Show HN: The result of donating 8 hours design time
Early this week I offered to donate 8 hours to any project that needed some design help. There were a few candidates and thanks to everyone that emailed me and posted in the comments. I decided to lend my time to Simple Invoices, an open source invoicing system.
You can see the result here: http://jasonstrachan.com/clients/simpleinvoices/
And the original site here: http://simpleinvoices.org/
Comments and feedback welcome. Hey Jason, awesome work!!!! love the design in my original email i said 'clarity,simplicity, community, not overly flashy' - this design communicates this on a level that me as a php guy would have no hope of coming up with - refer original site for my attempt :) the simple invoices community thanks you for your work - it will really help us communicate what were on about now onto the fun part - turning the psd into html/css reality :)
-- any html/css gurus want to lend a hand ? again - really appreciate this help !! will post here once we have implemented the design Cheers Justin
-- simpleinvoices.org Oh and a little help: why is it I can't post linkable URL's? Do I need more karma? "Urls become links, except in the text field of a submission" refer: http://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc i assume that this means if a title of a post is a url then its a link - else is formatted as plain text cheers justin Not a problem, I will send along the assets you need in a little. thanks - i'll post the design and psd on the simple invoices blog - http://simpleinvoices.org/blog and ask the community for help to make this into html/css greatly appreciated cheers justin Really, amazing and sleek design.
