Beautiful Invoice Designs

Part of the process of working with any client is eventually sending an invoice. However, keep in mind that the invoice payment doesn’t mark the end of the relationship. It’s important to realize that an invoice is like any communication with the client – and it needs to be delivered in a on-brand and professional way.

Ronin‘s default invoices are meant to be stylish and modern with general appeal. There is also the more “old-school” print-ready template optimized for black & white printing as well as double-window envelope spacing.

While these templates were designed specifically for a professional look, it might not speak enough to the brand of the business. For this purpose, Ronin users have used the custom template system to create some very uniquely designed invoices.

Default

The default templates serve two purposes: the print-ready PDF template emphasizes the company branding as well as providing a clean table layout for invoice items. The print-ready snail mail template emphasize the placement and positioning of the From and To fields to correspond to the dimensions of a double-window envelope.

Cornish Web Solutions

Cornish Web Solutions (www.cornishwebsolutions.co.uk) needed a complete invoice design that matches their branding and unique style. The primary copy placed via a prominent graphic conveys a personal and inviting tone. Note that Cornish have decided to replace the default invoice column headers with terminology that matches their business and the way the work with their clients.

Carla Madden

Carla Madden (www.carlathecopywriter.com) asked her designer Harley Peddie (www.designedafterhours.com) to create an invoice design customized for her:

When it came time to create an invoice, I wanted the design to match that of the website. Because I freelance across various industries, I needed a varied selection of invoice images. We chose Ronin because it featured everything we needed in terms of invoice functionality. Plus, it allowed us to heavily customize the design.

The photograph center-piece on the invoice changes corresponding to the Invoice Subject entered in Ronin. Very clever!

Saidur Hossain (http://www.saidur.com)  has this to say about his invoice design:

I am a designer/developer who likes to get to the point, and my invoice does just that. The main thing my clients want to know are “How much?” and “How do I pay?” So right after I answer the first question I give them all the options for payment. Thanks to Ronin’s powerful template system, I was able to put the payment button right on the page and even use Google Fonts to render the dynamic text.
