Hiring CSS Designers for Invoice Templates
Some background: ProfitTrain is a desktop application for Mac OS X that helps freelancers and small businesses create and manage invoices. These invoices are generated via HTML and CSS that is fed through the print system via WebKit (ie: Safari) to produce PDFs. Currently ProfitTrain ships with two invoice templates, both plain looking, one setup to utilize windowed envelopes.
In the next update I’d like to ship ProfitTrain with some more invoice template options and am currently looking to commission a few designers to help me out. My goal is to commission 2-4 designers and have them come up with 2-3 templates each.
As a designer this is a unique opportunity to fully take advantage of the CSS declarations only seen in WebKit without a need to worry about working in other browsers. It also brings an air of complexity as invoice templates need to be flexible in showing/hiding various bits of data depending on the state of the invoice as well as the type of the line items.
For more information on the current template bundle format please check out the help book article Creating an Invoice Template.
I also get requests time to time from customers who want a custom invoice template but do not have the HTML/CSS knowledge to make it themselves. If you are a designer who does freelance work this could be an opportunity to get a some small focused projects.
If you are interested in working on some templates please send an email to mike@clickablebliss.com with a link to a portfolio of your work and a price quote. Due to the small scope of this project I would prefer fixed price quotes.
