I can only estimate how long it will take to build your site. I allot 20-30 hours for a base build/standard site, so in theory your site could be completed within 20-30 hours. Naturally this is unrealistic as I am a freelance developer and my work time is divided up with other client's requests and standard hour workdays.

These are common things that slow a website build time:

1. My workload.
2. Your workload.
3. Other client emergencies (e.g. eCommerce store errors that need to be fixed immediately by me).
4. Slow supply of content (e.g. images, videos, copy text, artwork etc.)
5. Slow email or call replies on both sides, this falls under and is usually caused by workload. It is great to say this won't happen, but we live in the real world with real time limits.
