Factor 3 – How Complicated Is The Look?
A website with many complicated flash animations, fancy graphics and a different look on every single webpage is going to take a lot longer to build than a simple, clean looking site that can be built in a matter of hours. I can, as a rule, build a simple clean looking website style from scratch in about 4 hours. It is the iterations after that point that take the time!

Factor 4 – How Many People Are Reviewing The Website?
This is an unbelievable factor in the build time of a website. All of my longest builds have had a group of people deciding what the new website will look like. The quickest have been built for a sole trader.

What happens is that the primary contact looks at the site, has their input with the designer and puts their stamp on it. Then the next person in the committee then gets involved, wants their ideas and changes are made. Then the next person and the person after that all do the same. One website alone was restarted 5 times as more people got involved in deciding what the website should look like.

To Answer The Question
A small website can easily be built in a morning, but as you add in extra pages and features, take time to supply multiple drafts of the content and add in a more complicated look to the site and get more people involved in what it should look like, the build time increases exponentially.
