Legal Question in Technology Law in New York

I have designed, coded and built a website, This website is about doing free/paid services for another website, It allows you to do stuff the original website doesn't allow/support,

Let's say it's a website that allows you to post questions on `lawguru.com` in a special way, A question that has special characters, appears in big font or anything that `lawguru.com` doesn't support

Is it legal to do such thing ? .. If not, What best can `lawguru.com` do to the owner ?

Is it necessary to ask for a permission from the `lawguru.com` to do this ?

Note that the original owner of the main website ( lawguru.com ) lives in new york and the one who made that dummy website lives in Egypt
