Have you ever wondered what it takes to recreate a website’s look and feel? As a web developer, I often get requests to build a site that is visually similar to a client’s favorite design. It’s a process known as website cloning, and it’s a powerful way to get a professional, functional website tailored to your specific needs.
Today, I want to show you an example of this process. The goal was to take a popular dog food review site, DogFoodAdvisor.com, and create a new, customized version for a client. The result is FourPawRatings.com.
Original Website: DogFoodAdvisor.com
DogFoodAdvisor.com has become a go-to resource for dog owners looking for detailed reviews and ratings of dog food brands. Its simple, clean layout makes it easy to navigate, with a clear focus on the reviews, ratings, and a section for dog food recalls. The site’s authority and trusted layout were the primary reasons for choosing it as a reference.
The Cloned Website: FourPawRatings.com
For the new project, the client wanted a similar look and functionality but with their own unique branding and content. The goal was to launch a site that could compete in the same niche but with its own identity.
- Customization: The new site, FourPawRatings.com, has a layout that mirrors the original but features a new color scheme, a different logo, and new branding elements.
- Functionality: It maintains the core functionality of the original site, including detailed reviews, ratings, and a clear, easy-to-use navigation system.
This project is a great example of how a well-established website design can be a starting point for a brand-new project, saving time on layout and design while still allowing for complete customization.
