 Folks,

 Now that some of us have been doing RWD for a little while, I was just
 wondering, on average, how long it takes some of you to code a typical
 page. I know there are many variables involved, so let's just focus on
 your run of the mill layout. Header, Primary Navigation, Secondary
 Navigation, Content, Aside and Footer. No scripting of any kind - just
 layout.

 If I estimate that it will take me 4 hours to construct a page built on
 a fluid grid, I currently add 2 more hours to handle any
 responsive/breakpoint needs.

 Kind Regards,
 Spell

That's about on par with us. Half again - at least - as much for
different breakpoints. Like you say, there are usually many unknown
variables...
