How Long Does It Take to Build a Website – And What’s Included?
If you’re thinking about getting a website for your business, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is:
“How long is this going to take?”
The good news? It doesn’t have to take months — especially when you're working with someone who understands small business needs, timeframes, and budgets.
Let’s break it all down: how long it takes, what’s included, and how to make the process smooth and stress-free.
Typical Website Timeframes
Every business is a little different, but here’s a general guide to how long website projects take:
One-page website: 1–2 weeks
5-page website: 2–4 weeks
Larger, custom websites: 4–6+ weeks (depending on content & features)
Timelines also depend on how quickly I receive content like your logo, photos, and business details — but I’ll guide you through it all step-by-step.
What’s Included in a Website Project with Me
When you work with Macrance, you’re not just getting a “pretty page” — you’re getting a strategic, SEO-friendly website that’s built to work for your business.
Here’s what’s typically included:
1. Planning & Strategy
We start with a chat about your goals, ideal customers, and what you want your website to do — whether that’s get you found, booked, or messaged.
2. Website Design & Layout
I’ll design a layout that suits your business — clean, easy to use, mobile-friendly, and fully branded.
3. Content Support
I’ll guide you on what info I need (like your services, about section, and contact details), or you can use one of my content templates to make it easier.
4. SEO Built In
Your site will be optimised with keywords, page titles, descriptions, and image tags so you show up in Google searches.
5. Contact Forms + Social Links
A direct way for people to get in touch — plus links to your socials so customers can follow or message you easily.
6. Basic Training (if needed)
Want to edit your site later? I’ll show you how. Or you can always request future updates.
Optional Extras
Depending on what you need, you can also add:
Blog setup
Booking or enquiry forms
Product pages
Testimonials and reviews section
Google Business Profile refresh
Branding or visual upgrades
What Makes the Process Faster?
To help keep your project on track:
Send your logo, photos, and business details early

Be clear about what you like and don’t like in designs
The more prepared you are, the faster I can work my magic.
