actually i think first people use PSD to create it. Then they slice it up into HTMl. After that, use wordpress codes to code it...

how hard it is, i dont know.

 

Thanks Toby,
Wordpress is a coding itself? or PHP?

Great Link I think this is what I'm looking for, I'll have a nice read

 

Wordpress is a mixture of HTML and PHP. You create the theme by using HTML and WPs PHP template tags. The link to the Codex will be very helpful for you.

 

most of the code is in php and also in css
