Development Expectations

How long will it take to get our new website up and running?

The most common question from new Venture users.



The actual amount of time it takes to depends on a few basic factors:

  • The amount of content you expect to use at the new website.
  • How much of that content can be ported over verbatim from the existing website.
  • Whether or not your new website will incorporate custom programming and/or graphic design.
  • The amount of in-house or outsourced resources you plan to allocate to the project.

Fortunately, Venture is there to help out at every step in the process with our included support and feedback through varying degrees of custom coding, graphic design, and project management upgrade options.

We’ve seen users get a new site up and running in less than two weeks whereas others have opted to take a few months to complete the work. Either way, you never have to worry about your current site being interrupted and there are no deadlines other than those set by the actual users so you can take as long as you like.

Need more time? No problem, take it. Want to sprint from beginning to end? Done. We’ll work with whatever timeline you need.

Typical Deployment Timelines

The majority of users find themselves in one of three primary deployment timelines, which are ultimately determined by whether or not any custom development or project management is required.
