The website's interface

The news website of a central business is 'sibling' with famous electronic newspapers? A new subsidiary of FPT Telecom newly established with the same logo? Website selling the world's largest online template - TemplateMonster has just opened a branch website in Vietnam?

All answers are simply 'no!', Which is just one of the popular 'borrowed' ideas of web design and interface that are very popular on Vietnam.

"Temporarily borrow" design or perfect copying?

Images of websites with interfaces like "twins" with famous electronic newspapers.

As a daily web surfer, Yen - an employee of a media company in Hanoi often gets into the big electronic newspapers to see the news.

Once more, Yen couldn't help but be surprised: ' Why is the look of this company's website the same as VietNamNet? Is this personal news page exactly like Dan Tri? The website of a local newspaper only changes each . newspaper name and logo, the rest are identical to Hanoi New electronic newspaper ??? '

Similarly, TemplateMonster, the website that sells the world's largest template (website template) has been copied nearly as much as the original header (the header) and the navigation bar (navigation bar) at a classifieds website of Vietnam. Male. Menu of categories of VietNamNet newspaper, Dan Tri electronic, new electronic Hanoi . is also the target of copying many news websites, electronic information sites with the same structure .

A lot of people, who have had many times 'A-letter O', are surprised to enter a website, mistaking it for a sub-site or a second version of the famous website.

What if someday, your company's website is copied in the same way by another website?

What is the cause?

Currently, websites that have a way of copying in designs are not uncommon, most of them come from website design services.

The TemplateMonster website interface has been copied in almost the same way . This phenomenon has two forms: one is a non-tech-savvy user, so when designing advice often expresses the point of view. Like this news site, the other website "sure". Having to design and risk new interfaces and ideas that have not yet been tested.

It is also impossible to exclude the possibility that the owners of these websites have a slight intention to 'borrow temporarily' from websites, reputable brands to entice customers, or 'help' customers' misperception. 'to draw attention.

At that time, the design units are forced to "flexibly" transform (to not be known for copyright infringement), but still have to be customer-oriented, so there is an e-commerce website that interfaces like "twin brothers" with a . famous electronic newspaper.

Ms. Ung Ngoc Anh (Director of DotVN Company - Chief Representative of Hi-Teck in Vietnam) fully agrees with the above statements: " As soon as we are in contact with customers as web services, most of them Everyone is not interested in the service provider's design advice but just wants to be like a famous system . "

Secondly, it is impossible not to mention that the software service providers themselves deliberately sample the design ideas and interfaces of another website or system. Due to the poor idea and just signing a contract with customers, these units try to convince customers to follow their advice.

It will be detrimental in the integration time!

Who dares to say, this is stealing FPT's logo?It's simply the same way . it's hard to believe!

Although, it has been "clever" enough, so that no one can litigate copyright or copy ideas, steal the brand. But these 'borrowings', obviously have a certain effect on user vision and can cause confusion and discomfort. That's not to say, it's very close to the fake (fake), impersonation, or phishing (scam) that VietNamNet has mentioned in recent topics.

According to research from a number of design analysts, the level of attracting the attention of web surfers on these websites is huge in the first visit. This 'innocently borrowed' is seemingly harmless, but behind it, is the reputable harm to big names, the reluctant victims of the ideas of design.

" Not to say the big consequences, but the whole market phenomenon of the web is to follow the standard models made by others, obviously there is no creativity at all, very lack of professionalism " - Ms Ung Ngoc Anh presented show.

Mr. Tran Van Bac - Director of an online recruitment company - said that the phenomenon of "temporarily borrowing" web interface and "directing" online design ideas has become a problem, " certainly not I can't control it, but I shouldn't overreact . "

" I think Vietnamese IT is only at dawn, so just accept the idea of ​​being a little bit poor, as everyone is wearing a Vest. Later when the market grows more demand will be forced. The outstanding person must have his own stylist! "- Mr. Bac took the witty example.

However, the majority of professionals have reacted quite harshly. Mr. Hung - Director of a pressing media company: " Still know that the country's IT background is still very young, but not because of that, but we can accept the innocent" borrowed "to . Such an unfortunate situation: Everyone can see how disadvantageous the users are, the idea of ​​being copied, the external view in the integration period will turn us into a disadvantage . "

Referring to this problem, many people just shook their heads and said: "Out of plagiarism, religion, music director, game, Vietnam now has the whole path . website interface."
