Google is starting to put increased emphasis on enhancing the user's experience. Part of that is security and favorable ranking of sites that are secure. What is Homestead doing to allow subscribers to offer https security with Websitebuilder? Other providers offer this as part of their solution. Is Homestead planning the same?

Are the contact forms secure? Is the contact data transmitted to the email server via https using mandrillapp?

No, only checkout pages are secured. You can use a 3rd party form that supports SSL

I checked the Roundcube email source of these forms. The source shows that the path begins with:
<img src="https://mandrillapp.com/track/open.php?u=......
So, are you sure the mandrillapp is not sending the message using https?

That may be the app they they are using now, but in order for it to be secure, all phases must be secure. Since Homestead does not support individual SSL certificates at this time, the submission from the site to the transport is definitely not secured by SSL. It is possible that the email is sent encrypted, but it could be unsecured too. I shall look into it. Which site sent that form? I do not believe the same transport is used by Sitebuilder as in Websitebuilder..
