Short answer: A tight landing or small site in KSA often ships in 1–2 weeks after scope is locked. Lead systems and chatbots usually take 2–4 weeks. Vision or multi-path builds run longer (about 3–6 weeks). Delays almost always come from content approval, not code.
Week-by-week for a simple site
Day 0–2: scope call, pages, languages, CTA (WhatsApp or form). Day 3–7: design + build on mobile widths. Day 8–10: content lock, QA, analytics, handoff. If copy is late, the calendar slides — not the craft.
What stretches the calendar
Legal review, five stakeholders, stock photo hunts, “can we add a blog later,” and bilingual strings that arrive one language at a time. We write those risks into the scope so nobody is surprised.
Lead systems and chat
These need field lists, owners, and sample FAQs. Two to four weeks is normal when the client answers once. Endless “we will send the sheet tomorrow” is how month-long projects happen.
How Viewkeeper keeps windows honest
Fixed packages with published week ranges. Short cycles. Human review before launch. If you need something live for a campaign date, say the date on the first call.
