How Long Does It Take to Build a Small Business Website?

"How long will it take?" is one of the first questions small business owners ask — usually because they've heard horror stories of projects dragging on for months. The honest answer: it depends far less on the technology than on the process. Here's what really moves the needle.

What slows most website projects down

  • Endless back-and-forth. Long email chains about tiny details add weeks.
  • Waiting on content. Photos, wording and prices that never quite get sent.
  • Over-scoping. A simple site quietly grows into a ten-page project.

How we get you live in days

We keep it focused: a fast, mobile-first site of one to three sections that covers exactly what customers need. You tell us about your business once through a short online brief, we build a draft, you get two rounds of edits, and we publish. No committee, no month-long wait.

Your part takes about 15 minutes

Fill in the brief, send a few photos, and you're basically done. We handle the design, the build, the hosting and the Google setup. Most local businesses are live within days of getting started — from just $99 to begin — the price you see is the full price you pay.
