Since you chose to SPAM us with a commercial advertisement that isn't on topic, I chose to critique your post, site and program.
-- Your company's inability to get your site to load in Internet Explorer without a warning message does not inspire enthusiasm in customers that you can handle API programming. Your IE8 warning shows up for other IE versions as well. -- Most people who can understand your jargon filled, overly wordy sales pitch probably don't need your service. You need to explain what it is you can do in basic terms, don't go for details off the bat. You need to move the basic explanation finally found on your About US page to the front page and can the flashy graphics for a bit. Explain yourself. -- Most people you want to sign up may understand they want Amazon Web Services, but you are going to have to explain those services to them to get them to bite on your plan to help them take advantage of them. Explain the acronyms, don't assume the businessperson reading your site to make the decision to sign up, knows the acronyms a programmer knows. And again, even the programmers just getting started in AWS doesn't know all the acronyms and shorthand of AWs, if they did, they wouldn't need your help. -- If you are expecting us to appreciate your "Buzz" endorsements, you really need to give people time to read them. A six sentence paragraph takes more than five seconds to read. No obvious way to stop your auto-scroll. -- Your main page is confusing and hurts the eyes (purple menu and off-yellow background). Seeing your big brown tab display, people think your big brown subject tabs should take them to an explanation of the topic they announce, they don't, no linkage. Your "Architect-Launch-Monitor-Report" theme goes nowhere, you never follow up and explain how you do those things and certainly not on the page you display them.
