WordPress Theme Creation

[WhiteDragon]

I would like to have a custom WP theme designed from scratched in a very few number of days (under a week to be exact)

Now I know most people earn a living creating WP themes and I would have to consider myself fortunate if someone came along and could meet my deadline and do it for nothing, but I am not going to count on it. What I am hoping is someone could help me in creating one especially dealing with stuff as in the code part which I have termendous trouble understanding.

I have read numerous web pages on how to create or edit a previous WP and I'm still in the dark about this, which is why I posted this question.

Thank You!

The "Sandbox" theme (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/sandbox) is a sort of "plain vanilla" theme with a rich set of id and class attributes that make it fairly easy to modify just by modification of the CSS style file (and supplying any image files you need). I've used this with good success, unfortunately (for you) on a private site I can not link to here.

Alternatively, you can find a pre-made theme that you like and then convert it to the colors and images you want to use. That's what I did on my "PHP Musings (http://www.charles-reace.com/blog/) blog, which is based on the SunsetIdea theme (http://www.robbiewilliams.pl/wordpress/).

Then you are just using their layout, my theme is very different and original which I'd like to get developed or help to get developed

I think if you posted a photo of what your after you might have more luck in getting a bump of help in the right direction that you need.

Would you like to see a mock up of the blog theme that I created?

Alright, I will take a look I hope I can understand so I can create or edit a blog theme !

Like I said above, take a look at the "sandbox" theme (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/sandbox). It was designed specifically with the concept of being a framework that you can then adapt to many visual styles mainly via the CSS stylesheet (or at worst that and a little modification of the page template code). In fact, you will likely find that many of the themes on the wordpress.org site are derived from it, and those that are not are often derived from other themes there.

Alright, thank you NogDog I will look into the Sandbox theme and the CSS tutorials which you supplied.
