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

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

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
