Most Signal sites go from first text to live in a couple of weeks. The design preview usually lands within days of the first call, because we build it before we take any money.
The part that stretches timelines is almost never the build. It is waiting on photos, passwords, or a decision on the words. Come prepared with those and the calendar shrinks fast.
Need it sooner? Say so on the first text. Two people, one number, and no agency queue means we can move when you can.
The real timeline, step by step
Day one: you text us the brief. Days two to four: the preview is live and you click through it. Approval to launch: about a week of finishing pages, setup, and search work.
Compare that to the six-week timelines most Detroit agencies quote, and most of the difference is meetings.
What slows builds down
Three things, in order: photos nobody can find, logins nobody remembers, and copy that needs one more week of thinking. None of them are the actual build.
We will tell you exactly what we need on day one so nothing sits in a queue.
Rush jobs
We have launched sites inside a week when the material was ready. There is no rush fee; there is just a shorter list of open questions.
Tell us the date you need it live on the first text and we will tell you straight whether it is possible.
Quick answers.
When can you start?
Usually the same week you text. The preview follows within days.
How long until the preview?
Typically two to four days from your first call.
What do you need from me?
A short brief, your logo, photos if you have them, and your hours and prices.
What if I need changes after launch?
Text us. Small changes are same-day, and care plans cover them monthly.
