How Long Does It Take to Design and Launch a Website?
If you're dreaming of a fresh new website for your business, you might be wondering:
"How long is this whole thing going to take?"
The short answer? With me, it takes just one week to design and launch your website.
But — and this is the important part — there’s about a month of prep time beforehand where we gather everything we need: your imagery, your copy, your branding, your vision.
It’s a supportive, step-by-step process designed to make things feel clear, manageable, and (yes!) exciting — not overwhelming.
Here’s How It Works
When you book a Website in a Week with me, we take a full month before your design week even starts to set you up for success.
During that prep time, I’ll guide you through:
Gathering your copy — If you already have website copy written, amazing! If you need help, I’ll share prompts and guidance to make it easier.
Collecting imagery and branding assets — Things like logos, brand colors, and photos that reflect your business.
Organizing your ideas — I'll provide a clear checklist so you’ll know exactly what to send and when.
Strategizing your website goals — We'll make sure your new site truly reflects your business, attracts your ideal clients, and supports your growth.
Once we have all your pieces ready and polished, I’ll dive into the design phase, creating and launching your site in one focused, beautifully efficient week.
All My Websites Are Designed With Strategic SEO Behind Them
Here’s something a lot of people don’t talk about:
A beautiful website without SEO is like throwing a party but forgetting to give anyone the address.
You might have the most gorgeous website in the world, but if no one can find it, it’s not doing what you built it for.
Every website I build includes strategic SEO — from the way your pages are structured to the keywords woven into your copy, and all the little behind-the-scenes details that help Google actually find you.
Because the hard truth is:
Without SEO, your website can easily get buried six (or more) pages deep on Google.
And all that time, money, and love you invested? It won’t do what it’s meant to do, help new people discover your work and connect with you.

5 Questions to Ask Your Squarespace Web Designer (Before You Book)
Whether you're thinking about working with me or someone else, here are a few good questions to ask:
Do you include SEO as part of the website design?
(Spoiler: you need this if you want people to find your website!)What’s your process for gathering content before design begins?
(A clear prep process = a smoother launch.)How do you handle revisions or feedback?
(You’ll want someone who gives you room for input but keeps the project moving.)How long will the project take from start to launch?
(Get clear timelines so you know what to expect.)What kind of support is included after launch?
(It’s helpful to know if you’ll get a little help post-launch or if you’ll need to manage everything solo.)
These questions can save you a lot of headaches, and help you feel empowered in the process.
