Most small business websites take 2 to 8 weeks to build. A DIY site can stretch across many weekends; a freelancer or agency usually takes 4–12 weeks with revisions. Scalesites delivers a finished, Google-ready site in 2 weeks — with a free preview within 48 hours, before you pay.
Typical timelines
| Option | Typical time to live | Why |
|---|---|---|
| DIY (Wix, Squarespace) | Many weekends | You're learning as you go |
| Freelancer | 4–8 weeks | Briefs, drafts and revisions |
| Agency | 6–12 weeks | Discovery, design rounds, sign-offs |
| Scalesites | 2 weeks | Fixed scope, productised process |
What slows a website down
Most delays aren't the build — they're the back-and-forth. Open-ended scope, multiple revision rounds, and waiting on content or photos are what stretch a project from weeks into months.

What you'll need to provide
Not much. Your business details, a few photos of your work, and a rough idea of your services and suburbs. We write the copy and lay it out for you, so there's no blank-page stress.
Two weeks, flat price, no lock-in
A 5-page site is $750 (our most popular) or a 3-page site is $500. See how it works or get a free preview.
Frequently asked questions
Can a website really be built in 2 weeks?
+
Yes — when the scope is fixed and the process is productised. There's no open-ended discovery phase or endless revision rounds, so the timeline stays tight without cutting quality.
How soon will I see something?
+
Within 48 hours of your enquiry you'll get a free preview of your site — built with your business name and content — before you pay anything.
What if I'm slow getting photos to you?
+
We can launch with what you have and swap photos in later. The two-week clock is about our build, and we keep it moving so you're not left waiting.
