When do you need your site completed? This should be made very clear from the outset. Depending on the complexity of your site, it can take considerable time to develop. Allow enough time for development and collecting information. If your timetable is not realistic for your site design, then use a temporary solution that gets you "online" within your timeframe with a reduced presence.

Please, no “under construction” pages! A web page indicating your expected web site launch with a brief overview of your company and contact info is more effective and professional.As your site is developed, new pages and features can be added.
