I don't necessarily think it is too technical, you are just offering managed WordPress hosting. So you are targeting a niche market within the larger small/medium sized business. Now granted many of them use WordPress, but not all of them.
The problem I see is that the site doesn't convey to me why I should choose your service over a company like WPEngine, Pagely, or even something like Media Temple Managed WordPress, or GoDaddy's managed WordPress product. Outside of Media Temple, these are the "big players" in this space and comparatively I get a lot more bang for the buck with their services. I do think there is room to play in the market, but in order to do so, you need to have something that makes you competitive.
If you already have customers or someone that you have done work for, get some testimonials on the site. Look at the pricing for the other players and figure out how you can make your pricing competitive or offer something they don't.
- jeffmould 11y agoI was going to edit my original post, but I will add this separately instead. One thing you may want to consider is building relationships with WordPress developers. They are going to be your target market most likely. The small/medium sized businesses are most likely contracting out their sites to developers and could care less how it gets done, just that it is done and works correctly. Maybe consider offering some kind of affiliate program to get developers in. Or reach out to a few developers and offer to work with them directly until you get started.
