Short answer: a landing page takes 1 to 2 weeks, a 5-page business website 3 to 6 weeks, a redesign 3 to 5 weeks and a migration to Framer 1 to 3 weeks. The biggest factor is not the build. It is how fast content and feedback arrive.
These are the timelines I work to on real projects. Agencies with bigger teams and more meetings usually quote 6 to 10 weeks for a marketing site.

What happens in each phase?
Week 1, discovery and plan. A call about your goals, audience and competitors, then a sitemap, page outlines and a fixed quote.
Weeks 1 to 3, design. The home page is designed first. Once its direction is approved, the rest of the pages follow quickly.
Weeks 2 to 5, build. Pages are built in Framer for desktop, tablet and phone, with CMS, forms and SEO settings.
Final week, launch. Testing, redirects, domain connection, Search Console, and a walkthrough so your team can edit the site.
What slows a website project down?
✓ Content arriving late. Copy and photos are the number one cause of delays.
✓ Too many decision makers. Each extra person adds a round of feedback.
✓ Scope that grows mid-project, like extra pages or features that were not in the plan.
✓ Slow feedback. A 2-day reply instead of a same-day reply adds up across a project.
How can you get your website faster?
✓ Start from a template. A customized free Framer template can be live in 1 to 2 weeks.
✓ Have your copy ready, or ask for copywriting in the quote.
✓ Name one person who gives final feedback.
✓ Launch with the core pages, then add more after launch. Framer makes adding pages easy.
