 * Didnt know exactly where to post this but I recently been trying to learn how
   to design themes. I know HTML5 CSS and all that and have a pretty good under 
   standing of PHP, cant develop PHP by scratch yet but I can tell what code is 
   trying to do or manipulate it to work.
 * Anyway, my question is this, for those of you that develop and design themes,
   do most of you do it as a team or all by yourself? I am trying to do it by myself,
   but if I find out that almost no one creates them by there themselves without
   some help, then I might as well find a partner. If not, Ill continue to try and
   do them myself.
 * Most of this is pertaining to the commercial themes that costs 40+ etc.
 * Also if anyone can help out with that question, I might as well add, about how
   long does it take most of you to create them(ballpark range). Like weeks, months,
   etc?
 * Thanks.

 * Personally, I’ve always worked by myself. In my experience, so do a lot of theme
   developers.
 * And a theme can take anything from a couple of weeks to a few months to create.

 * We can only give a vague answer because of this.

 * I have to agree that it is rather a “How long is a piece of string” question.
   It really depends upon how much you want to put into a theme in terms of functionality
   and extra options.

 * And how long it takes you personally, or the people you work with. There are 
   too many variables.
