If you're a 'web designer', why didn't you design the website yourself instead of downloading a themeforest theme and purging the reference line from the source?

visit: www.melaniebarnett.com (I found a site that uses the exact same theme!)

Also, there is a temporal paradox on the webpage. It says "best viewed in Safari browser", but Safari didn't exist in the 90s and I believe web pages "best viewed in <some-browser>" disappeared in the early 00s.

Definitely was inspired by a themeforest design. I didn't download the theme. The whole site was built from scratch in Apple's iWeb. It's not even exactly like. Pay more attention to detail instead of criticizing.

You plagiarized the layout and design of the site (and maybe made a few modification) and didn't have the courtesy to atleast make a comment that the design had been 'inspired' by a themeforest template in your page source. Do you think your behavior had an iota of honor?
