How ecommerce websites get built: timelines, phases, discovery, QA and launch planning.
A typical custom ecommerce website takes 8–16 weeks to build. Discovery and UX design usually take weeks 1–4, development runs from weeks 5–12, and QA, optimization and launch happen in weeks 13–16. Simpler stores land near the shorter end, while headless builds, B2B portals, large data migrations and ERP integrations push toward the longer end.
