My first website was when I made my Shopify store, I felt like I would get more business if I had a user friendly website. I spent around $650 created the website and buying ll the necessary things to build and design it like a domain and designs like HTML and Wordpress. From their many of my clients asked about my website and who deigned it and created it and after that I designed and created a couple of websites for some of my clients. I use Wix as a rough draft of what the website will look like. Then after I get my approval from client I move on to the actual site and start working on that. The amount of Time it will take depends on what the website is on and how complex it's going to be.
