An exact, fully editable copy of any website you own or have rights to: same design, same functionality, rebuilt on a clean stack that belongs to you.
A website clone is a rebuilt copy of an existing website that looks and behaves like the original: the same layouts, typography, colors, animations, forms and page structure. The difference is under the hood. Instead of screenshots or scraped, broken markup, you get a clean, organized codebase or WordPress setup that you fully own and can edit without restrictions.
People come to us for cloning when they need to:
We do not use automated scrapers that produce a single tangled HTML file. Every clone is rebuilt by a developer: structure first, then styles, then interactions, then content. That is why our copies stay easy to maintain years later.
You send the link and confirm ownership or permission. Within one business day you get a fixed price and timeline.
We recreate the page skeletons, navigation and templates on a clean WordPress theme or static stack.
Fonts, spacing, colors, animations and breakpoints are matched against the original side by side.
We transfer content and metadata, connect forms and analytics, deploy to your hosting and hand over all access.
Cloning a website is legal when you own the site or have permission from the owner. It is also legitimate to rebuild the underlying layout structure of a page without reproducing copyrighted content, text, images and brand assets. What is not acceptable is copying someone else’s website wholesale to impersonate or compete with them, and we decline such requests.
Before every project we run a short rights check: proof of ownership, written permission, or a scope reduced to structure-only. It takes minutes and protects both sides. If you are unsure whether your case qualifies, ask us first; we will give you a straight answer for free.
Only with the owner's written permission, or in a structure-only scope where we rebuild the layout skeleton without copyrighted text, images or branding. We decline projects aimed at impersonating or free-riding on someone else's work.
Yes. We match the original's responsive behavior on standard breakpoints, and improve it where the original was broken, with your approval.
Yes. Interactive elements are rebuilt with clean JavaScript or reliable WordPress plugins. Complex custom features (accounts, payments, custom backends) are quoted separately after review.
A live website on your hosting and domain, full admin access, all source files, and a short handover document with every credential and instruction. Nothing stays locked on our side.
Absolutely. Rebranding while cloning is common: same structure, your colors, fonts, logo and content. Mention it in the request and we will include it in the fixed quote.
