yo dawg, the image (wording) here is off-putting. https://propertywebbuilder.herokuapp.com/ https://propertywebbuilder.herokuapp.com/ I'm not uptight or anything, but it bothers me when people allegedly (see, i'm doubting you already) put in so much work and then shoot themselves in the foot with shenanigans for half a laugh. First impressions, and such... This often bothers me, and obviously when i was cooler and in college I did it to. Aaaaaand it didn't get me anywhere. In this particular case, we're talking real-estate? big money, important purchase, long-term debts. It especially doesn't fit.

I think that's the kind of meme I would of used when I was in high school for a few minutes as a joke, never permanently on a demo website. Memes are nice and all, but keep it reasonable and fitting to the rest of the page...

  investors may not have a sense of humour, and if they did you would also have to be funny.

Someone just put that up now to mess with me. That's how nice people are these days. I'll clean out the db and re-seed in a minute.

  Someone else has push rights to your Heroku project and they would do this to mess with you?

    No you don't need push rights to change the content. This is a demo site and the credentials are available on the github repo. The ideas is to let people play with it. Only I can reset the db and that is what I do when people do silly things with the content.

Indeed. That pic on the top says: "We're immature kids, all we want is lulz". OK, as I visitor, I immediately get the message, see how it mismatches my expectations, and close the tab. Business? No, I see no business here.

Fixed. Reset the database and re-seeded it. Come on guys - do you really think I would put such nonsense on my own site.

  > do you really think I would put such nonsense on my own site Well apparently you allow anyone to have access to what's shown there, so it seems you don't care what nonsense gets put on your own site.

  If anyone can deface your site at will, and it takes your manual intervention to fix it, you won't be able to just "set it and forget it" as you will be constantly babysitting your website. Find a way to limit the damage one can do to the site by localizing changes to a randomized URL or something, because giving anyone on the internet access to your main demo is quite dangerous.
