Hi everyone, I’m planning to launch a personal finance blog with educational articles and downloadable guides. I’ve already hired a freelance designer, but I’m unsure how to plan the timeline. I don’t want to rush the process and sacrifice quality, yet I also don’t want the project to drag on for months. From your experience, what’s a realistic timeframe for designing and preparing a content-driven website like this?

For a content-focused platform, the timeline depends on scope: sitemap complexity, number of templates, branding depth, and revision rounds. On average, a well-structured website design process can take several weeks to a few months. It’s helpful to break it into phases—research, wireframes, visual design, and testing. I recommend reviewing insights on how long to design a website, as it explains typical stages and factors that influence deadlines. Clear communication with your designer and defined milestones will help you stay on track without compromising quality.
