Short answer
A simple site can be built in a few weeks; a company website with a custom design, several languages and integrations usually takes one to three months. Most often the timeline is set not by programming but by preparing the content: texts, images, project descriptions and decisions.
Typical stages
- Goals and structure — who the site is for and which sections it needs.
- Content — texts, images, projects, testimonials.
- Design — the visual style and layouts of the main pages.
- Development — pages, forms, integrations, SEO.
- Testing — mobile view, speed, links, forms.
- Launch — domain, redirects from the old site, Google Search Console.
What speeds it up
- A clear goal and one person who makes decisions.
- Content prepared in time, or created together with the developer.
- An existing brand — logo, colours, fonts.
What slows it down
- Content that “will come later”.
- Many people who need to sign off.
- Requirements that change mid-project.
