At times, just coding might not be enough to get your startup at the expected presence.

In my opinion, what you need is to first gain some insights on

- how to build online presence

- User experience

Ex: By having a first look at your site, it is not directly visible what your site exactly does. Then I looked for About link (for which I had to scroll down to bottom right)

There's a lot of data available on the net which you can use to improve in these areas. I would suggest instead of recoding and loading the site with extra features, if you are satisfied with current functionality, then try to build online presence first.(You may start with getting more likes for your facebook page)

Thanks for this. I'll take a look at those areas. Though I'm wanting more functionalities, will it be okay if I gather likes for the facebook page even though the functionalities I wanted are not yet implemented? (e.g. first impression of the site's current functionalities can make a visitor like/dislike the site)

I think it would be okay to create a 'Site new version coming very soon' landing page and take the main site down as you work on it. But main and the most difficult target would be letting users know what your site exactly does, how easy it is, how different it is: all of them without showing the actual site! ( maybe some simple text on landing page, and mostly through well drafted text publicity on social networks ).

Show users before adding the functionality that they actually need it.( that it was inherent). If you are able to do this correctly, then you could get yourself a good fanbase.

Basically, I would suggest to improve on promotional strategies before starting coding again (after a landing page). And also keep a clear view on how are you going to generate income( if you want to call yourself a startup :) )
