OK. Drupal is up and running. I now have to build an experimental e-commerce website. Do I choose themes first or modules first?

Thanks,
Lou.

I prefer to figure out the functionality (modules) first and then theme.

The best sites make a marriage of form and function like any other good design. Your question suggests that the two aspects are separate and they are not. You develop functionality (modules) within a framework of presentation (theme). Even when there is a team working on different aspects, there needs to be close interaction to create a successful result.
Although I broadly agree with nevets, I would always want to see function from the end-user's point of view so would work on modules and theme together.

Yes, I thought so. My inclination is to start with modules. I just hope not to have to redo work after choosing themes.
Thanks again.
