My upwork client blamed me that I copied code from refrence website

Hello developers and designers

I'm a developer and designer, just a week ago I created a template for my Upwork client within 8 hours, but now it accuses me of copying code from a reference website and contributing on my behalf nothing.

It doesn't matter if I get the money or not. But I want to ask all of you do you find a 1% similarity in the list of both the websites? Give me a thumbs down if I have copied or else a thumbs up.

If you respect yourself, your hard work, and your honesty, please reply. And one more thing it is not about working speed.

Reference URL provided by client: https://geniuscart.royalscripts.com

My template: http://revolution.whiteheartdevelopers.com

Thank you love you all

Looks like a pretty accurate copy, but using your own codes.

Still a rip-off of the original designers work.

Also let the customer implement the design.

Finally, my favorite laracasters replied. Both of you helped me too many times & I will be thankful to you.

It's very similar, you copied the design in my opinion.

For cases like that, you should contact the client first and decide how unique your version should be.

@MohamedTammam Thanks for the answer, it's about the code and not the design.

The client needed the same design

Agree. Design is quite close (need a bit of work on mobile :)). And code seems to be your own 👍

@Sinnbeck Yes, I want to say that I did not copy the code, but he does not agree and stopped me

Design is pretty similar, not much difference. But the code is totally different.

maybe they only look at the actual page and realise you copied all the assets (the photos) and they don't know much about it.

Of course you should be saying that these are only placeholders and all the assets will be replaced by ones that they supply.

@Sinnbeck ????

But thank you all for your support and time. No need to spend much time on this, even I knew that I have fulfilled his every need honestly. In the end, I left work.

Thanks Good night everyone

@sunilbfcj if you open those two css files they both mention bootstrap. Maybe he just opened both and assumed you copied the css.

Anyways. Good luck. Hope you manage to get paid

@Sinnbeck The client is the owner of the web development company and I think he doesn't agree with the time I spent.

@sunilbfcj sad to hear that. I think you did great in only 8 hours. And either way you should get paid for the work you did
