How to Clone a Website?

How to clone a website depends on how it was built. It can be easy to make a copy or a challenge depending on:

  • If you have access to the website code of the site that you want to make a copy
  • If the website is using open source software (like WordPress.org)
  • If the site is using page builder software like Weebly, Wix, WordPress.com
  • If the site is using an online database
Adrienne is very professional and easy to work with. She has great ideas and gets things done fast. We worked with a couple of other firms and found that they way overcharges, too way too much time with a lot of unnecessary busy work. Adrienne is no nonsense and very fair pricing. I highly recommend her.
Outstanding service. Prompt and clear communication. Fast and complete. Would use again and highly recommend.

FAQ

If you own the website you want to copy, yes.

Using a website that someone else owns as inspiration for a new website project is ethical.  Taking an exact design and/or content is not.  (Don’t ask me to do this, I won’t.)

If you have access to the web hosting account, making a copy of a website is much easier.

If you are using website builder software, cloning a website is going to be more like a rebuild. By this I mean, the code can not be taken and copied (the content and images can though), A new site would have to be built to match what it currently looks like. The same concept applies if you see a website that you like and want to use for inspiration. A web developer can build a new site that has a similar look and functionality, but it would be build from scratch.

There are a lot of factors that determine how easy or difficult it is to clone a site.  Cloning a WordPress site where you have access  to the admin area, I can do within an hour.  Cloning a website from a website builder could take a couple hours up to 20 or more depending on the size of the site.  Contact me for a free estimate to clone your site.

A website clone is an actual copy of the website code. This means the source code, database and all content. When you want to build a website with similar functionality to a website you do not own, this is new web design and development. Sure I can design and develop a new website for you.
