While a lot of the individuals who call into Nextfly already have websites, there is a great number of people that call in that don’t. Many of these people do not know where to start. Even individuals that already have a website may have the wrong expectation of what the steps are and how long they can take.
While we have a good idea of how long the average website can take, this also depends on the response time in all communication and information needed. With most of our sites, the turnaround time is 60 to 90 days for a full website; however, there are other things that could speed up the process. If you already have the content ready, this can knock 7 to 14 days off of the time it takes to load content and images.
