Comment on Poll: How do you create the website for your startup or side project?

Comments

I have a side project that I fiddle with in my spare time. Reading about something unrelated, I stumbled across a site with a really nice layout/presentation.

I'll be honest: My side project is a straight-up rip off of that other site's layout. I did all my own assets in photoshop but the actual design is theirs. I don't feel bad, either. I reverse-engineered their design into piecrust and just rolled with it.

Made me feel like I was 13 years old again, viewing the source for someone's Geocities page so I could figure out how they wrote their javascript to move things around sinusoidally.
