It’s one of the first questions people ask: “How long does it take to get my website live?” The answer depends on a few key factors — like the number of pages, the level of design, and how quickly content is provided.
1-Page Sites: Fastest Option
One-page websites (often called landing pages) are quick to launch. Here’s what to expect:
- ✅ Design & Build Time: 2–4 days
- ✅ Great for small services or events
- ⚠️ Limited for SEO or future scaling
Standard Business Websites (5–10 Pages)
This is what most small Irish businesses need: homepage, about, services, contact, and maybe a blog/shop.
- ✅ Design & Development: 7–14 days
- ✅ Includes mobile optimisation and SEO setup
- ⚠️ Timeline depends on content readiness
What Causes Delays?
The biggest reason websites take longer than expected isn’t coding — it’s content delays. If the client hasn’t provided text, images, or feedback on time, the project pauses.
