What's the Typical Website Redesign Timeline?

June 26, 2025
Find out how much time you should expect to wait for your website redesign project to be completed.

Is your website underperforming, and you're thinking of giving it a much-needed upgrade but you're not sure how long it’ll take? If so, I'm sure one of the first questions that will come to your mind is:
“What’s the website redesign timeline?”

The answer depends on your goals, your site's current state, and whether you're also updating your content or adding new features. Each project's requirements can vary wildly, which means the answer will depend on the size and goals of the project. But for most small businesses, a standard website redesign follows a clear path. Here’s what a typical website redesign timeline looks like for a 5–10 page small business website:

Phase 1: Planning & Strategy (2–4 days)

The process begins by learning about your business, what’s not working on your current site, and what specific goals you want to achieve through the redesign.

Phase 2: Design Mockups (2–7 days)

Next, we'll create mockups of the new design, either though a detailed document or using a drawing known as a "wireframe". You’ll have a chance to review these and give us feedback before we move on.

Phase 3: Development (1–2 weeks)

Once the design is approved, development on the site upgrade will begin. This includes mobile optimization, performance upgrades, SEO boosts and and other elements specified in Phase 2, such as contact forms or image galleries. If your site had a good structure, this phase will be relatively quick. But for sites that are completely outdated, this will take a little longer.

Phase 4: Content & SEO (3–5 days)

Here, we add your content (or help you improve it). Here at Maximum Website Solutions, we believe in affordable web design and SEO for all of our clients, and so we always include on-page SEO basics to help your site get found. According to what was agreed upon in Phase 1 and 2, in this phase will also optionally undergo further research and provide blog posts or information articles to further improve your SEO.

Phase 5: Revisions & Launch (3–5 days)

We send you a preview of the site so you can request final changes. Once everything looks good and any mistakes have been ironed out, the site will be ready to go live!
