One of the first questions clients ask us is: "How long will it take?" The answer depends on the type of project, how ready your content is, and how quickly decisions get made. Here's a realistic breakdown.
Landing Page: 48–72 Hours
A single-page website — a product launch page, a campaign landing page, or a simple services overview — can go live within two to three days. This assumes you have your copy (text) and branding ready. If we're starting from scratch on the content, add a day or two.
Business Website (5–10 Pages): 1–3 Weeks
A full business website with a homepage, services, about, contact, and a blog takes one to three weeks from sign-off to launch. This includes design, development, content integration, testing on multiple devices, and SEO setup.
The biggest variable here is content. If you supply text and images from day one, we move quickly. If we're waiting on copy approvals or photography, timelines stretch.
E-Commerce Store: 2–4 Weeks
A WooCommerce or custom Laravel store typically takes two to four weeks. Product uploads, payment gateway configuration, shipping rule setup, and testing checkout flows all add time beyond a standard brochure site.
Custom Web Application: 4–12+ Weeks
A custom Laravel application — a booking system, SaaS platform, customer portal, or REST API — takes four to twelve weeks or more. The timeline is driven entirely by scope. We provide a firm estimate after a scoping call, and we stick to it.
What Causes Delays?
In our experience, most delays come from the client side rather than the development side. The most common causes:
- Content not ready: If we're building your website but waiting on your text, photos, or logo, the clock stops.
- Feedback bottlenecks: Designs and revisions need timely approval. If decisions go through multiple people, build time stalls.
- Scope changes mid-build: Adding features or pages after development has started pushes the deadline.
- Third-party delays: Waiting on domain transfers, hosting setup, or external API access from other vendors.
How We Keep Projects on Track
We agree a fixed timeline before we start — not an estimate, a date. We share staging builds regularly so you can review progress without waiting for the final reveal. And we flag anything that might delay delivery as early as possible.
