Hi, I would like to have some feedback on the website I've created. It's called Invoice At Once. It is a small service for users who need to create and print an invoice in an easy way. I think it would be useful for freelancers or any independent worker.

Any feedback or fresh ideas for improvements would be great.

Thanks...

Possible additions for registered users:

- keep all company info entered for my next visit (maybe it does, did not check)

- every invoice needs a unique incremental number so a list of previous created invoices by number would be useful - also for ease of use

- registration should still be just an option - giving extra features

Expand your market:

- other languages - because its not very nice to send my clients an invoice in English

- VAT (in Europe normally added on a separate line below the total and then another final total)

- 'make all checks payable' = interesting, in Europe we normally transfer by bank as much as possible - so add option for bank account (IBAN in case of Europe)

Great Feedback !!! Thanks for the interest and the time you took to analyse the site... I keed al the information in the localstorage so next time you enter you don t have to enter again all the data you entered last time.. Registration as an option is a great idea... I ll think about it for the future... Charges, discounts and others you can do it with the little green + in the right... Other languages, currency, etc is going to be the next update... Really appreciate your feedback...

Re: tax/VAT, the little green '+' beside the total appears to allow exactly this (and more!)

Thanks for this, the PDF invoice looks great! As someone else mentioned, an option to save company and address info in my login would be awesome.

Can you make the currency symbol a field to be customised? It wouldn't even need to be a drop-down box...

Any detail on the technology you are using? How do you generate the PDF? Is this a LaTeX template?

I used PHP and TCPDF to generate the pdf...

Checklists or something like that in the description, it's useful for services.

An API would be great: POST some JSON, get a PDF back.

Very nice but very US centric.
