To counter the issue of this being an issues i'm now offering Simple Invoices hosting via www.smarterinvoices.com

Hi Guys,

Thanks to a thread on Hacker News, UX guru Jason Strachan : http://www.jasonstrachan.com has donated a days work to redesign the Simple Invoices home page.

Heres the current design – http://simpleinvoices.org

and heres the proposed design – http://jasonstrachan.com/clients/simpleinvoices/

I really like the design – the header menu/logo is negotiable but i love the rest. Let me know your thoughts on the design!

Now for the fun part – converting the design (psd files below) into html/css reality. I'm normally fine doing this but an flat out trying to finish some features for Simple Invoices 2010.2 and some real world stuff ( new baby, new job, selling & buying a house/etc..)

If anyone is interested in helping out with the html/css grab the psd from below and give it a go – Really would love to implement this design asap

• post in the forum http://simpleinvoices.org/forum/discussion/1129/ux-guru-redesigns-simpleinvoicesorg-site/ if your interested or have questions/ thoughts on the design
