Can you build a website in a month?

Building a new website is hard work, and not just for the WordPress Developer Sydney you’ve hired. There are certain things that only you can do. Gathering content, reviewing deliverables, providing feedback, answering questions. Seldom does it happen that a client is looking for a website when they’re not busy? Taking the time to respond and provide the necessary input for your project isn’t always convenient.

So how long does it really take to build a website?

The answer to the question above is, unfortunately: it depends on. While cost and timeline are often very closely related, there are dozens of factors that will affect the total length of the project, including (but not limited to) design needs, defined functionality, client feedback, agency resources, and more.

Most web projects should allow for 12 to 16 weeks from the time that the project kicks off to the time that the website launches. Where complexity is higher or the scope of the project is particularly large, projects can take 6 months or longer.

Clients are unique and they have their own set of expectations in the web design process. Some may expect fine attention to design details, some may expect fancy features, some may be focused solely on SEO and so on. Those expectations need to be understood and time is devoted to meeting them. Thus, the overall time of website development process may vary from company to company.

4 Phases of Web Development Process:

Strategy

Involves determining goals and getting a better understanding of the needs of both client and their audience.

Architecture and Design

The architecture is fundamentally an outline of pages on the site, intended to show how the hierarchy of top- and sub-level pages fit together. Determining the homepage design and inner page design is crucial as this will be the things that can be considered by future users into staying on the website.

Development

A period when assets are updated, edits are implemented and technical resources are pulled in to ensure a successful, on-time launch.

Support

Marketing doesn’t stop when the site launches. Upgrades and updates should also be continuous as well as other things for the betterment of the website, with the goal of helping your brand to build stronger client/customer relationships and growing your audience.

The whole process of web development is not easy but it will be easier with the help of web experts from WordPress Developer Sydney.
