The Shocking Truth About Website Build Times: What Experts Reveal Will Surprise You
But you don’t have to rely on guesswork for your website design timeline. Here are the three factors that will determine whether your project stays on track or spirals into delays.
Planning and strategy
The planning phase sets everything in motion.
Start by identifying:
- Core purpose: Do you want to show your work, generate leads, sell products, or something else?
- Target audience: Who exactly do you want to reach? And what can they expect to get from your site?
- Essential functionality: What are the must-have features of your site, like lead capture forms, payment gateways, dynamic content, and more?
A week spent planning all these details upfront can save you months of revisions (and frustration) later. The goal is to keep everyone aligned on what success looks like and prevent scope creep or backtracking later.
