This is an exact copy of my site NerdyData.com. Are you serious right now, I was using that layout just a week ago for my homepage!

You stole our idea and our theme verbatim? How can you live with yourself?

The layouts don't really look anything alike and I think they may be using an off-the-shelf theme for their landing page. Also their site works... have you launched yet?

I apologize for my previous comment, I was reacting out of anger.

This is the page they copied http://nerdydata.com/home2.php. It was our wait list for the last 2 months while we developed our site, which now has a new homepage we put up last week. http://nerdydata.com

But no hard feelings, maybe you had the idea independently and happened to use the same exact theme and messaging.

Well I guess that's the risk you take by using an off-the-shelf theme... your copy differs significantly if that's any consolation...

edit: (this is the theme https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/beaker-responsive-working-la...)
