I know there is an HTML site cloner which eases your work and can create an exact similar site easily with databases.

To be frank, I don't have funds to pay for a developer and also I don't know coding. Just if anyone can help me, please let me know.

Thank you! Help would be appreciated.

well, you can start with free site clowners, like httrack,
http://www.hforcare.com

it wont generate a DB for you but rather will save files as static HTML, but it's free and a good start

If your talking about scraping a websites sql databases then this can't be done as its server side, the only things you can scrape are client side code; html, css, ,javascript etc

I have a pretty bitchin PHP library I use to extract content from and dump entire sites into a mysql database with a few lines of code. If you learn xpath and relational database design you're on the right track.
