Another thing, I just saw the prices for your services, going upwards to $1,800/mo. If you're intention is to attract companies with that kind of budget, you'd definitely have your work cut out for you. There is 0% chance a company with that kind of budget would sign up with a service that isn't 100% polished and offers more than just, here's a server. They can get a dedicated server with those specs elsewhere for probably cheaper at a more reputable vendor. Sorry, but I think you really need to rethink the market, and definitely stop your paid advertising. It's just going to waste.

100% agree with ainsej. Do not waste money on any paid advertising without a proper landing page/website set up. The way your site is now, there is no way you'd get anyone to convert, so you'd just be throwing money away on those clicks. The only people who may sign up are those looking to spam, attack, dos, or abuse your services in one way or another.

The $350 for attorney to review your ToS is not the right way to use your funds. You can find some decent templates for ToS or borrow from other hosts and edit/rewrite portions yourself. You need to solidify your product and overall brand/appearance before you spend any money on marketing and legal.

Currently I use Omnigraffle to produce wireframes. I've also used InDesign in the past as well as Hotgloo, which is web-based and allows for collaboration, if that's something of value to you.

Initial reaction: the homepage has too much abstract marketing verbiage, e.g. "Do Less. Achieve more" and "Boost your productivity."

What you failed to answer with your homepage is exactly what the product is and what exactly you're trying to solve. Unless I am genuinely interested or came to your site via a referral, I'm most likely not going to stick around to read the copy beyond what's in the hero, let alone view the screenshots further down the page (which BTW loads unbelievably slow).

Be direct and to the point. Clearly show what your product is without pouring the marketing gravvy all over it.

Other than that, the product itself looks great, though the design reminds me very much of outlook.com. Good luck!
