How long does it usually take you to make a DIV overlay? Options

[clarity]

For a good one, about 2 hours. Depending if I take a break or not.

The design takes me forever, as many already stated. The coding takes 10 minutes. So well yea.

I'm so jealous of you and everyone else who knows coding like the back of their hands; if I'm coding and get into coding brain (yeah, there is apparently such a thing), I can do it real quick for me which is like, less than an hour...but that's also pretty much copying and pasting cB's scripts.

But making a new DIV overly is taking increasingly longer; originally it was a few hours because my graphics...left a lot to be desired, and the more I've seen the layouts here, the more I know what looks good so the design side, the Photoshopping + my need for perfection (seriously, talk about detail orientated) = lots and lots of days.

I like Lanochka's idea of having a few sets of base codes though.

it usually only takes me about 30 minutes. ive never really tried to put alot of work,effort, and detail into a layout. Which i would say that would be a downfall for me, but i just get frustrated too easily. so i stick with the simple layout look. I suppose one day i will actually attempt to spend alot of time on one.

you guys work ubber fast O_O its takes me A LONG TIME to make a div. About a day making the design. =/ Yes I'm slow

[dalenaadsiqnz]

10 Minutes - 1.5 Hours. :D Chyeahh, DIVS are the only kind of layouts I would ever make for my myspace

EDIT: It takes me 2-4 hours now, thanks to the picture verification. :l Rawr.

[*Intercourse.*]

WOAH Mark, 3 hours!

My up to the top divs that have a lot of neat little things maybe an hour or two. Or when I'm doing it for a job or something.

Myspace divs though, psh at the most they take about 30 minutes to code so the colors are perfect and their aligned in most resolutions and work in most common browsers. I can code most for about 5-10 mintues. Especially most request, I had a ton of practice helping people while on staff.

[StrangeMagic]

for me it varies depending on how complicated the div's design is in the first place

[FoxLucky]

Wow. And I just looked at your myspace, it looks so . . . nice.

You can make your own, it's 5thirtyone

[*insurmountable*]

wow, 13 votes for 3 hours.

[*The Markster*]

Wow, I don't feel that slow anymore.
I still really wish I could design and code faster .. bleh.

[*ersatz*]

I'm extremely meticulous about everything, so it usually only takes me 30 minutes to actually make the layout, but with all the finishing touches, it can sometimes take five hours. That's why I stopped doing them...

[RCKstarh]

it takes me a while nd i usually dont do it all at once

[NYCin2009]

Haha i usually work on photoshop for an hour a day for a few days until i have it how i want it, and then it takes about two hours to get the divs exactly how i want them. Then however long it takes me to fill it with content. By the time i finish filling it with stuff i want to make a new one.

[Dominiloka]

with all the coding and what not takes me about 2hours to complete a DIV.

[Xoul]

takes me an extremely long time since i always take breaks in between xD i always like to try different stylesheets though. but if its something really easy and simple, i can do it in about 2 hours :P

[S-Majere]

Heh, anything from several hours to a week depending on the complexity of the design. Coding usually takes me a lot less longer; say 30 minutes to an hour.

[falsetigerlimbs]

It takes me 3+ hours, always. But I also have to draw the figures for my layouts, so that adds a lot of time onto it.

[*karmakiller*]

It depends. If I'm trying to do something new or include some new tricks into it, it will probably take me longer. Making the image usually takes me the longest, because I tend to be indecisive. Coding goes pretty fast, though.

[Just2Fresh]

Sadly ive never been able to do one >.>

[ipetpandas]

I voted 3 hours, though I take days on and off on my layouts. -_- But it pays off. Lol.
