Almost every Kocaeli web design agency shows a portfolio page — but most business owners just glance at the images. Reviewing a portfolio properly is one of the most critical steps in choosing an agency.
Visit the Live Site, Not Just the Screenshot
A portfolio image is a best-angle photo — it may not reflect the real experience. Visit the live projects: does it still work, load fast, look good on mobile? This simple check immediately reveals how well portfolio claims match reality.
Look for Relevant Sector or Scale
- —Is there a project in your sector or at a similar scale?
- —Do the projects show different design approaches, or one template repeated?
- —Is there experience across different project types — corporate, e-commerce, custom software?
