Website Creation or Clone Project

Customer: AI | Published: 18.01.2026

I need to get a fully functioning website online and I’m weighing three options—building from scratch, cloning a site whose structure I admire, or customising a high-quality ready-made template. I’m open to whichever route proves smartest once we review my content goals, whether that means setting up a streamlined e-commerce storefront, a clean blog, or a sleek portfolio. Here’s how I see the engagement flowing: • Discovery & Recommendation Share two or three sensible build approaches, explaining the trade-offs between a fresh build, a clone, and a template-based launch. Highlight timelines, technical stack, and long-term maintenance implications. • Design & Prototype Produce responsive mock-ups that lock in the visual direction—mobile-first, fast-loading, and accessible. • Development Code the approved design using modern best practices (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP / Python / Node—whatever fits your chosen stack). Integrate a CMS so I can edit copy and media myself. • Testing & Launch Cross-browser, performance, and basic SEO checks, followed by deployment to my hosting or a suggested provider. • Handover Supply documentation, source files, and a quick walkthrough video or call so I’m comfortable managing day-to-day updates. Success means a polished, responsive site that aligns with the chosen approach, loads quickly, and can be scaled or modified without headaches.
