How we build your website
How long does it take to build a website? About two weeks.
Most trade websites go live in about two weeks. Smaller sites can be quicker and bigger builds take a little longer, but we fix your launch date on the first call. You see real pages by day five, and nothing goes live until you've signed it off.
Our process · a typical sprint
From brief to live, on schedule.
We like to spend around two weeks on a build so everything lands properly. Below is what a tight sprint looks like — starter sites can go in a week, bigger jobs run a little longer. The date gets locked on the discovery call.
Day 01 → Day 14 · date locked on the discovery call
Day 01
We listen
We get on a call and find out how the job actually gets booked — not just what you think should be on the site.
Day 03
We write
Copy first. Every page is written around the phone call, not filler paragraphs waiting for a rewrite.
Day 05
We design
A working visual direction, not a mood board — you see real pages, not swatches.
Day 08
We build
The site gets built for real: coded, fast, mobile-first, tested on an actual phone.
Day 11
We review
You check it, we fix it. Rounds of revisions are part of the price, not a separate invoice.
Day 13
We rank
Local SEO and Google Business are set up and switched on before launch, not bolted on after.
Day 14
We ship
It goes live. Dashboard access, tracking running, phone ready to ring.
Keeping to two weeks
What can make a website take longer?
Three things, and you're in control of two of them.
Compare website prices and tiersWaiting on photos or details
Send phone photos of finished jobs and your service list early. If you've got none, we can work with stock to start.
Slow sign-off
Nothing goes live until you approve it, so quick replies at review stage keep the date on track.
Extra features
Online booking, payments or a customer portal add build time. We tell you how much before you commit.
