how to copy a website succesfully

I downloaded a webpage using HTTRACK website copier, i really liked the animated intro but when I downloaded the whole page (300MB) the animated intro didnt work when I openend the page. what did i do wrong?

 

Why not make your own site instead of stealing other peoples hard work?

 

it takes to much time right now so i want to download it

 

You're no better than a common thief, I hope no one helps you, try blackhatworld plenty of like minded criminals there that will probably help you.

 

Careful. There will definitely be copyright legal issues.

It is ok to use someone's website for inspiration and benchmarking but down right copying will create copyright legal issues.

We would not recommend it.

Not just a thief, the mere mention of "animated intro" sets my usability, accessibility and functionality common-sense tingling.

@Arclite, you're not going to find a lot of developers who are exactly... enthusiastic about what you are asking. Quite the opposite in fact, the responses so far have been exceedingly polite given what it is you've said you are doing!

 

Not going to help you. It's like you robbing a bank and me helping you!

 

ok didnt know that i thougt it was legal as long as you change the code, I gues I will create my own animation intro, does anyone recommend goed tutorials, I would like to create a intro something like this .jam3(.)c o m
it looks very diffiult but im in capable to learn it no matter how hard it is.

Animated intro? You mean a splash page? Crap that makes the page take LONGER to load making users navigate away from the site before you're goofy crap even finishes with it's animation?

Not a fan, there's a reason that nonsense has been on every "how not to make a website" list of the past decade and a half.

That Jam3 website being a poster child for everything WRONG with such approaches. If you think that's a good website and something to try and mimic, I'd suggest you sit down and spend some quality time with the WCAG and http://www.nngroup.com/

You want to impress me, get the damned content on the screen FASTER instead of hiding bloated slow scripttardery and inaccessible train-wreck non-semantic pissing on the page any old way code behind some "gee ain't it neat" animooted BS.

No offense, but DAMN! Craptard garbage useless idiotic sites like that are why the web sucks so bad right now, I'm one good "pissed off" away from ripping the cable out of the wall.

 

The page is using something from here: http://particlesjam3.appspot.com/particles/garcia_6 - at least that's what I'm assuming. And if you're gonna use this, you shold at least learn to use something like Firebug to inspect the page - it's not hard.

 

this is a 100% manual work (save source, images, scripts.. etc), but beware of copyright laws
