Does copying English website design work?

Website planning, at first glance, seems to simply be the combination of channels, pages, and functions. However, how to set up channels, how to integrate pages, and how to position functions are issues that cannot be underestimated. Here, I mainly want to share my experiences in website design and planning in Shenzhen.

Recently, while chatting with friends about the differences between Chinese and English website designs, I had to mention a very common phenomenon: many Chinese websites copy excellent foreign websites, but the results are often very disappointing.

Why do copied website designs always look awkward? This raises a series of questions we must deeply consider. In fact, many designers in China have realized this issue, but how should one explain it to clients who insist on doing it this way?
