Show HN: The result of donating 8 hours design time

Posted by Cheeese on Wednesday March 17, 2010 @07:40PM
from the show-hn dept.

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

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
