That one week I built my first real website and everything broke on Friday

Honestly, I was so proud of myself last month. I spent like 4 days straight following a FreeCodeCamp tutorial and built this little site for my cousin's bakery. It had a menu page, contact form, even a small gallery of her cupcakes. I tested it like 20 times on my laptop and it worked perfect. Then Friday morning she calls me saying the contact form just spits out error messages and the gallery images are all sideways. I almost cried on the phone. Turns out I forgot to check it on her phone and the image sizes were way too big and the form didn't have the right submit handler for her hosting. Spent the whole weekend fixing it with help from a stack overflow thread where someone had the exact same issue. Has anyone else had a project that worked fine locally but fell apart as soon as someone else touched it?

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Oh @nora_park72, I tried that and then my laptop decided to take a NAP instead of rebooting. Guess it needed a break MORE than I did.
