Hi Dan.  I like your business idea.  Sounds like it should do well.  But here's my honest opinion about your site...

I think it looks pretty clean, but I think it's needs a little more to truly look professional and trustworthy.  I can understand why you would use WordPress, since it's cost-effective and easy to change, but the downside of WordPress is that a self-designed site doesn't have the polished touches of a professionally-designed site, although it can with some work.  I'd make the "how does it work" link first and add a "types of candy" link and page.  I'd add more content to the "how does it work" page and detail things a bit more.  That page does not really tell too much or give too many details, so I think that would cause you to lose potential customers.  Answer every question that they might have on that page in a very succinct way.  You also should define exactly how much is a "big envelope of candy" that a person receives.  You might want to clarify that by saying that "you will receive x-amount of candies or so many ounces of Mexican candy every month".

Can I ask why is the cost $14.07?  I think that the 7 cents is kind of random and unusual, so I'd either make the price $14, $14.50, or $14.95 a month, but I would definitely not go with $14.07.  It's just an unusual price, in my opinion.

I would suggest that you check out other companies that sell products online, and they don't necessarily have to sell candy or be a direct competitor.  But try to analyze their site and see how they have set it, what makes their site look professional, and what you can do to make yours look even better.

Hope this helps.  And I hope that your company does great.  My mother's family lives in Mexico and we used to go there every summer.  So I've had plenty of Mexican candy myself and I still love it.
