Screenshots lie. Or rather, they don’t lie exactly, they just show you the one good angle. A portfolio page full of polished mockups tells you almost nothing about whether the site actually works, loads fast, or is even still live.

One agency’s flagship “live” project turned out to be a broken 404. That one detail moved them straight off his list, no email required. It’s a genuinely good filter, and one most people skip because it takes fifteen extra minutes.
