I know there is no definate answer for this but I'm just looking for some general input. About how long would you guess it would take a first time user to skin a site. I know absolutely nothing about umbraco but have devleoped in DotNetNuke for a while. I'm just curious as to any feedback. Also, any links to some videos about skinning and template design or examples css skins I could look at for reference would be awesome. Thanks,
Hello Michael! I would install Warren's CWS (Creative Website Starter) and play around with that in the start. You can find it under Developer > Packages > Umbraco package Repository > Starter Kits . Play around some with this package and look how things are put together, this will help alot!
For your other question, I think you will take it pretty fast if you have worked with familiar stuff before.
it depends if you have a design in mind already or not, but a simple skin should take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on how complicated you want to get, what browsers you want to support an
oops.... cut off my reply. but anyway, with all this talk of skinning, why not have a go at skinning the new blog4Umbraco package as an exercise and see how long it takes.... check out this post to get involved:
