This issue boils down to something plain and simple.
If you come across something on the Web that visually makes since for your business, you open up your favorite editor and begin to code to match what you see. Source graphics that are similar in nature to reflect your objective and the design's objective.
For CSS and JS, examine what has already been accomplished and add your flavor and tweaks that make your brand what it is.
But if you copy CSS and HTML directly from another site and link to their images? For an up and coming funded startup? You are just greedy and lazy, or someone on the team got lazy.
