Best way to copy website?

I am intrigued by this thread, as I am a beginner AM and have a very basic lander hosted on AWS. My understanding of HTML also very basic. So I am looking of there is an easy way to make adjustments on my lander. If I could "mirror" a site that I like and could use it as a template for my own Campaigns, that would be great! If someone has a Guide, more info about how to use httrack and/or a tool to get this done, please feel free to reply!
 
You mean, the expert way?
A: take a screenshot, paste in photoshop and then...Measure and recreate the site design by measuring each of the element and creating/styling the dom.

WTF?

Anyways, why people use Photoshop for web design?

My pipeline:
* Find a site with bootstrap or similar. Discard any other. Why? Because we want a
* WinHttptrap or Cyotek Webcopy. It is also possible to copy a site with wget (there is a wget for windows) but shell is not my thing.

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://example.org

* Remove all "google analytics".

* Remove all copyright (meta and so on) and call-to-home script.

* Pretty the css and javascript.

* Change the logo and images.

You must learn the basics of html, css and a bit of javascript. There is no roundabout. But you can avoid the heavy lifting to design the site from scratch by cloning a page that you like.

Thanks @terrier2018 for the help! Very useful, did short research about bootstrap (did not know what it meant). Learned that I have a lot to learn..... Thanks again !
