TBH, I find it extremely hard to acquire customers. Even with a rock solid product that is NOT, in any way, below the competition. I get the visits but the signups are non existent. Probably because my audience is geared towards programmers and tech oriented businesses. I can do almost any project but marketing kills me.

Your website looks good, if I were in the market for such a solution I'd probably consider yours ?

But as someone already said, you maybe need to focus on solving a more specific problem or vertical, rather than being all things to all people. To find it, naybe think back about why you built this in the first place?

A more minor point : I would trust you more as a customer if you added an About page, to put a face on your product.
