How long does开发者_开发问答 it usually take to develop a theme for magento? I'm considering venturing in learning Magento.

It really depends how proficient you are with html, css, javascript and what tools you are using. I can tell that throughout planned theme will take a good slicer at least 2 days to master. Add the design time and usually it takes more time to design than to slice and dice it to end result.

If you have never used Magento before then it will take at least 6 months to become a somewhat good in designing and developing Magento in a way that it will take 2 days to output a theme

I recently attended the UK Magento Meetup & there were a couple of presentations from Retailers & their implementation partners about creating multi-store Magento websites, especially creating new store fronts for different countries (English, French, etc)

In each presentation the design agencies reckoned it took 3-4 weeks to implement a new store front - I believe this included design & template creation (but may also have included time to do the translation files, etc).

What was certain, is that nobody appeared to be suggesting that a template could be knocked out & implemented within 2 days. You should think about spending 2 days just testing ....
