Turns out I forgot a 'max-width' on the parent container and it was stretching past the viewport. Anyone else waste a whole afternoon on something that dumb?
I went back and forth for a month between a simple one page scroll and a multi page site. Picked the multi page because it looked more professional, but my bounce rate shot up to 80%. Turns out clients just wanted to see my work fast without clicking around. Has anyone else had a layout change backfire like that?
I was walking through my site with a potential client in Cincinnati when my portfolio page just went blank. Turned out my host updated PHP and broke a plugin that ran the gallery. Spent 10 minutes sweating and apologizing while I scrambled to pull up backups. Client actually laughed it off but I lost momentum and never heard back after the call. Switched hosts that weekend and now I test every page before any meeting. Anyone else get burned by a silent update that nuked your site?
