How long does it take you to create a website?

The questions go to all web designers:

  • How long does it take you to create a website?
  • What is the implementation method? WordPress, HTML/CSS?
  • What is the scope and complexity of the site and how many subpages does it contain?
  • Do you use templates?
  • How much do you charge per page?

Thanks for answers.

How long do you need for a website?

Between an hour and a few weeks. Depends on the website.

How is the type of implementation? WordPress, HTML / CSS?

Right now, I’m actually out there with Blazor and Flask. Should it go fast and chic (as with some of my pages), I also like to use WordPress. This is simply faster and more pleasant. But special pages don’t get far.

How is the size and effort of the page and how many subpages are included?

That depends entirely on what this is going on… Personal pages usually have only one side. Hotel pages I made had about 5 pages. Others must have 30 or more pages.

Do you use templates?

On WordPress yes, not on own developments. But I’d like to steal codes together. 😉

How much do you ask for?

I only do within my profession or as a hobby.

The hotel’s side, which I have developed, was doped with about €1,500 and was actually quite cheap.

Hey, duration is different depending on the order and can take days-months.

I write the code myself with HTML, JavaScript, etc.

I have already made some websites myself and if I make a similar then I naturally use a template of myself

Prices from 50€ – 10,000€

Time and scope depends very much on the type of website. For big projects, I’m sure a few weeks. Personally I always write the design itself (i.e. HTML and CSS) because I somehow always want to do everything myself, but believe that with tools like Tailwind CSS or what there is not everything can be more productive. At the backend I have already tried various things, I personally like Flask, because I am just a Python fan and it is very simple but still versatile, but also used Django or stop PHP, the latter is still the most popular, but everyone has to think about it.

  1. About 1-2 weeks
  2. WordPress, because you can put everything together and just have to write something in the field.
  3. Up to 5 pages with subpages, as I always use the free version
  4. Yes, since it is very easy at wordpress only to select templates
  5. Free for the hobby and fun is enough. Don’t have to be expensive. Because you don’t have a shop. And the maximum number of 5 pages is also sufficient. I even sometimes have something left.

  • How long do you need for a website?

About 2-3 weeks, for an average page more than 2 weeks.

  • What is the type of implementation? WordPress, HTML / CSS?

All together, the best of all worlds. Many plugins cost a lot of money when it comes to frontend, because elementor is just a part of it, so I use HTML and CSS

  • How is the size and effort of the page and how many subpages are included?

5 service pages is the average, but if you have created a design, you always only have to fill them with content

  • Do you use templates?

Previously, yes, Envato did not use today. With the experience comes an eye for what does not fit

  • How much do you ask for each side?

3000€ on average, but there is still plenty of air up

Please leave feedback, even if you need help

It always depends on the scope and challenges.

Many “web designers” are not real designers. Often WordPress is simply used, a prefabricated template is selected, a few images and colors are customized and various plugins are added for analytics, SEO and other functions. I even know companies that claim to be able to program, but all their websites are generic WordPress solutions without customizing.

Yesterday, I had to quickly create a website, as I would like to extend my business model to ancillary business and recommend some of the companies I already maintain.

Since it should go fast and I myself am not a designer, but a programmer, I bought a theme as a basis on Themeforest. This took about an hour because the selection is great and I put on a current boattrap version. Although I have completed a training as a media operator, I must admit that what you learned there was little to do with real design. I have passed my education with honor, but that was more due to my knowledge than what I learned there.

On Themeforest there are not only themes for finished systems such as WordPress or Drupal, but also many “raw” themes that can be flexibly integrated into their own projects.

I then moved the domain from my cheap domain provider to a cost-effective web host and installed my preferred CMS, Redaxo – that took about 30 minutes.

The actual setup, i.e. customizing the theme and creating templates and modules, took about 6 hours. Mostly, you only need a small part of the many possibilities that such a theme offers, which is why I have reduced the theme to the least. As so often, I noticed this time that some of the modules I programmed were not used at all.

The longest it took to create the content.

The page is fine from SEO view, but not perfect. Since I don’t intend to place them up in the search engines, Ionos’ hosting service is enough for me.

Would I have been faster with WordPress? Certainly, the chosen theme would have been available as a WordPress version. However, the dependencies between templates and plugins as well as the constant updates are too complicated to me. The ability to customize PHP code without losing the update capability is restricted to WordPress. For this reason, I advise my clients about WordPress, especially when sensitive data is in play (which is not the case with me at the moment, but who knows what the future brings).

In addition, in systems like Redaxo (or Typo3, Drupal) I am much more flexible in my own development. And for my customers it is often most important that the website performs well in Google. However, WordPress is a challenge: Each plugin brings unnecessary JavaScript and CSS files that impair performance. In many cases, this creates 15 to 60 CSS files and 10 to 30 JavaScript files, only a fraction of which is really needed. Optimizing this later is often only possible until the next update, which takes place even weekly in some plugins. Installing SEO plugins, just because they carry the word “SEO” on their behalf, is also not a solution – so the mistakes on the website do not disappear.

For example, I used much longer for our club website, as I had to write interfaces myself here. We offer an overnight stay for members, but the rooms and campsites are managed in a system that does not actually offer an interface. However, as the system saves the data in a database, I could program a separate interface to use and update the data if someone reserves an overnight stay via the website or the app.
Our material rental software runs on a Raspberry Pi under Linux and does not store the data in a database. There are only cumbersome ways to query or play data, which also took a lot of time.
For the club website including the app, I invested a total of about 100 hours in my spare time. It is very extensive and offers interfaces to various other systems.

a few hours to several months.

Inconvenient wordpress, rather a reasonable self-development. Laravel as a PHP framework and own CMS system.

Templates or individual design according to customer requirements. from 500€ for a business card up to 6 digit projects in total sales. In the case, however, more than 3000€ for normal websites.
