We normally allow 6 to 10 weeks as a guide to building a new website, but it does vary and the times could be a lot shorter or perhaps even longer.
The reality is that the time-frame depends on what needs to be built, what planning and preparation has already been done and who is going to get the content ready.
An important factor is timely approvals of our work. As an example, design is usually an iterative process, and if multiple design versions are required or if you have a committee that needs to meet to review and approve our design work, then this can add time to the project.
Content is the biggest issue. After many years of experience, we know the biggest time-delay factor in website projects is the supply of content for the website pages. Most clients are already busy enough in their business, and despite the best of intentions at the start, most clients do not easily find the time to focus on writing pages of content needed for a website. Some clients have their own copywriters available, but most do not.
This is why it usually makes good sense to get the expert writing team and SEO specialists at Concise Digital involved at the start of the website project so that we can plan exactly what content is needed for the best results. We then prepare the drafts and pass it to you for your review and approval. It’s a much faster and stress-free approach, and usually ends up with better content for your website as well.
Urgent projects can often be fast-tracked to fit required deadlines, so if you need a new website built in a very short time, let’s talk. We’ll quickly let you know if we can fit it in.
