After defining web site about 15 minutes later I found that
permissions and owner of the web site files are changed to something
like this. 

drwxrwxrwx    6 544      401          4096 Jun  3 16:29 admin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        14604 Jun  4 11:48 admin.php

Are you sure you didn't just 'tar xvfpz archive.tgz' the web site
directory ?
Maybe on the developping server you have an user with id 544 and gid
401, and tar preserves file attributes if you specified the flag 'p'.
