Page count is only one part
A five-page website can still vary widely depending on content quality, custom sections, imagery, forms, landing pages, animations, and SEO requirements.
Content readiness affects timeline
If your business already has a logo, service descriptions, photos, domain, and examples, the first version can move faster. If not, the scope should include structure and content planning.
Apps and portals need feature scoping
A website is usually page-led, while an app or portal is workflow-led. User roles, dashboards, data, bookings, payments, notifications, and admin screens should be scoped before quoting.
