What Slows Down a Website Build

1. Content Not Ready

The #1 delay in website projects. If you do not have your text, photos, and logo ready, the build stops. Prepare your content before the project starts.

2. Too Many Design Revisions

Most agencies include 2-3 rounds of design feedback. Each extra revision adds 2-3 days. Be specific with feedback to avoid endless loops.

3. Unclear Requirements

Starting a project without a clear brief leads to scope creep. Know what pages you need, what features you want, and what your budget is before you begin.

4. Slow Feedback

If you take a week to respond to design mockups, the project stalls. Set aside time each day to review progress and give feedback.

How to Speed Up Your Website Build

**Prepare content first** — Write your page text, gather photos, have your logo in SVG/PNG format
**Be specific about what you want** — Show examples of websites you like
**Respond quickly** — Same-day feedback keeps the project moving
**Trust your designer** — Micromanaging every pixel adds weeks
**Start with an MVP** — Launch with core pages, add features later
