... is quite like the other:



In the realm of web design and web development, there is generally one rule: don't copy someone else's site. First off it's illegal and secondly, it's a quick way to get your name banned in the industry.

I've heard that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but you hate to see so much of this floating around the internet. I usually see sites that find people who copy the look and code from others, but I stumbled upon these on my own. I've kept the site on the left (buzzgraphics.co.uk) on a long list of sites that I bookmark and look at for design inspiration. Then, about a week ago, I found the site on the right (meiio.se).

I emailed both parties and tried to look at www.archive.org and recent DNS changes to see who the guilty party is, but couldn't come up with any solid proof either way.

Needless to say, don't copy and paste someone's site.
