Interesting idea but here are a few points you might want to think about:

1. I don't imagine that most people us an app for the daily running of a household. I can see this working better for students in private accommodation, room mates, etc. Less so for couples and families.

2. The website doesn't really tell me why this will make my household successful. What's the value proposition? All I'm seeing just now is actually another layer of life admin as I need to input lots of data in the app.

3. The design could really use some work. That's not to be mean, but right now it's not hugely appealing and I nearly closed the tab immediately. It looks like the sort of system you might tolerate at work, but wouldn't want to use as part of your personal life. I'd recommend checking out some tips by Steve Schoger for design, consider using a theme, or paying someone to do this if you don't have time. It just doesn't really resonate with a potential user and erodes trust.

4. Who are you marketing this to? Think about it and tailor your copy / design accordingly.

Hope that helps!
