Who really cares, as long as they're not infringing copyrights? This site design may have been tested to work for attracting their audience and converting interested eyeballs into sales.

They are not selling a continuous service or "lifestyle" product, so I'm not sure if they would benefit from having a site with a unique visual identity.

At $349, the Corona SDK is not a cheap product in a world where most development kits have become free... Looking like Apple may be just the simplest way of reassuring their customers that they're getting something that fits the Mac development environment like a glove.



The web design almost turned me off completely from investigating Corona further. Then again, I come from a web design background, so I may be more sensitive to that than others. Fortunately for Corona, the actual product does seem to be the best for what I'm looking for.


It's a dashcode output (aka the free web design thingy that comes with XCode).

Apple makes the tool that makes websites look like that.


I cannot find this template in Dashcode. Does it use Blueprint CSS framework too?


Aha! Good to know. They could still use a designer to actually design their site, but it's nice that they didn't just elect to steal a design.
