Our goal is to let the web application development faster, easi…

I think you will succeed. But you can charge $2.

When I visit on iPad it says it cannot verify the identity of your server... May want to look into that to increase customer confidence.

also getting a cert error - when i proceed anyway i get no content on the page. I'm on OSX, running Google Chrome.
