You know the saying “How long is a piece of string” well this applies to the above question. The length of how long it takes to build your new website relies on so many different aspects. When considering your new website for your Doncaster based business you need to consider all the below points as these will all impact on the length of how long it takes to build your new website.
To get your website build off to a great start the best approach that you can take is to create a detailed brief. Give your website designer all the details so they are fully in the know about the whole project.
When creating a website brief consider the following:
The truth is that the clearer and more detailed you can make the brief then the smoother the project will be for you and your website designer.
Communication is key to any successful relationship and the same applies here. Regular communication between yourself and your website designer is important. Both parties need to be open about:
The one thing that slows down most website design projects is the speed at which content and images is provided to the website designer. Your new website can only be taken so far without content. Your website designer will need images and text for every page of the website unless it is agreed that this is being provided from somewhere else.
It’s not uncommon for website projects to be delayed for many months due to the lack of content being provided. This can be frustrating for all parties so an agreement on this at the start will help to ensure a quicker and smoother process.
The complexity of your website build will play a key part in how long the whole project takes. Obviously the more complex the website project and the more special features it contains the longer the project will take.
It’s important that you are clear from the start on what you want the website to do, any features you would like it to include and anything that might be a little out of the ordinary.
If mid-project you decide you want significant changes or additions to the website that were not part of the initial brief, then this will have a huge impact on the project. This will not only impact on the time the project takes to complete but also the cost.
The whole project is based on the initial brief so if mid-project that brief changes then that ‘curveball’ will of course mean that the timeframes and budget will also need to change.
On average a standard website design will take between 8-16 weeks depending on the busyness of your website designer and the points above. If the website build is particularly large or complex, then it can take much longer.
A successful and smooth website design project is what both the client and designer desire so applying the above points will result in this happening.
