The short answer: between one week and one month of work, depending on the type of site. The useful answer is another one: the timeline is set, above all, by when the content arrives.
Here are timelines by type of site, what "business days" means exactly, what moves the date the most, and what you can prepare in advance so your project lands on time.
Timelines by type of site
| Type of site | Typical timeline | What’s being done |
|---|---|---|
| Ready made template | 1 to 3 days | Filling in an existing design |
| Landing page | 1 to 2 weeks | One page, one goal |
| Corporate website | 3 to 6 weeks | Several pages, blog, positioning |
| Online store | 4 to 12 weeks | Catalog, cart and card payments |
| Custom platform | 3 months or more | Bookings, internal systems, new features |
These are working timelines: they count from when the builder has everything needed to start. That detail is the one that helps most with planning.
What "business days" means
A business day is a working day: Monday to Friday, without weekends or public holidays. To turn it into calendar time, divide by five and you get weeks. Ten business days are two weeks; twenty are almost a month.
Then add holidays. The Dominican Republic has around twelve a year, several moved to the nearest Monday, plus Good Friday. A twenty business day project starting the week before Easter ends in five weeks, not four. If your launch depends on a date, ask for both: the business days and the delivery date on the calendar.
How the time is spent
- Kickoff. Which pages exist, what each says and what the site must achieve. This is where the rest is set up to flow.
- Structure and design. How it looks and in what order information appears. The stage where you take part the most.
- Build. The programming. Usually less than half of the project.
- Review. You see it finished and note changes. One round of changes is included in the timeline.
- Launch. Domain pointed, analytics connected, site live and submitted to Google.
What moves the date the most
1. Content
Copy, photos, the logo in good quality, the list of services with their prices. Our timelines count from when we receive your copy and images, because a page is laid out on its content. Gather this before starting and you gain weeks:
- A paragraph per service or product, written the way you’d explain it on the phone.
- The logo in its original file.
- Ten to twenty good photos. Phone photos are fine if well lit.
- Prices, if you’ll publish them. Deciding them takes time.
- Exact phone, address and hours, as you want them to appear.
2. Who decides
A project approved by three partners moves at the pace of the conversation between the three. The fix is simple: name one decision maker and have the others give their input to that person.
3. External paperwork
The domain, if you already have one: whose name it’s in and who has the password. For a redesign, access to the previous site. And for card payments, the merchant account, which in the Dominican Republic means CardNet, Azul or Portal. The processor approves it with your company documents, so it works best to start it the same day the project starts. That way the store and the approval arrive together.
4. The catalog, if you sell
Each product needs a name, description, price, variants, stock and at least one photo. Forty products fit the normal timeline; four hundred are planned with their own schedule from the start.
5. Additions along the way
Every new page or feature adds days. On a corporate site, an extra page usually adds one or two. You can add whatever is needed; the date is simply recalculated.
Included in the normal pace
Mobile. Designed for phones from the first sketch, since most traffic arrives there.
Technical SEO. Page metadata, sitemap and structured data are done during the build. What takes months is Google ranking you, and that happens with the site live.
Pointing the domain. Minutes to do; propagation takes minutes to a few hours. Done on launch day with margin.
Our timelines
| Package | Timeline | Calendar | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | 7 business days | about 2 weeks | RD$35,000 (about US$600) |
| Corporate Website | 15 business days | about 3 weeks | RD$85,000 (about US$1,450) |
| Online Store | 30 business days | about 6 weeks | RD$165,000 (about US$2,800) |
They count from when we have your copy and images, with price and timeline fixed in writing before we start. If you need several landing pages for different campaigns, each extra one on the same design base is RD$15,000 (about US$250) and comes out faster than the first.
The other half of this question is in how much a website costs in the Dominican Republic.
Prices are set in Dominican pesos. Dollar figures are approximate, at RD$59 per US$1 (September 2026).
