Looking good, clear and informative!

My only remark is for the title/tagline, "A better way to go".
I get the double meaning of it, but my wicked mind comes first and foremost with the third meaning, as in exiting Life itself. I hope I'm the only one with a strange mind, but just in case... maybe think it over.

Other than that, all thumbs-up!

I like the new page - very appealing to the eye. Only thing that caught me up for a moment was the small print "A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS" on the left above the link to the permies wiki - but the questions were on the right-hand side of the page.

Love it and planning on using this guide to build our first willow feeder sometime this Fall or next Spring. I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Paul looks good.  Also tested on iphone and it looks good there too.

I used the willow feeder every morning and it was a great start to the day.  Nice sawdusty / woody smell in there.  No other bad smells!  
I preferred it to the indoor traditional bathroom.  

Hope you guys are doing well!  I saw you are moving dirt and making roads recently.

That's been thought of, Nina! Terramation has apparently been taking off in the US. Here's Kristoffer Hughes enthusing on BBC's 'Radical': BBC Radical (50 mins)

Or you could opt for a hole in the ground (green burials can go into fields), or being thrown overboard which I understand is nautical practice.

I LOVE THIS!
It's so beautifully done. Very appealing, modern marketing style. Good font selection, flow, and persuasive writing.

Kind of surprised that the total lack of typical outhouse smell isn't mentioned, even in the section at the bottom. Maybe it does smell ripe sometimes? It didn't when I used it, but it was winter.

Thank you for giving this project love. The willow feeder is hands down the best outhouse I've ever come across. I always mention it when I'm telling people about my visit to Weaton Labs - an unexpected highlight. It would be wonderful to see the design spread to more properties.

This is very appealing to the eye and grabbed my attention.  It made me want to come back for more. I am biased, since this type of thing is up my alley, but it commands me to " read more now"  not "save it for someday". I agree that addressing odor levels ( or lack of them) should be mentioned.  If you talk sh*t, you gotta talk about the odor.
