How long does it take to develop a premium Shopify theme from scratch?

I would like to know how long it would take for a complete newbie to develop a premium theme (modern design, scroll driven animations, JS and CSS features, etc..) from scratch in your opinion.

I know it can vary but just to take a good guess from people that have already developed themes for Shopify.

I am thinking in 2 to 3 months, is that a realistic deadline?

I have done a soft research and I ended up with this timeframe, I would like to hear from Shopify experienced users though. Could you please share your thoughts?

Cheers!

Wow, 7 days? Could you elaborate please? As the previous message says 2 to 3 months.

If you dedicatedly focus on development then u will easly complete theme in 15 day. Buts still depends on requirement like pdp designs, navbar options, animations and most important pdp functionalities
