How Long Does It Take to Build a Contractor Website?

The most common thing we hear from contractors who have had a website built before: "It took forever and I still did not love it."

Here is how we do it and why it takes three weeks.

Week one: scope and kickoff

After you sign off on the proposal, we send a short kickoff questionnaire. We need:

• Your logo (or we build one)
• A few photos of your work (or we source stock that fits)
• Your service list and areas you cover
• One or two competitors you respect

That is it. We do not need 12 rounds of meetings. We write your copy based on the questionnaire and our research into what your customers search for.

By end of week one you will have a design mockup to review.

Week two: build

We build the real site, not a prototype. You get a preview link to a live staging URL. Click around, test it on your phone, hand it to your spouse and see what they think.

We take your feedback over email and turn around revisions within 48 hours.

Week three: launch

We move the site to your domain, set up Google Analytics, submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, and record a short walkthrough video so you know how everything works.

You are live in three weeks.

What slows it down

The only thing that ever pushes a launch past three weeks is waiting on client materials. If it takes two weeks to get your logo and photos, the timeline shifts. We flag it early and stay on you because we want to ship.

A note on revisions

Our proposals include two rounds of revisions. Most clients use one. We have never had a project go off the rails on revisions because we ask the right questions upfront.

If you are tired of vague timelines and disappearing agencies, reach out. We will tell you exactly what to expect.
