Building a website can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The time frame depends on several factors, including whether you’re building the site yourself with AI tools or hiring a professional web developer, as well as the complexity and content requirements. Here are some things that can affect the timeline:

  • Size of the website
  • UI and UX design
  • Accessibility considerations
