Wanbol Web Media Illegally Copy Website

Wanbol Web Media are supposedly a 'web design company'. A web design company who have stolen the code and graphics from Claire's personal portfolio website and used it for their own.
In fact, there is still some of her work on their website that they are claiming is their own. Even some of the website text is the same! It's actually quite funny just how brass necked these people are.


*Edit* Since this article was posted, the company in question have been alerted to this copyright infringement and have taken down their website. See comments below.


Here is Claire's site:



And here is the stolen version, as used by Wanbol Web Media:



Here at Op45 we respect all great design work and the idea of plagiarism is unthinkable. It's quite hard to imagine how any self-respecting website designer could steal somebody else's website and claim it is their own in order to gain clients.

The most hilarious part about this, is that this company haven't noticed that most of the code for the website still has Claire's name inside it. Infact the statistics and analytics code at the bottom is all still in Claire's name so she is getting information about everybody who visits their website.
So this web design company who are using Claire's work to gain clients, actually have no idea how to code a website properly themselves.

The second last thing we at Op45 want to do is put down another graphic design firm. The last thing we ever want to do is even think about taking somebody else's work. But sometimes the likes of Wanbol Web Media shock your very core.

As Wanbol Web Media claim to 'develop unique website solutions', we at Op45 can shake our heads in disgrace at such audacity as we take the right steps to make sure Wanbol Web Media don't get away with this.
