I am a copywriter, and I am not the most patient person you have ever met. So when I decided to make my CV look good and replace a good old PDF file with a portfolio website, I needed to do it quickly, until I had a change of heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How long does it take to build a website<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Too long, if you are in a hurry: at least 4-6 weeks if it is a small 10- or 15-page site. A <\/span><b>time frame<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> depends on the structure, CMS system, design, niche, contractors, procedures, etc. I started to look for an alternative solution with a minimum effort and time required for launching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Actually, it takes from one day to three months to create a website<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>. <\/strong>It is not necessary to start from scratch. If you need a landing page, it is more efficient to use <strong>WordPress (1-2 days)<\/strong> or <strong>site builders (1 hour if the content is ready)<\/strong>. I tried both options for my copywriter CV, and a website builder turned out to be more convenient. Even with zero knowledge in IT, you can create a small website in a day (if you have content to fill the pages with) and easily edit content and structure in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It all started with the research and resulted in the \u201cexpectation\/reality\u201d situation, or rather \u201c<\/span><b>web development<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vs. website builders.\u201d I will focus on using the latter because of my personal positive experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d3e259349e4\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d3e259349e4\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-website\/#Launching_Websites_in_an_Old-school_Way_Using_CMS\" >Launching Websites in an Old-school Way: Using CMS<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-website\/#A_few_words_about_Prices\" >A few words about Prices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-a-website\/#Bottom_line\" >Bottom line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Launching_Websites_in_an_Old-school_Way_Using_CMS\"><\/span><strong>Launching Websites in an Old-school Way: Using CMS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Time for website creation: from 2 days to 2 months.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, we think of a <\/span><b>custom website<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a long-term and time-consuming project.

You don\u2019t need any directions on how to create an account or fill in your profile, right? Using a website builder is pretty much the same. The interface is intuitive, all features\/blocks\/controls are easy to manage. I decided to mention the <\/span><b>amount of time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> used for completing each step listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 1. Do some research\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a good website builder. It takes a couple of hours to Google the most popular options, to check reviews, and to learn about functionality and pricing. I decided to go with Weblium in approximately <strong>2 hours<\/strong> because of a wide selection of templates, simplicity, affordability, and first-class support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 2. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.weblium.com\/signup\">Sign up and login\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes <strong>less than a minute.<\/strong> Enter your name, email, and password and click on \u201cSign up\u201d or login with a Facebook or Google account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 3.

I decided that Portfolio &amp; CV is the best place to look up for a copywriter website template. Weblium allows <strong>previewing a template before choosing it<\/strong>. That\u2019s how I found out that a CV\/Worker Portfolio is a better option than Writer. It will take <strong>half an hour<\/strong> at most to check out and compare the templates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10781 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-1000x570.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"885\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-1000x570.png 1000w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-200x114.png 200w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-400x228.png 400w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14-418x238.png 418w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image14.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 4.

Users can change all the texts and images on a homepage, menu sections, click actions, text styles, add\/delete blocks and pages, etc. Hovering tips will help to figure out how this works. Using a template doesn\u2019t affect your creativity: a website will look just as good as a <\/span><b>custom<\/b><b>&#8211;<\/b><b>designed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 5.
