You can always tell when a landing page was made by an agent. How?
by•
Not the code. The page itself.
Mine is the empty state. Agents build the happy path and stop, so there is never a screen for zero items, no error state, nothing for the slow connection.
After that it is section heights. Every block the same height down the page, because nothing was ever weighted against anything else.
The one I keep seeing lately is that the footer is the most designed part of the site. Giant logo at the bottom, template above it.
What is your tell?

Mine is form validation. Agents nail the happy path input but never think about what happens when someone pastes an emoji into a phone field or hits submit twice fast.

@bdennis11907 The pattern is the same as the empty state: nobody writes "and what if they click it twice" in the prompt, so the button never gets a disabled state.
Emoji in a phone field is the harsher version. Agents build for the input a reasonable person types.
