It's an interesting idea, the first thing I noticed was that the design doesn't look very modern or professional, it gives a bad first impression.

The outer glow on the logo is kinda tacky. I can tell you've invested a lot of time into this, so investing in a really talented designer/brander might be something to look into.

Your mac screenshot image covers up half of the learn more and sign up buttons. It's an easy fix, give this selector ( body.brochure.new_index #landing.box #screenshot a )position: relative and give em a z-index:1000 or something.

Also, you have a lot of serif fonts, maybe you should consider making your menu and header text sans serif?

I have to second this. I do not have an eye for design and I know this. It's just my weakness. Having a good designer on board is an absolute must. If you want a suggestion, try http://www.monfx.com/ | http://www.mdolon.com/ -- he is here on Hacker News and he designed http://www.feedbackarmy.com and http://www.afterthedeadline.com for me.

I know monji personally through entrepreneur meet ups and he's great. Also worked on a YC funded start up way back when as well.

Thanks!

position: relative is now fixed on the screenshot. Sign up and learn more buttons are now clickable.
