How long does it take to build a website?

How long a small business website takes, what speeds it up and what slows it down, with our real timeframes for each tier.

Most small business websites take a few weeks, not months. What decides the timeline is rarely the programming. It is how quickly the content is ready and how quickly decisions are made.

Our timeframes

Tier 1: presentation site2–4 weeks
Tier 2: site with your own editor4–6 weeks

The clock starts when we receive your answers to our short questionnaire and your logo, not on the day you first contact us.

What speeds it up

  • Content ready early. We write the texts in Greek and English from your answers to the questionnaire, so you do not have to write them yourself. The sooner the answers arrive, the sooner the first draft does.
  • Photos you already have. We use the photos your business already publishes, for example on Facebook or Instagram. A new photo shoot adds the photographer’s schedule to the timeline.
  • Quick feedback. Each tier includes two rounds of changes to the design. A reply within a few days keeps the project moving.
  • One person who decides. When several people need to approve every change, each round takes longer.

What slows it down

  • Waiting for texts, prices or product lists.
  • Access to the domain. If the domain is registered by someone else, transferring access can take days.
  • New features added halfway through. These go into a written addendum with their own timeline, so the original delivery date is protected.

After delivery

Every website comes with 1 month of free small changes and bug fixes from the day of final delivery. If you are planning a launch date, for example the opening of a shop, tell us when you send your request and we will tell you if it is realistic. You can see what each tier includes on the websites page.
