How long does it take to build a website and what slows down the project

“We need a website by season” or “We have a meeting in two weeks, it has to be done” — we hear these lines all the time. Question how long it takes to create a site has an honest answer, but it depends on two things: the volume of work and how quickly we get material from you. Here's what it looks like in practice.

Our frame: 7 days

We have a deadline for the creation of the site 7 dayYou'll get an estimate of the scope and deadline the same day you describe what you need.

It is important to understand that this is a deadline that applies to our side of the business. If we wait for your texts, pictures or approval, the clock stops in practice.

Site development phases

Every project goes through the same steps, regardless of size.

1. Interview and scope assessment

This is where we decide which pages the site has, what it aims for (inquiries, bookings, sales, presentation), and what features are needed. The clearer this step, the faster the rest.

2. Structure and design

It starts from the page layout, so it goes to the layout. Your first approval is usually requested here.

3. Text and photos

The most common place where the project "stands". The site cannot be finished without content, and content is best known only by the business owner.

4. Creation and connection

Pages match, mobile version is set, contact form, basic SEO elements, loading speed.

5. Testing and corrections

It checks how the site works on the phone and computer, whether the form sends messages, and whether all links lead where they should.

6. Publication

Once we get your final approval, the site goes live.

What most often extends the deadline

Experience says that delays almost never happen due to technique. The most common reasons are:

• Missing texts. The company promises to send them “one of these days.”
• Poor or missing photos. Taking photos takes time.
• More people decide. When three people give three different opinions on the color of the button, the project is extended by weeks.
• Changes in volume as you go. “Let's add shop” in the middle of the project is a whole new job.
• Unclear domain and hosting. If your domain is being traced to someone who isn't available, it can take a while.

How to speed up your site

1. Set up one person in a company that approves everything and has the final say.
2. Prepare the material before starting: logo, contact information, list of services, photos.
3. Write short texts at the base. They don't have to be perfect, we arrange them.
4. Decide on the scope in advance. Anything that can wait for phase two, wait.
5. Respond quickly to questions and views. A day of delay on your part often means a day of delay on the entire project.

Fast doesn't mean bad, but it doesn't mean everything at once

Seven days is a realistic framework for a site of clear scope. Larger projects, such as a web shop with hundreds of products or a multilingual site, require more time and this should be said openly at the beginning. It's better to get an honest deadline than a promise that doesn't come true.

What happens after you publish

Posting is not the end. This is followed by tracking queries, corrections by feedback, and, if desired, bringing visitors through Google and Meta Campaigns. If the site is part of a larger plan, for example applying to a public call, see the page on EU projects and grants. An overview of the service itself is on the page development of websites Podgorica.

Quick Q&A

Can it go faster than a week?

For a very simple site, maybe, but we don't promise what we can't deliver. Faster doesn't mean better: a site in a hurry often has bugs that are expensive to fix later.

Can I start without the finished texts?

You can, but texts will be an obstacle later. It's best to provide us with basic information about the services, and we help arrange them into readable pages.

Who decides how to look?

We suggest, you approve. That is why it is important to have one person in charge of decisions, so that time is not spent on harmonization.

What if I want to make changes after I publish?

Minor changes are a normal part of the job. Agree in advance on what's included and what's charged separately.
