#2Great domain name you have there!

#3Holy buzzwords, Batman!
Seriously, I hate them. It makes it seem like you don't have anything substantial when you use them. They appear as filler for a weak product. Talk to me like a human. Given that I'm trying to find other humans for work, I would rather trust something that felt honest than something peppered with marketing-speak.

It doesn't really help that 'please' is categorically misspelled as 'pls' either...

OK, the templates have to start somewhere, pretty much everything else was written by users, check https://www.workio.com/b/Y2NlMTY5MDYt/security-assessment for example. Or is the About page that puts you off?
Guilty regarding the Pls's...

#6The editor is pretty fancy, dragging stuff around when you create a new document works really well. Will give it a try

That isn't a misspelling, but a very common shortcut. I fail to see how this in any way detracts from the readability of the text. Other shortcomings notwithstanding, "pls" is fine for the vast majority of internet users.

#8A few things:
1. Congrats on launching!
2. You have an explanation video hidden somewhere on the site (like literally I saw it then got back to the homepage and couldn't recall which link I had clicked to find it). Having that front and center would really help.
2a. Don't use the robot voiceover for the video. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself find somebody on Fiverr.com to do it for you.
3. It would be very helpful to have some extremely simple examples of what you are providing. Along the lines of: "Jim wants to boost sales, instead of hiring a costly salesperson he can request getting leads." (which is something I think you do).
Looks like you're off to a good start.

It's lazy and unprofessional.
