Content is often the biggest bottleneck, so we like to be proactive in getting a majority of the content in place before we begin first steps in the process.

WHAT FACTORS DETERMINE THE COST TO BUILD A WEBSITE?

Two things: volume and customization.

Volume is simply the # of pages on your site. All things being equal, a 10-page website is going to be less expensive than a 95-page site.

Customization can mean …

Custom content. Do you already have written content for your site or does it need to be developed?
Custom design. Do you want a highly unique or unusual layout for your site that requires re-engineering the underlying site structure?
Custom images and graphics. Do your images and graphics require specialized Photoshop effects, above and beyond standard cropping and resizing?
Custom programming​. Does your site require integration and rigorous testing with a 3rd-party application like a shopping cart or client scheduling system?

It’s fine if you want a high degree of customization. Just understand that it increases the cost of your project.

However, we have had clients get on the first page for their main keywords, within 2 days of launching and we have had websites that take 2–3-10 months for very competitive industries.

WHY AM I NOT RANKING #1 IN SEARCH RESULTS RIGHT AWAY?

A website is more than just physical appearance. It is also the site architecture and technology behind it, both of which may be helping, or hurting you in Google rankings and users experience.
