Ask ten agencies and you'll hear "six to eight weeks" from most of them. It's a safe number. It's also mostly about their workflow, not your project — and it's why most small businesses assume a website is a slow, expensive ordeal.

Here's ours, in days, with the honest math.

The shape of a fast project

Day 1 — Kickoff. A short brief on your offer, audience and the one action the page must drive. The biggest cause of slow projects is a fuzzy brief discovered in week five — so we agree the message before design starts.

Days 2–3 — Design. A custom layout and typography matched to your brand, with the CTA and form placement agreed up front. Real screens, not mood boards.

Days 3–5 — Build. The site is built in WordPress, mobile-tested and optimized for speed, SEO and security. A boring launch is a good launch.

That's a landing page: 3–5 working days, all-in. A full business website — up to six pages with a CMS your team can edit — ships in 7–10 working days, and a complete 12-page WooCommerce store in 10–15 working days.

What actually slows projects down

It's rarely the work. It's almost always one of these:

Decision latency. The day between "we'll review by Thursday" and the review actually happening. Two days of slack in a review becomes two weeks across a project.

Scope discovery. The "oh, we should also add X" conversation in week four. It's a perfectly good idea — it's a second project's idea.

Content. The copy that was "nearly ready" arrives late. We start content work on day one for this reason.

The honest per-package numbers

  • Landing page: 3–5 working days
  • Business website (up to 6 pages): 7–10 working days
  • WooCommerce store (12 pages): 10–15 working days
  • Edits to an existing site: usually a day, sometimes an hour

How to make yours faster

Three habits, from the clients who finish early:

  1. One decision-maker. Not a committee. One person with authority to say yes.
  2. Copy before design. Even rough copy. Design is faster against real words than lorem ipsum.
  3. Say no early. Every project has more good ideas than days. We'll help you pick the ones that matter.

The pattern that ruins timelines is never the build. It's the gap between "almost ready" and "done." Close that gap and days is genuinely enough — which is why we hold the deadline like it's a promise. Because it is.
