: Crawling retail websites to use as templates I'm setting up a commerce website. I really like the Overstock website, and I was wondering if could simply crawl the website for the webpages, remove

Downloading another site's code, removing their branding, and re-uploading as your own site will get you in trouble sooner or later. Don't do that.

Besides, it won't work. Complex sites have more going on than just the final HTML output. There's a ton of moving parts and server-side code just to get to the output. You are strongly encouraged to build your look and brand and if Overstock influences you, great. If you aren't able to build it yourself, a quick look around e-commerce template sites will reveal templates that are inspired by Overstock and you can purchase one of those.
