How to clone a website

If you want to practice your website-making skills, you don't always have to start from scratch to find ideas and write boilerplate. With a little knowledge of HTML and CSS, you can get a head-start by cloning an existing site. Just make sure you use these powers for the forces of good, not evil.

this is a beautiful way to boost our coding skills and learn from fully functional websites and codes

[@edwinreyes3998]

I'm going to dedicate entire days to just looking up website source codes!!

[@liemeister9593]

I almost didn't want to upvote in fear of losing this feeling that I know something valuable that most people don't. This video deserves so much more than 4.3K upvotes! This knowledge is power friends

[@Supremeondc]

this aint reddit luh bro its called a like 😂

[@mTrader1]

sometimes i do that too lol

[@Stallzyx]

A quicker way to copy the index html file is to do CTRL-U as a shortcut or add "view-source:" to the beginning of the URL :)

[@jacktech1132]

Thanks! It worked

[@kee04O]

ths！！！ but what about the css file or js file. sometimes it's difficult to find it. And i just a beginner

[@CoconutwCoco]

Anyone knows the other video she talks about? Can’t find it. Great video tw thanks!

[@aldisilvia]

Hello thank you for the video. I have been trying for several mounts to learn coding and i believe this is the best way to learn it faster. Please let me know if you have any online courses thank you.

[@codecademy]

Hello! You can check out our course catalog here: www.codecademy.com/catalog

[@xafahpodraza6062]

never subbed so quick b4.

[@tonyruiz8729]

Right click in a website > Save as..., 3 seconds

[@m1-gg5qz]

Video is good, but I think developing a section is faster than copying from other websites and spending time to understand other developer code.

[@brothersINtawheed]

Hey, I am pretty much behind with my task to publish an eCommerce site..
Kindly share an updated link of the video where you have shared the same..
Thank You.

[@akifedar6231]

Hi Maggie,
I find the information useful for webpage designers students like me who knows html and css but not javascript or python yet.
thanks

[@ovskihouse5270]

Thanks a lot, im newbie in developing that well help me.

[@Earth_By_Board]

I want to completely copy a website online from a business overseas and change a few things to make it mine to use in my country is that easy?

[@thefanofnone]

This is not actually cloning anything. Most of that HTML was generated using python, php, or some scripting language. What she captured was just a snapshot in time. Static HTML is basically useless unless all you want to do is mess around with CSS styles.

[@dabesnyam29]

You sure?

[@Pato_YT_]

Please what’s the text editor you used ??

[@MrOuzin91]

very helpful and comprehensive. thanksss

[@charlieblinkz3238]

Hey bro did it work?

[@daniseflores]

Does this apply to all websites? I tried doing it to one but I can't find the html code unless I click on the "view page source" instead.

[@DoctorKnockBoots]

Hey Maggie,
Are you for hire? I’d like a price quote or a project I need done. How can we talk?

[@jazzhippie3878]

Im available...Good rates as well

[@garrettstevensen2467]

@@jazzhippie3878 Are you available for hire? What's your price? I need a site cloned... of course, I will need to edit it too, later.

[@scrambledwords7722]

Hey

[@manoharchoudhary2682]

thank you so much didi ap ka 4 min ka video ma hamara kam ho gaya,,Harshika is glad that you made this video and dhvani subscribes you channel, and faiz left......

[@Calaneet]

Thank you for your tutorial. Can a company's website know if it has been copied or has tried to be copied? Without the cloned / copycat site being launched, of course.

[@chigozieobialor1245]

Yes it will know if it was plagiarised but if you edit the class, id, function name etc then it won't. They have a copyright to their website therefore it is an offence to plagiarise their work.

[@doneilchapman1542]

Thank you, Maggie! You're really good teacher.

[@johnsonbrown5735]

Excellent Maggie👏🏼

[@swtpeteswtpete1515]

Great job but maybe 1.125x too slow.. also, when you click or right click and do Open or Open Page, viewer cannot see where or how you're doing so, nor is helped if we are on Linux , formerly Windows, and I saw you're on Mac..

[@2nacademy]

Thank you it was very useful

[@Abu_osama_al_yemeni]

[@talktoakam]

Hi, how to translate a website or make a site multilingual from the source code

[@jokkiossaka3306]

You can't copy the php files... only html and css

[@alexxbloomofficial]

how you determined that its style.css

[@rossmcloughlin9413]

Or you could just File | Save As

[@FraternalHouse]

The text editor she is using is called: BRACKETS......

[@ryan-chase]

Using wget from the terminal to download *ALL* of the assets for a site (images, style sheets, etc.) with a single command is a *MUCH* better way of downloading all of a site's contents..

[@ToddDolce]

what is wget?

[@yusufrazakhan2443]

really helpfull thanks

[@IlyasChaudhary]

Thanks Codecademy team for this nice and valuable trick for html/css coding process....

[@king0vdarkness]

May I ask if you have videos on publishing websites?

