A word of advice regarding the copy on your website, make sure you hire someone who can write well. Please don't take this is a slight, this is serious advice. First impressions can make or break your customers' experience and poorly worded writing can severely damage the experience.
I agree. I had trouble following OP's intent due to language. I think that the reason more people haven't chimed in is that the initial question is worded so confusingly. And also, I don't mean this as a slight; just an observation. I doubt that anyone would mind if you re-phrased and re-posted with more substance.
If you clone an application, you have no idea what their end goal is, so how can you ever compete/innovate?
