This team is in over their heads. If you don’t have stateless infrastructure with a big red “oops, this isnt right, rollback” button – you’re doing it wrong. Read the reviews of their iPhone app on the App Store. They are not equipped to be running a financial company.

I've personally had great experience with GDAX, which is an exchange operated by the folks at Coinbase. Though if your issues with Coinbase extend beyond just pricing, this might not be a very good alternative.

No kidding - their front page is literally black text on a white background.

They don't have a single person who can use Photoshop and put up a proper maintenance page? They didn't already have a failover maintenance page? This shit is Web Hosting 101 stuff from decades ago.
