Most websites can be copied but there are counter measures that your web developer can employ to restrict the risk of cloning. The type of websites that are often cloned include e-commerce shopping sites, travel booking sites, and banks. The clone site can either look exactly like the original, or it may simply be similar in design and content. That’s were an expert investigator can assist with collecting evidence to prove that the similarity is not merely a coincidence.
