Critique this wireframe
Having my designer redo the Billr backend UI with a focus to make it look as nice as competing software, and making it easier to navigate etc. We're currently at the wireframe stage and I've been sent this. What do y'all think and what improvements can you suggest?
Thanks in advance.

I love it so far James
Looks fab. Tell your designer that they're doing a great job.
I like it
Looks quite nice. The two criticisms I'd cast, however:
Congratulations on the name change, by the way
Thanks everyone.
Will ask her to do that.
Good point. How should we make it clear that the top bar is a submenu? Or will it be clear enough when there's content there?
I'd imagine something like the sidebar overtaking the top menu, instead of the other way around. As in, the sidebar protruding entirely up to the green bar at the top, "overlaying" the bar with the submenu. It'll probably need some more modifications to really make it look nice, but that would probably make a big difference in how it's interpreted.
EDIT: The trick is to make people look at the main menu first, and only then notice the submenu bar.
You could do that by just changing the font colour slightly - The main menu font being slightly darker than the submenu.
Also, I'm guessing there'll be tooltips and modals flying around too?
Whilst I do love minimalism, having contextual helpers when needed is always nice
I've asked her to move the menus around as well as look at the fonts.
Hopefully, yes. I do want to make the software as easy to use as possible and I think tooltips in particular will be a part of that.
Looks really good, I like it.
Two things i'd personally change - One, make the green background a solid (or simple gradient) colour rather than a striped-affair; Two, get rid of the top-menu (difficult to distinguish the two menus) and use expanding/collapsing sub-menus on the sidebar.
Both otherwise, i really like that!
When do you hope to get this implemented to Billr? Also do you have a demo of the current system?
I like it.
Looks good , would've looked more appealing in some other colour shade sans green.
Thanks everyone. I've already given my designer the go-ahead to carry on with a few simple changes that @joepie91 mentioned.
Sometime next month. I'll be working hard over the Christmas holiday to get v2.1 out, which will include:
PM sent.
Windows 8 theme + Jquerymobile + Jquery UI + All boot strap themes.
another thread about your billing ?
why not just post on your old thread/post?
Not a huge fan of the logo, it's a bit out of proportion (i.e. too big) + I think something that's purely white might work better (i.e. Example here but in black: http://bufferapp.com/)
why not just post on your old thread/post?
Probably because he's asking for feedback on something in particular, and a lot of people would miss that if he just revived an old thread and the start post had nothing to do with it.
The whole "why not just use the existing thread" does not really make sense for any thread that has gone beyond page 2 or so.
The outline of the book next to the logo definitely needs to be defined a bit more, cant really tell what it is unless I really looked at it...
It seems like it's a 3d looking open textbook? But other then that, the design looks pretty neat I do say so myself, whoever created this, mad props.
Edit: They better be getting pampered because unique designs like this are extremely rare.
I thought it was a wallet
They're getting paid about $2000 for the whole project, so quite a bit. But if the general consensus is it's good, useable work then I think it's worth it
never thinking about that before thanks
I just thing he's doing 'hidden' promotion here.
Not really. People here aren't really my target customers.
Problem is I'm working alone on this and need some people to bounce ideas off, which is where the forums come in.
I'm upfront when I'm promoting - this isn't WHT after all
