How Long Should It Take to Build a Business Website?

When you’re running a business in Las Vegas or Henderson, time is money. So it’s no surprise that one of the first questions we get at Twenty8 Marketing is:
“How long will it take to launch my new website?”

The answer? It depends.

Whether you’re building a brand-new site or giving your current one a facelift, the timeline can vary based on your goals, content, functionality, and who you hire. But knowing what to expect helps you plan smarter—and avoid costly delays.

Here’s a breakdown of how long it should take to build a business website—and what’s involved in each step.

Average Website Timeline for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses

A professionally designed and developed business website typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from start to finish.

But that range can shift based on:

• The size of the site (pages, features, complexity)
• Whether it’s a brand-new build or a redesign
• Client responsiveness for feedback and approvals
• Content readiness (photos, copy, branding)

Let’s break it down week-by-week.

Week 1: Discovery & Strategy

We start by learning everything about your business:

• What are your goals?
• Who are your customers?
• What do you want your website to do (get calls, book services, sell products)?
• What makes your Las Vegas business unique?

We’ll also analyze your current site (if you have one), research competitors, and map out your sitemap and feature list.

🔑 Client tip: The more clear you are about what you want upfront, the faster things move.

Week 2–3: Website Design Phase

This is where your site starts to take shape.

• Wireframes and layout concepts
• Brand colors, fonts, and visuals
• Mobile-first design
• Homepage and key page mockups

We’ll collaborate closely with you for feedback to lock in the direction.

🚨 This is not a time to ghost your designer. Fast approvals = faster launches.

Week 4–6: Development Phase

Once design is approved, our developers go to work bringing your website to life:

• Building mobile-responsive code
• Integrating forms, lead capture, or booking systems
• Connecting to Google Analytics, CRM, or email marketing
• Optimizing for speed, SEO, and ADA compliance

This is where performance meets design.

Week 7: Testing & Quality Control

Before launch, we run your site through a full quality check:

• Speed optimization
• Browser and device testing
• Broken link checks
• SEO basics and meta tag setup
• Page load time review
• Mobile usability audit

We make sure everything works perfectly—because your visitors won’t give you a second chance.

Week 8: Launch & Post-Launch Support

We go live!

• Point your domain
• Set up redirects (if it’s a redesign)
• Submit to Google Search Console
• Monitor performance
• Train your team (if you’ll be editing your site)

You’ll also get 30 days of post-launch support included with Twenty8 Marketing to make tweaks, fix bugs, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

When Websites Take Too Long: Red Flags

If your web project drags on for months, something’s wrong.

Watch for:

• Scope creep (adding features without adjusting the timeline)
• Poor communication
• Vague goals or lack of content
• Inexperienced freelancers or DIY builders
• Agencies juggling too many projects at once

We’ve taken over projects from frustrated Las Vegas business owners who waited 6+ months for a site that never launched. Don’t let that be you.

How Twenty8 Marketing Keeps Web Projects On Track

We’ve built websites for med spas, HVAC companies, dentists, realtors, lawyers, and countless other Las Vegas and Henderson businesses—and we’ve learned how to streamline the process.

Here’s how we keep your project moving:

✅ Dedicated project manager
✅ Clear deadlines from day one
✅ Weekly updates
✅ In-house design + development
✅ Speed-first, SEO-optimized builds
✅ Client-first communication

You’ll never wonder where your project stands. And we never leave you guessing.

Final Word: Fast is Good—But Strategic is Better

Yes, you want your new website up fast. But don’t rush at the cost of quality.

A poorly built or rushed website can:

• Load slowly
• Look bad on mobile
• Confuse visitors
• Lose search rankings
• Turn away paying customers

A great website is an investment in your brand. And done right, it will work for you 24/7—bringing in traffic, leads, and sales long after launch day.
