Can you launch a store in two weeks?

Two weeks is realistic only for a very small product list, a layout you have already approved, and payments that are already working. Most Ghana shops need 6 to 10 weeks so checkout and the products are right on day one.

Does the time include my words and photos?

The weeks assume you send the words and the product list, or we agree to write them in the price. Waiting on photos is the usual pause.

How long does an ecommerce website take in Ghana?

A shop with products, checkout, and an admin your team can use usually takes 6 to 10 weeks. A larger shop, with custom operations or a big product list, takes 10 to 16 weeks or more.

The times we actually use

A five-page site with one payment takes 3 to 5 weeks, from GHS 6,000. A real shop, with products, checkout, payments finance can match, and an admin your team can use, takes 6 to 10 weeks, from GHS 14,500.

A larger build starts at GHS 30,000 and takes 10 to 16 weeks or more when it includes a full design, staff logins, and a security review.

Here is an 8-week shop, counted from the day the product list and the Paystack application are both moving.

Week 1: how many products, where you deliver, and the Paystack papers. We do not design from an empty spreadsheet.
Week 2: the pages, the checkout steps, and the jobs your team will do every day.
Weeks 3 and 4: the design, checked against real photos.
Weeks 5 and 6: the product list, checkout, and the Paystack message. We test a failed payment here.
Week 7: you load products. We fix what the data shows. Finance matches a test payment.
Week 8: launch on GHS 129 hosting, send old shop links to the new pages, and name the person for the 90 days of support.

What makes a shop late

The date slips when product names, photos, or delivery rules arrive after the design is approved. Paystack’s checks are the other delay. Start the Paystack application in week 1.
