How Long Does It Take to Build a Marketing Website? Real Timelines From 5 Days to 3 Months

A single landing page can go live in 5 days, a full marketing website takes 6–10 weeks and a multi-product platform 3–5 months. Here are the real timelines from our Framer projects, what happens in each phase, and what speeds a project up or slows it down.

How long it takes to build a marketing website


Short answer: with Trueform, a single landing page goes from zero to live in 5 days, a full marketing website for a SaaS or hardware company takes 6–10 weeks, and a multi-product, multi-language platform takes 3–5 months, delivered in phases. Kick-off happens within 5 working days of signing. Most of the difference comes from page count, content readiness, languages and how much has to be migrated.

How long does a marketing website take?

These are the timelines we commit to in our proposals, with the published starting prices from our Solutions page.

$25K (CHF 20'000)

Positioning, 8–15 pages, CMS, SEO/AEO, 30 days of post-launch fixes

Brand System

3–4 weeks, bundled with a build

$25K (CHF 24'000)

Identity and the design system the website is built on

Marketing Platform

3–5 months, in phases

$49K (CHF 40'000)

Multiple products, languages and page types, 60 days of post-launch fixes

Swiss prices are excl. Swiss VAT (MWST). All projects are fixed price, never hourly.

Real timelines from our projects

Ranges are useful, but real projects are more convincing. These are taken from our case studies:

  • Flexion Robotics: a video-led marketing site, designed and built from scratch after its $50M raise, from brief to go-live in 3 weeks.

  • OhMD: a new brand and marketing website in 2 months.

  • Gather: moved from Webflow to Framer with a refreshed design system and a modular component library in 2 months.

  • Hypra: a new image platform, from a founder’s vision to market-ready in 8 weeks.

  • GCS: an enterprise site with hundreds of pages, around 30 CMS collections and custom 3D, shipped on Framer in under 3 months.

  • Summation: design already done, built in Framer and live in a few weeks.

For the largest sites, launch is not the end. Miro runs 17 languages and 58 page types, and our work with them is ongoing. Bilt has shipped new pages with us every month since May 2025.

What happens in each phase?

We design directly in Framer, where the site ships, so there is no separate design phase followed by a rebuild in code. We call this the Trueform Diamond. For a 6–10 week marketing website, the time roughly splits like this:

  • Kick-off and research (week 1). Goals, audience, competitors, an audit of the current site and the content you already have.

  • Positioning and structure (weeks 1–2). Messaging, sitemap and page structure, so every page has a clear job.

  • Design and build in Framer (weeks 2–8). Key pages first, then the component library and CMS collections the rest of the site is assembled from.

  • Content, SEO and AEO (alongside the build). Copy, metadata, structured data, redirects and an llms.txt file.

  • QA, launch and handover (final 1–2 weeks). Testing across breakpoints, launch, training for your team, then 30 days of post-launch fixes.

What makes a website project faster?

  • Content that is ready, or a clear owner for it. Waiting for copy and images is the most common delay we see.

  • One decision-maker with a small group of reviewers. Every extra approval round adds days.

  • A clear scope up front. Page count, languages and integrations agreed in the proposal.

  • Reusing what works. A strong brand or an existing design system shortens the design phase. Summation went live in a few weeks because the design was done.

What makes it slower?

  • Large migrations. Hundreds of pages, blog posts and URLs need moving and a 301 redirect each.

  • More languages and products. Each locale adds content, QA and localization work.

  • Custom interactions and integrations. Interactive demos, 3D, CRM and product integrations take extra design and build time.

  • A new brand at the same time. A Brand System adds 3–4 weeks, which OhMD’s 2-month brand and website project shows can still be fast.

Why can Framer projects be faster than custom-code builds?

Design, CMS, hosting, localization and publishing live in one platform, so there is no hand-off from a design file to a development team, and no separate hosting or release process to set up. After launch, your marketing team publishes pages themselves. Miro’s team says they ship new website pages 50% faster since working with us. If engineers need to own the site in code, a framework like Astro can be the better fit; see our Astro vs. Framer comparison.

FAQ

How long does it take to build a marketing website?

With Trueform, a full marketing website takes 6–10 weeks, a single landing page 5 days and a multi-product, multi-language platform 3–5 months. Kick-off happens within 5 working days of signing.

Can a website be built in a week?

One page can. Our Landing Page Sprint takes a single landing page from zero to live in 5 days for $15K (CHF 12'000). A full site with 8–15 pages and a CMS needs 6–10 weeks to be done properly.

How long does a website redesign take?

About the same as a new build, 6–10 weeks for a marketing site, plus time for migrating content and setting redirects if the site is large. Gather’s move from Webflow to Framer with a refreshed design system took 2 months.

What slows a website project down most?

Late content and long approval chains. Agreeing who owns copy and who signs off, before kick-off, saves more time than anything else.

What happens after launch?

Every marketing website includes 30 days of post-launch fixes, and platforms include 60 days. After that, your team runs the site, or we keep shipping with you through Post Launch Support from $7K/month (CHF 6'000/month).

Navigating Remote Company Culture

A remote or hybrid working model can be challenging. Today: Our top 10 tips for maintaining a great remote company culture.

01

Workspace

Creating an effective home office isn't just about having a desk and chair. It's about crafting an environment that promotes focus and productivity. Consider natural lighting, ergonomic furniture, and a dedicated workspace that allows you to mentally separate "work" from "home." Remember: your workspace is your foundation for professional success.

02

Communication

In remote settings, overcommunication becomes your ally. Be explicit in your messages, use asynchronous communication tools wisely, and don't shy away from video calls when complex discussions arise. Documentation becomes your best friend—what might have been a quick desk-side conversation now benefits from being recorded in your team's knowledge base.

We inform about new projects, articles, availability, and news on a monthly basis in our newsletter.
