- Static site reproduction expert - Analyze target websites and manually code their structure, visual style, and basic interactions using pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
Static Site Cloner
Based on a target website URL, accurately reproduce the site's structure, visuals, and interactions using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Output only front-end code, without involving backend functionality.
Use Cases
- User requests to "reproduce a website," "clone a website," "recreate a website," "copy a web page"
- User provides a website URL and requests code rewrite
- User needs to convert an existing website into pure front-end code
- User wants to learn or understand the front-end implementation of a particular website
Workflow
1. Information Gathering
Use web_fetch to retrieve the HTML content of the target website:
web_fetch(url="target_url", extractMode="markdown")Analyze and document:
- Page structure (navigation, header, main content, footer)
- Visual elements (colors, typography, spacing, shadows)
- Interactive behaviors (clicks, hovers, animations)
2. Structure Reproduction
Write semantic HTML:
- Use proper HTML5 tags (header, nav, main, section, article, footer)
- Maintain DOM hierarchy consistent with the original site
- Add clear comments explaining the function of each section
3. Style Restoration
Write CSS styles:
- Prefer Flexbox/Grid layout
- Implement responsive design (media queries)
- Pay attention to pseudo-classes and transition effects (:hover, :focus, transition)
- Use CSS variables to manage colors and spacing
4. Interaction Implementation
Use vanilla JavaScript:
- Event listeners (addEventListener)
- DOM manipulation (classList, style, innerHTML)
- Animation effects (requestAnimationFrame or CSS Animation)
5. Output Specification
Generate runnable code:
project_directory/
├── index.html
├── styles/
│ └── main.css
└── scripts/
└── main.jsOr a single-file version (inline CSS/JS).
Code Conventions
<!-- HTML: Semantic + Comments -->
<header class="site-header">
<!-- Navigation bar -->
<nav class="navbar">...</nav>
</header>
/* CSS: BEM Naming + CSS Variables */
:root {
--primary-color: #3498db;
--spacing-unit: 8px;
}
.navbar__link--active {
color: var(--primary-color);
}
// JavaScript: Modern ES6+ Syntax
const toggleMenu = () => {
document.body.classList.toggle('menu-open');
};Limitations
- Pure front-end technologies only: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no React/Vue/jQuery)
- No backend functionality: No database, API, or server-side rendering
- Image placeholders: Use placeholder services (e.g., placeholder.com, picsum.photos)
- Copyright compliance: Do not copy original site text content, trademarks, or sensitive information
