The design process can vary in length based on the complexity of the design and how much content the site will have at launch. Different steps take different amounts of time, as well
Design mockup takes ~1 Month
Content Creation takes 1-2 Months
Main Development takes 2-3 months
Final review takes 1-2 weeks
Overall, the process takes approximately 6 to 7 months.
Factors That Affect the Length of the Process
Some of the significant factors that will change the time required to complete the design process are the number of pages, the complexity of the design, and the amount of other clients the website design company has. If a large company with many clients is working on your website, it may take longer, as emergency repairs may draw attention away from your site. If you have many pages on your website, it will take longer to fill out all of the information into pages. The complexity of your design may increase the time spent developing it when you have many custom design items.
Customer Representatives
One of the most influential factors affecting creation time is the involvement of customer representatives. When a customer representative interacts on behalf of your company, it can lead to longer wait times for design changes due to additional layers of approval. The term ‘cut out the middleman’ is often used in this context to suggest bypassing such intermediaries to speed up the process.
