Here's a general breakdown of the timeline, but keep in mind a lot of these tasks can run in tandem:

Planning and Research (1-2 weeks)

This phase involves defining the goals and objectives of the website, understanding the target audience, conducting market research, and planning the site structure and content strategy.

Content Creation (Usually down to client rather than developer)

Content creation involves writing copy, sourcing images and multimedia assets, and organising content for the website. This phase may take longer if extensive content creation or coordination with multiple stakeholders is required.

Design & Development (2-4 weeks)

The design phase includes creating wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to visualise the layout, navigation, and overall look and feel of the website. Design revisions and client feedback may extend this phase.

Content Population and Integration (1-2 weeks)

Once the website structure and functionality are in place, content created in earlier phases is populated into the site and integrated with the design and layout.

Testing and Quality Assurance (1 week)

Testing involves checking the website for bugs, errors, and compatibility issues across different devices, browsers, and screen sizes. It also includes usability testing to ensure a smooth user experience.

Launch and Deployment (1 week)

The final phase involves deploying the website to a live server, configuring domain settings, setting up analytics tracking, and conducting final checks before launching the site to the public.

Overall, the time to build an average website can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project, as well as factors such as client feedback and revisions. Working with experienced professionals and having a clear project plan can help streamline the process and ensure timely delivery.

*Average website - by this we mean an average sized website; 10-15 pages plus about 10 blog pages. All the website we build are elite!
