How much time does it take to do a site?

For me it took a few weeks to finnish my site: Yourdirectory. But I guess that it's easier when you code it all in html.

 

Looks good for starters. I'm noticing a few grammatical errors such as
"Got to our directory list" instead of "Go to our directory list".

I can put a basic site op in a few minutes, but it takes much longer to make a large site, and that is almost always my goal.

 

First I would have to learn Finnish

But after that setting up a site should take a couple of weeks - deciding on SEO themes for the site, sections, and individual pages - setting up good navigation, selecting a color scheme, and branding - then designing the site.

Adding additional content, and making 'tweaks' are an ongoing process that should never be considered 'finnished'.

 

Depending on the site a few days to two weeks.

 

Initial setup, less then 2 hrs, after that it's ongoing.

 

Depends on what kind of site it is. It can be 10 seconds to months.

 

I mean a serious site that will bring you lots of money

 

Same thing. Back in 2003 I spent maybe a week working on Amazon sites, and BANG!!! Over the next six months they made around $13,000!! Then the competition came along!

And now there's the sandbox!

 

I put up an Australian site in one week or about 60 hours of effort. Finnish sites would take me a long time, since I'd have a steep learning curve with the language.

 

It takes a long time but a lot less if know the ancient art of html

 

Well, you can make a website in a few hours, using something like Yahoo sitebuilder. but how long does it take, to make a realy good website? to learn the art of making an amazing website, will take many months, especially if you include coding of any kind.

 

I reccomend Dreamweaver (that's what I use + my programming knowledge) or I've seen a lot of people use MS Frontpage.

Please be more specific in your question - how much time does it take you to do a site. It depends if it's a mini-site, 1 page sales-letter page, or a full-fledged site?

 

Ok, I mean real big site with lots of pages

 

There can be no one answer to this question.

It depends on what type of site it is,where the content is coming from etc.

I have a friend who has been working on his site for months now..he even quit his job for it..but hasnt finished it yet.

I am working on a new site..its a simple html site - but still I may take a long time to complete it as I am writing everything by myself and am not able to write more than 5-7 pages in a day.
