Most agencies quote 6 to 8 weeks to build a basic small business website. Some take longer once you factor in revision rounds, stakeholder approvals, and waiting on content. A few months in, you still don’t have a site.
At 67 Web Design, affordable web design doesn’t mean slow web design. Your site goes live in 5 business days or less once your intake form is complete. That’s not a rushed process. It’s a streamlined one.
Here’s exactly what that process looks like from start to finish, so you know what to expect before you sign up.
Why Most Websites Take So Long
Traditional agencies are thorough, but slow by design. According to HubSpot, the full process of designing and deploying a professionally built website with an agency can take five to six months from first contact to launch.
The biggest culprit usually isn’t the building itself. Ripcord Design notes that content delays from business owners are the most common reason projects stall. You’re waiting on them, they’re waiting on you, and the site sits in limbo.
We built our process around eliminating that back-and-forth. One intake form collects everything we need. After that, the work is on us.
Step 1: Pick Your Plan and Fill Out the Intake Form
Start by choosing the right plan for your business. Our website plans range from a simple 3-page Basic Site to a 10-page Deluxe build, with ecommerce options available if you sell products online.
Once you sign up, you’ll complete our intake form. This is where you tell us about your business: the pages you want, your logo, your colors, any copy you have ready, and your contact information. The more detail you provide, the better your first draft will be.
That’s your main job in this process. After the intake form is submitted, you can step back.
Step 2: We Build It
Our team takes your intake details and builds your WordPress site from the ground up. Every site is mobile-friendly and tested across devices before it ever reaches you.
We connect your domain, set up your hosting, configure your SSL certificate, and write your page titles and meta descriptions for basic on-page SEO. Business email addresses are set up for your team. All of this happens behind the scenes.
There are no design mockup rounds to approve. No lengthy back-and-forth emails. We build it based on what you gave us in the intake form, which is exactly why the timeline stays tight.
Step 3: Review, Approve, and Go Live
Once the build is complete, you get a chance to review the site before it goes live. If you spot anything you want adjusted, a small wording change, a photo swap, we handle it.
When you’re happy with it, we launch. From intake form submission to live site: 5 business days or less.
That’s not a guarantee we make lightly. It’s the standard we’ve built our whole process around.
What Happens After Launch?
Going live is the beginning, not the end. Every plan includes ongoing support so your site stays current and secure without you having to think about it.
Your hosting is fully managed. We handle security monitoring, plugin and theme updates, and daily backups. Monthly updates are included so you can send us small changes and we take care of them.
When you’re ready to grow your search visibility, our SEO plans are easy to layer on. You don’t have to do it all at once. Start with a great site, then build from there.
Is This Really Affordable Web Design, or Just Fast?
Both. And the two aren’t at odds.
The reason we can launch in under a week while other professionals take 4 to 8 weeks on average is process efficiency, not corner-cutting. We’ve built hundreds of sites. The intake form, the build workflow, and the launch checklist are all refined to move fast without skipping anything that matters.
Every site includes professional WordPress design, SSL, domain registration and renewal, business email, basic SEO setup, hosting, and monthly updates. All of that starts at $67/mo with no hidden fees.
