No it isn't. You can look at a visual element or style on another website and mimic it for your own.
You can't look at, say, Facebook and determine the exact code structure and replicate that.

- AznHisoka 15y agoPlease, stop trying to make your specialty some special voodoo that only gifted, special people will know about. It's a commodity.
- ahoyhere 15y agoAh, it only chafes when I apply your statements back to you about your profession. I see. Point of fact: I started as a visual designer when I was a teenager. Then I learned PHP, then Ruby, then JavaScript, off which I made lots and lots of money and no little fame. Then I got really interested in the way software WORKED and turned into an interface designer. Who designs and develops her own shit. Now I make and sell products directly to people who use them, nobody will "hire" me for anything ever again. What is my profession exactly, that I am preciously trying to protect?
