Website Replication Standards
A website replica is not only about copying the look. It must preserve design, content, responsiveness, SEO, forms, integrations, tracking, performance, accessibility, and business behavior.

Replication Types — Define This First
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pixel-Perfect Replica | Same layout, spacing, colors, typography, responsiveness — very low tolerance. |
| Functional Replica | Same user flows and features, UI can be improved. |
| Migration Replica | Same website rebuilt on a new platform (React, WeWeb, Bubble). |
| Modernized Replica | Keep brand/content but improve UX, speed, SEO, accessibility. |
| Backend Replica | Same frontend, backend/CMS/API rebuilt. |
| CMS Replica | Same design but editable through a CMS. |
Definition of Done
Best Rule
1. Visual design?
2. Content?
3. User flows?
4. CMS/admin editing?
5. SEO structure?
6. Integrations?
7. Tracking?
8. Performance?
9. Mobile behavior?
10. Backend/database behavior?If only the design is copied but forms, SEO, integrations, and responsive behavior are broken — the project is not complete.
