If this product is really good the ‘advertising’ should be the founder’s profile, or a gallery of several interesting profiles (fully functioning, not resume screenshots).

Nothing else.

Your current marketing site gives me zero experience of your product. Which is a marketing site!

Came to say something very similar. While having a prominent call to action button makes sense, the call to action is basically ALL I see when I land on an iPhone. There’s 0 chance I will click a button without some enticement as to what the service is about.

And given that it’s a site aimed at helping you sell yourself or your work to people, then the first thing we would want to see is a very compelling sales pitch.

E.g., make the site a resume for itself. “See how beautifully this site is being sold to you? Imagine doing that for yourself / your stuff!”

That's a good point, I guess no one just jumps to sign up. Maybe a good CTA would be -> check out the templates.

Doesn't the Templates page do just that?

I am also a bit confused and might need a bit more details. What do you mean by founders profile?
