Website project estimator
Answer seven questions and I’ll show you a rough scope for your website: how complex it is, which pages it likely needs, roughly how many weeks it takes, and what you can prepare now to keep it moving. It is an estimate from your answers, not a quote.
Your scope
A full business site with a handful of features. The most common shape. Your timing leaves sensible room for review and changes.
Suggested pages
- Home
- Services overview
- One page per main service

What to prepare now
- Finish rough notes for every page: what you do, for whom, and what makes you different.
- Pull together the photos you have and note which pages still need them.
An estimate from your answers, not a quote or a promise. Timelines assume feedback within a few days at each stage. No prices here: I quote every project as a fixed price after a short call.
Send me this scope
I’ll read your answers myself and reply personally with my thoughts on scope and next steps. No obligation, no sales call unless you want one.
How to use it
Pick the size of the site and how ready your words and photos are.
Tick the features you need: booking, a shop, more than one language, integrations.
Say whether you have a logo and brand, and when you would like to launch.
Read the scope summary. If it looks right, send it to me and I’ll reply personally about next steps.
Why it matters
Most website projects that run late do so for the same reasons: the content wasn’t ready, a feature appeared halfway through, or the brand was still being decided while pages were being designed. None of that is anyone’s fault. It just wasn’t visible at the start.
This estimator makes the scope visible before you talk to anyone. The timeline ranges come from how I actually schedule projects, not from an industry average. They are estimates, and they assume one decision-maker on your side and feedback within a few days at each stage.
It deliberately shows no prices. Price depends on details a form can’t see, so I quote every project as a fixed number after a short call. The scope summary is the useful part: take it to any studio and you’ll get a more accurate answer.
Good to know
Content is the usual bottleneck
If your words and photos are not ready, plan for writing time. I can write the copy with you, but it adds weeks, not days.
Features compound
A shop plus two languages is more than the sum of each, because every product and page exists twice.
Brand before design
If you need a logo, settle it first. Designing a site around a brand that is still changing means designing it twice.
Website project estimator: questions
Because I quote every project as a fixed price after a short call, and a form can’t see what makes your project cost what it does. The scope and timeline are what you need first. Send me your answers and I’ll reply personally, and we can book that call if it makes sense.
They’re the ranges I use to plan my own projects, assuming feedback within a few days at each stage. Slow feedback or late content is what usually stretches them. They’re a planning guide, not a promise.
No. The estimator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you use the form to send your answers to me.
Pick the closest options and mention it when you ask for the emailed scope. Custom tools, calculators and portals are common, and I’ll scope them properly on a call.
