Replace fabricated social proof with honest claims (#26)

[Harsh-goswami-103]

Summary

Resolves #26 — removes the fabricated "Trusted By" logos, unverifiable stats, and duplicate portfolio imagery, and addresses the same class of fabrication found while auditing nearby code.

Issue #26 acceptance criteria

• Fake brand logos — TrustedBy reframed from "Trusted by teams at" (Vercel/Stripe/Figma/… as implied clients) to an honest "Built with modern tools" tech-stack list. No third-party logos or implied endorsement.
• Unverifiable stats — Hero's 150+ Projects / 98% Satisfaction / 5+ Years replaced with honest capability claims (100% Custom Code, Mobile-First, SEO-Ready); FinalCTA's "Join 150+ businesses" reworded to "Partner with Servio…".
• Duplicate imagery — all six portfolio projects now use unique images (projects 1&5 and 3&6 previously shared photos).

Additional fixes (same risk class, surfaced by a completeness audit)

• Removed the Testimonials section — it contained fabricated named endorsements with real-people stock avatars and invented metrics ("conversion jumped 47%", "Revenue 3x in 60 days").
• Replaced a screenshot of Adalo's marketing site that was being shown as our own "CloudSync SaaS" project (visible Adalo logo, adalo.com, and their tagline) — a trademark + passing-off risk.
• Reframed the Portfolio as sample concepts ("What We Build" / "the kind of sites we craft") instead of delivered client work, and swapped a stock portrait that showed a person rather than any website deliverable.

Verification

• npm run typecheck ✓
• npm run build ✓
• Every replacement image was visually inspected to confirm it is brand-free and on-theme.

Notes / follow-up

Scoped to honest reframing + image fixes. The non-functional "View Project" buttons and per-card "Concept" badges were intentionally left for a possible follow-up.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR addresses landing page credibility issues by deleting the Testimonials component and removing it from App.tsx, replacing fabricated numeric metrics in Hero with honest capability claims, converting the TrustedBy section from third-party brand logos to a tech stack strip, refreshing Portfolio with unique images and updated copy, and updating the FinalCTA paragraph text.
