How long does a website project take?
Overview
A focused website project typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. A larger project with brand work, custom functionality, or complex content takes 8 to 16 weeks or more. Rushed sites tend to ship with the same problems that made the previous site fail.
Context
The timeline depends on scope, the platform being used, and how fast the client can provide content and feedback. A simple Framer site for a startup can ship in a few weeks. A full brand and website project for a scaling company takes longer because the strategy, design, and build phases each need time. The biggest cause of delay is not the build, it's content. Sites get stuck waiting for copy, images, or stakeholder approvals. The biggest cause of failure is skipping the strategy phase to save time, which means the new site repeats the mistakes of the old one because nobody stopped to define what was actually broken.
Takeaway
Plan for 4 to 8 weeks minimum. Have content ready before kickoff. Don't compress the strategy phase to hit a launch date.
