It’s the second question everyone asks after price, and the honest answer is: less time than you fear, and roughly four weeks for most local businesses.
The usual shape of it
- Week one — we learn how your business actually earns. One good conversation, no forms.
- Week two — you see the design in plain English and mark it up like a printer’s proof.
- Weeks three and four — we build it, handle the photography, and tune it to load in a blink.
- Launch day — it goes live, Google is pointed at it, and you’re handed the keys.
What actually causes delays
It’s almost never the building. It’s waiting on content — the photographs, the words, the menu, the sign-off. The single biggest thing you can do to keep things moving is to be reachable for the odd quick question. A good studio does the heavy lifting; it just needs you to nod at the right moments.
Why faster isn’t always better
Anyone promising a site by Friday is selling you a template with your logo dropped in. The four weeks aren’t slowness — they’re the difference between a website and a proper one. The bit that takes time is the bit that makes it work.
Built in a weekend, looks like it. Built in a month, earns for years.
