Jeez, I like the rip better. Cleaner. Id be pissed to if someone ripped my site and made it better.

I dig yours must-dash...
Being copied is the ultimate form of flattery...
Upwards / Onwards!

yep... ripped...
... nothing you can really do about it though... is there?
And it's not like you've ever really had a 'nice' folio site (sorry, dude... hate the blue version before... and that purple kinda hurts - doesn't do your work any justice)... perhaps this is a hint that it's time to redo your site. :)

Looks dubiously close, similar functionality too. I'd be sending them a mail

hrm.. they completely re-built it in jQuery and your using mootools...
the rip feels a bit choppier... anyone else feel that?
- RW0
It looks similar but you can't say it's an exact copy, can you?

How is this a rip?
- I mean, it's not even built the same way. The design is close, I guess, but neither is particularly unique.duckofrubber

isn't this open source jquery?
side scrolling presentation has been done a million times, both sites are similar but not a rip.

if it helps, I like the original a lot better, the navigation is sickness man.
Email the "largest studio in London" and let them know their web designer is making his salary at your expense.- +1dasmeteor
- Amazing portfolio btw !dasmeteor
- Looks like shit with all that copy, the font make it look busier. I dont even know what to look at.CygnusZero4

Original is better, that is a slick navigation.

There's nothing the same about either of these layouts, other than a white line that juts across the page horizontally with a line separated left navigation. However, i think your site looks much better, the code, typefaces used are different.

The underlying structure of the site was completely ripped... the tech behind it and the foundation that holds everything in place - all ripped...
... changing out fonts and adjusting css is nothing more than applying a new paint job to a car you stole.
- interesting analogyMiguex
- I don't see the same structure in the code at all.duckofrubber

Interesting how some people see it as a rip and others not... thanks for the feedback. Not worth getting stressed about.

Is www.threemills.com the original?

It's a rip but I wouldn't worry about. Like ideaist said, take it as flattery. Now, if they were submitting it to awards, reselling the design, getting public props, shit like that (which obviously they are not)...then maybe I'd say something. When I look at your site, I'm more interested in your work, your site is merely a container.

Yeah... I think it is... Send them an email... let us know what they say and we'll have the torches ready either way
