Website project timeline: how long a B2B website really takes
Our plan, and what actually happened on four client projects. Some ran long. We show those too.
In short
The short answer
A full website usually takes 6 weeks with us: copy and design in weeks 1 to 3, build in weeks 3 to 5, checks and launch in week 6. A landing page takes 2 to 3 weeks. The written scope comes within 3 business days of the first call. Real projects vary. On four recent client projects, the dates on our Contra project pages run from under a week to more than 20 weeks.
Our plan, week by week
The same plan as on our process page.
| When | Step | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickoff | Call and scope | A 30-minute call with Erfan. We give you the price and the date before we design anything. | A written scope, price and launch date, and the contract, within 3 business days. |
| Weeks 1 to 3 | Messaging and design | We write the copy first, then design every page. You see the work every week. | Your story, page plan and headlines, then every page for desktop and phone. |
| Weeks 3 to 5 | Development | Built so your team can edit it without a developer. | CMS, forms, analytics and the SEO basics. |
| Week 6 | Check and launch | Live on the date in your contract. Old links point to the new pages. | Every page checked on phones and laptops. |
| After launch | Handover | Everything is handed over to you. | A recorded walkthrough, every account handed over and 30 days of free fixes. |
Real projects, real dates
Start and end dates as our Contra project pages show them. Three of the four ran past our 6-week plan, and two ran far past it. The pages show when each project started and ended, not why, so we don’t guess here.
| Project | What we did | Platform | Dates | Start to end |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fronterra | Designed and built | Framer | 22 – 27 Jan 2026 | 6 days |
| Machine Football AI | Designed and built | Framer | 21 Jan – 19 Mar 2026 | 8 weeks and 2 days |
| NOCAP Sports | Built, from their design | Webflow | 19 Oct 2025 – 13 Jan 2026 | 12 weeks and 3 days |
| Comtel | Designed and built | Webflow | 24 Oct 2025 – 16 Mar 2026 | 20 weeks and 4 days |

What changes a timeline
Messaging and copywriting
We write the copy first, and you approve it before we design. The sooner the copy is agreed, the sooner design starts.
Your product screens
If the real screens don’t exist yet, we use product frames, diagrams or a short recording, so the site doesn’t wait for them.
How many pages
A landing page takes 2 to 3 weeks instead of 6. If one landing page gets you there, we scope that instead.
An existing site
A redesign or a move adds a URL list and a redirect map before launch.
A date in the contract
Tell us the date on the call. If we can’t hit it, we say so. The date we agree goes into the contract.
Plan backwards
Pick your launch date. Count back 6 weeks, then a few days more for the written scope. That’s when to book the call.
When we’re not the right fit
If you need the site live in under 3 weeks, we’re not the right team. A website template is faster.
Timeline questions
How long does a website project take?
With us, usually 6 weeks for a full website and 2 to 3 weeks for a landing page. The studios we checked state anywhere from about three weeks to 14 weeks.
What are the stages of a website project?
Ours has five: call and scope, messaging and design in weeks 1 to 3, development in weeks 3 to 5, check and launch in week 6, then handover.
Why did some of your projects take longer than 6 weeks?
Our Contra pages show three of four recent projects ran past 6 weeks, and we show them as they are. On the call, tell us your date. If we can’t hit it, we say so, and the date we agree goes into the contract.
Can a website be done in under 3 weeks?
Not with us. If you need a site in under 3 weeks, a website template is the faster route. We publish more than 100 of them.
When do we get the scope and price?
Within 3 business days of the call, in writing, with the launch date.
Your business grew up. Your website should too
If customers need a demo just to understand what you sell, your website isn’t doing its job.
- We sign an NDA on request.
- You own the site, the code and every account once it’s paid.
- Your first call is with Erfan, the founder.
