How long does a website take? A realistic timeline

How long a web project takes in Albania: brochure sites, corporate sites, and e-commerce — the phases, typical timelines, and what slows the process down.

Project planning and a timeline for building a website

The short answer

A simple brochure site: usually 3–6 weeks. A corporate site with several sections and baseline SEO: 6–10 weeks. An online store: 8–14 weeks or more, depending on the catalog and payments. The timeline depends on the brief, your feedback, and whether the content (text, photos) is ready.

The phases of a typical project

Every serious project goes through:

  • Brief and structure (3–7 days)
  • UI/UX design and feedback (1–3 weeks)
  • Development and integrations (2–6 weeks)
  • Content, testing, launch (3–10 days)

What makes a project longer

The most common delays: missing text or photos, late feedback, large changes after the design is approved, and undefined integrations (CRM, payments). The clearer the brief at the start, the shorter the timeline.
