    Be more specific in your contracts next time and move on.

    A solve I've seen a few people employ is preserving video and screenshots of a site and keeping those behind a password protected portfolio area for the purpose of new business presentations or interviews. A working version of the website will definitely change at some point in the future anyway. Most of my portfolio cannot be shown to the public but I use it all the time behind closed doors. That's all that really matters.
