How long does it take for a web design agency to complete a project?

The timeline varies based on the project scope and complexity. Here’s a general breakdown:

• Simple website (few pages): About 1-4 weeks from kickoff to launch with SVZ. This includes initial design, unlimited revisions, development, and basic content loading.
• Moderate website (custom design, ~20-30 pages and some interactive elements): Typically 1-3 months with SVZ. There’s more content to design and implement, possibly strategy for web required, more integrations, custom dev, animation, and thorough testing across devices.
• Complex website or web application: 3-6+ months is common, but schedule a discovery call with us to be sure. For example, an e-commerce site with hundreds of products, user accounts, and integrations might take 3 months, while a highly custom web app or large enterprise site could take 5-12 months.
• Webflow or no-code accelerated projects: Using tools like Webflow (which SVZ specializes in) can shorten front-end development time on many projects. We’ve completed robust marketing site development on webflow in as little as 3-5 days by leveraging Webflow’s visual development, although that assumes design is approved quickly and content is ready to go.

Keep in mind these timelines assume the project moves steadily. Delays can happen if content isn’t ready, if feedback cycles are slow, or if new features are added mid-project. On the agency side, a well-run project will include buffer time for QA (quality assurance) and refinements. Communication is key: a elite agency like SVZ will provide a detailed timeline with milestones (design presentation by week X, beta site by week Y, etc.) within scope. For instance, SVZ provides a detailed project plan, timeline, and milestone phase breakdown and we’re transparently tracking and updating our timelines throughout the project - if any phase may needs extra time, you’ll immediately know. Overall, expect anywhere from a few weeks to several months; at the start of a project - we’ll help set a realistic timeline based on your specific needs during our discovery call.
