A common question we get from the clients is: how long will my project take to be delivered?
Our usual response – it depends. We usually need to get more details about the project and either receive or create a brief, to better assess the time frame.
There’s a few things to consider in this process. So, from the initial discover stage and planning to a complete live and deployed website – how long does it take?
Well – It’s not that simple.
Web design projects durations may vary. At Mojo we know that each of our projects is unique, so we treat them all as unique cases, and therefore we prepare a detailed plan crafted to each project’s specifications.
From experience, we can say that an average web design & web development of a project, following our process and feedback loops from the client will last from anything between 6 – 12 weeks, depending on the requirements.

There’s a few things that’ll determine the website’s duration. Less pages and minimal functionality will usually take less time to build than ones with a large site map, animations and more complex features.
Number of pages ( Sitemap ) – how large is your website and how many individual or bespoke pages will we need to design?
Feature complexity and integration? – are there any specific requirements from a technical standpoint (e.g. multilingual website, CMS and/or CRM integration needed)?
Design requirements – do you already have your brand established with your brand guidelines, or would you like us to work on that for you too?
Content (is king) – You’ll need to get all hands on deck to prepare your content strategy. We know we can support you on various bits and pieces relating to your call to actions and specific one-liners that’ll bump your brand, however, we believe that content is king, and you know your business best, so we always wait for you to supply the content.
