You should determine the number of pages during the planning (requirements/discovery) phase — specifically when you define scope and create the information architecture/sitemap.

Why and what to do then:
- The sitemap/information-architecture step defines all top-level pages, sections and content types.
- Produce a page list (sitemap) and pair it with wireframes for key templates.
- This lets you estimate time, cost, content needs, navigation and SEO impacts.
- Note: in agile projects the page count may be refined during development, but an initial page list is still created in the planning phase to set scope and estimates.