[@i80Avery]

I watched so many times

[@regionalrail54]

Hi Maggie, this there a script out there that will allow me to edit in Visual Editing (edit website like you are seeing it) as well as image changing. Something just like wikipedia and the feature Visual Editing when inserting more or deleting text? Cheers Maggie

[@ovskihouse5270]

This tutorial recommended thnks

[@ln5757]

what about the images though?

[@CommDao]

Is it preferred to copy from Inspector instead of right clicking the page, viewing page source, and copying the HTML/CSS from that?

[@w0mblemania]

No. It's much easier just to view the page source and click on the CSS links.
You don't have to go through all this copy and pasting stuff at all.

[@austinebasil7057]

Hi Lady Maggie!
I really appreciate you for this video tutorial. I really find it very useful and all steps and your explanations where very detained. Thanks and God bless. I wish to watch more of your tutorial videos.

[@sarahmiles5633]

Hi austine

When I go to open file & search then I cannot find index or style.css

I really wanna copy and paste my spinner from another site that I customized and then customize it on my site

[@victorpaulson5712]

So what about the other external links in the html code what do we do about them ?

[@clayburkhead7992]

Hello, I'm trying to copy the elements from my new tab page using the New Tab Studio Chrome extension so I can reference a local file for a screensaver plugin I have on my macbook. I have copied everything in the inspect element panel for index.html and main.css but nothing loads when I open it in Chrome. Is there a reason this won't work locally? Thanks for a great video!

[@PaylessTravelBurwood]

Hi Maggie, thank for the nice knowledgeable video. I have my own PHP website that I need to migrate to WordPress, can I do the same way? or please advise.

[@cbmage]

thanks Gabby i love you

[@4BroGame]

Hey maggie I cloned a website and now I am opening that website code in vs code editor but after doing the necessary editing only text is changing not the images. Like I am putting my image URL on the place of website image URL but after saving it and opening it with live server the preview is showing me the images of cloned website not mine and in inspect element it is showing the image code of cloned website not mine why. I am trying from 6 hours and nothing is works for me. Will you plz tell me how can I change the images and edit it.

[@moniegizzleful]

This was great, thanks!

[@growingtogether35]

and people telling me it cost 1 grand to clone a single small web page make simple edits and avoid plagiarism suits.
Coders who think it some secret wizardry give the business a bad name this video makes it so clear its not worth 1 grand.

[@connieiloh7468]

This is good for starters like me. I will try it out. Thank you Maggie. I wish I have you live every day for my everyday questions when stock. Thanks again.

[@ryantoth531]

hmm I don't have a spot for index.. when copying the HTML do I have to copy each folder.

[@Seth.Chatterley]

How do I display the website on local with my IP address?

[@lbrahimmuhammed2296]

Hi Maggie thanks for the video, the web site I intend to clone, the index(HTML)code is not opening at the source, what do I do?

[@KamilKartal]

Thanks. Could you please tell me a way to see in the inspect section when a specific page of a website was first published and when was updated / edited? I tried to find this answer in many ways for a website but its all locked, I mean there is no such information on the pages.

[@king0vdarkness]

legally, can I clone a website and then edit it to make it my own live website? Would I just have to change the javascript to make it my own?

[@faadra]

Great video. Does anybody know, how to copy that css file so that it is legible and not jumbled?

[@mozziezapper]

Yes

[@andreipop9587]

Yes, in atom for instance you can install an extension called beautify which enables you to clean up jumbled code and lay it out hierachically.

[@moonraker2114]

Oh wow! Thank you so much sweetie. Bless you real good. Stay well!

[@mihirkrishna]

Thanks

[@modernlegend_gaming]

why dont u tell us what editor u are using and i got lost after i made the files in the chrome editor and dont know how to navigated what i did to a preview of site u just skipped this in ur video all together

[@johnjohn430]

@codecademy Any Chance you could do a video of how to take a website and change it into a program on my computer? i Want to make some small changes and add some stuff to what they have but I want it to be on my computer

[@MukeshKumar-co5ky]

I tried this but whenever I share website with someone, then in the description it shows the description of original website not mine😐

[@asifhossain2088]

thank you

[@SIRA063]

i tried doing this, what appeared on my screen was nothing like the site.

[@miloszivkovic6922]

Hm, will main file execute original commands when you type something from cloned file?

[@myabcexperts9226]

Great content. Very helpful

[@fusehenry]

Excellent video. Very helpful.

[@ferrellscott]

why save each item via 'inspect element'... why not just save the entire page and it's contents via Ctrl + S > save as > index.html... which saves index.html with sub-folder full of it's content e.g. main.css? sure it's nice to see that you can review & edit the code using the chrome devtools... but i don't see where it is useful WRT cloning a website. instead i think that you prob lost a lot of people.

[@sulmanrasheed007]

Thanks ma'am. It helped alot.

[@sabuein]

Thank you, Maggie.

are your fees to develop a website expensive ??
