To me, the page looks more like a graphic artist's portfolio view than for a company providing SaaS, cloud and web development services. So from the get-go it is thematically confusing.

The larger question is, what are you trying to communicate with your "coming soon" page? I hope you are trying to communicate something. Web design has become an incredibly generic business format.

You need to actually say something about who you serve, what you do for your clientele, and what makes your services irreplaceable.

Forgive me if that is for the "next version", but there is a culture in some web-dev circles of letting metaphoric images "communicate" ... and they really don't do that very well at all.

I just wanted to know the initial reaction.., I will definitely change the background images and add responsive css but the layout will remain same.

About the SaaS part, well i just want the users to know which and all services i provide, and whether they want to be notified when we are done re-designing, they can leave their email address if they want to. Nothing else.

Why should someone leave their email address if you don't give them a good reason to do so? That's the main thing your page lacks - some statement of who you help and what you sell. You seem to be saying you covered that already but that material only appears in your title. There's 10 zillion web devs out there and all you're showing is a graphic.
Well..., To say the truth i just kept email field as most of the coming soon pages has that.., Otherwise i don't provide a web service (yet) and i don't expect anybody to leave their email..
