My answer to How long should I budget for an experienced designer to design a responsive ecommerce store? on Quora
There’s no single answer to this—it depends on the scope of the project. A one-page store selling 3 items is quicker to design than a thousand page store with dozens of category homepages etc.
I suggest putting together a brief and getting estimates from a number of different designers—that should give you a pretty good idea of how long it should take.
