First thing that hit me was "wow great design." I actually am looking for a designer for my next project. Could I contact you/metalabs about it?

Looks a lot like campaignmonitor.com.

  Not really, I think this layout is just very common for apps like these.

    I'm sure he knew that, given how http://userfly.com http://userfly.com looks - the layout is pretty much a de facto standard. I think cte is pointing out specifically the color scheme and buttons, etc.

Agreed. I don't need the product but I would hire that designer.

The same goes here. First word "WOW", then in my head "Nice design".

Heh, too funny. I was thinking the same thing - nice design.

btw, MetaLab designed the http://280slides.com http://280slides.com landing page (not 280slides itself though) and http://280north.com http://280north.com

Disclaimer: I'm the author of http://www.roninapp.com http://www.roninapp.com (also an invoicing app) The designer for ballpark is definitely top-notch - the folks over at metalabs are good at what they do. Keeping invoicing sexy is something that is hard to do (but we're trying our best as well!) Congrats on the launch - I'm sure the folks over at FreshBooks (who are the obvious market leaders) are taking notice at all these invoicing/time-tracking apps hitting the market (cashboard, invoicemachine, letsfreckle, among others). It certainly speaks for how far we've come in Rapid Development and how accessible good UX/design has become.

  Ronin looks cool! We're glad to have some solid competition, and FreshBooks could really use some.

    Hey Andrew, Lu, We do take notice. It's good to see a lot of other apps come into the market with different ideas and approaches. It's definitely no good to end up in a market of one. P.S. Andrew, it's too bad we didn't hook up when I was out in Victoria last summer. Are you coming to Toronto any time soon, by any chance? Lu, similarly, I was just in SFO in January but I didn't reach out. My bad. Next time I'm down, shall we have a beer? -- Sunir, Chief Handshaker, FreshBooks

      I'm so impressed by that whole conversation between competitors. I'm speechless. Best of luck to all of you...

      Hey Sunir, I'm not planning to, but fire me an email (andrew@metalabdesign.com) so I can get your contact info. I'd love to get a coffee sometime. -Andrew
