I have no idea how to develop custom pages on the Magento CMS. I am able to create custom page templates using WordPress though.
Can I carry over any WordPress web development knowledge to develop custom pages on Magento?
I am trying to get an idea of how difficult it might be to develop on a different framework.
I have not tried anything yet. Only wanting to get idea of difficulty level.

You can follow Magento docs to know how to add a page in Magwnto.
Please refer: https://docs.magento.com/m1/ce/user_guide/cms/page-create.html
Magento 1 and 2 work on theming structure – each page is developed using a group of files –
.xml
for structure and calling elements and.phtml
to further display elements. All the logic and processing is done in.php
.I do believe your WP knowledge would be useful as it’s both written in OO PHP. Magento dev docs are a great place to start as it’s a step by step guide. Also, there are tons of tutorials online by big communities and good developers.
Magento is a bigger system so it does take more time to grasp, but it’s not hard. Good luck!
