The phases
- Discovery & strategy (about a week): goals, sitemap, content plan.
- Design (1 to 2 weeks): layouts and revisions.
- Build (2 to 4 weeks): development, content loading, integrations.
- Review & launch (about a week): testing, fixes, go-live.
How to keep it fast
Have your content and photos ready, give feedback in one consolidated round instead of trickling changes, and designate one decision-maker. Do that and most sites launch on the early end of the range.
Common questions
Can a website be built in a week?
Yes, a simple, focused site can launch in as little as 7 days when the content is ready. A larger custom or e-commerce build takes longer, usually 4 to 12 weeks, because of the strategy, copy, and functionality involved.
What slows website projects down?
Almost always content and feedback delays. If copy and photos are ready and reviews are prompt, the build itself is quick.
Does Fivenson give a timeline up front?
Yes, every project gets a schedule with milestones at kickoff, so you know exactly when design, review, and launch happen.
