: you check site before it goes live. timeline depends on how quickly you respond with any changes.
typical agency timeline:
discovery phase: 1-2 weeks discussing requirements, reviewing examples, agreeing scope.
design phase: 1-3 weeks creating mockups, revisions, approval.
development phase: 2-4 weeks building site.
revision phase: 1-2 weeks making changes after review.
total: 5-11 weeks for basic business website.
why computer web is faster:
no design phase. one template, variations through content.
no discovery meetings. order placed, information collected, site built.
no revision rounds. built to standard, what you see is what you get.
realistic expectations:
same day: not realistic for any professional service.
5-7 days: computer web standard timeline for three pages.
1-2 weeks: reasonable for custom design with revisions.
1-3 months: typical for agencies with process overhead.
computer web builds websites to fixed timeline. payment received, information provided, site live within 5-7 days.
