Seriously impressed by your answer to Q #1, kudos! ("I see no market there, but feel free to prove me wrong") A bit of feedback: can I suggest including a bit of information about the project and aquaponics in general? It took me a while to figure out what this is all about. Something like "Grow your own food with minimal hassle" would help a lot. EDIT: your answer below nicely sums it up, you might want to put it on the homepage: "Here are just a few advantages over a traditional garden:..."

Thanks! Where would you like to see that info, in the blog post or on the landing page? Edit: thanks again for the tip, I'll add that to the homepage.

  Huh, I didn't realise you had a separate landing page (which btw. displays a HTTPS certificate warning when you go to https://www.automicrofarm.com/ https://www.automicrofarm.com/ - you might want to fix that, lots of users still type the "www" at front of addresses). How about linking to it from blog page? Landing page looks much better, though I would suggest replacing the top image with the photo of the system (because it takes quite a lot of scrolling until you see the solution). Also, I miss info where you ship to - EU too? Ok, sorry, this reply looks like I am dissecting your web page... professional deformation I guess. I don't mean any harm. ;) Congrats on your achievement and good luck with the project!

    Huh, when I type out https://www.automicrofarm.com/ https://www.automicrofarm.com/ , I get redirected to https://automicrofarm.com/ https://automicrofarm.com/ with no warning, on Chrome. What browser are you using? I thought about replacing the top photo with this one: http://65.media.tumblr.com/4275c7edda5220da60f629d6f7ee5824/tumblr_inline_o9y7d9sJ9g1qz793a_500.jpg http://65.media.tumblr.com/4275c7edda5220da60f629d6f7ee5824/... , but it's not immediately clear to people what they're looking at. Maybe I'll just move up the pics on the page? I am just focusing on the US for now. Thanks for your suggestions!

      You've probably previously added an exception in your browser (or possibly have the redirect cached). Looks like you're using AWS for your cert. See step 3 on http://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/gs-acm-request.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/gs-acm-reque... You need a cert with a Subject Alternative Name for www (or *, which is still free with aws).
