I searched around a lot and found that for simple online invoicing BillMyClients.com offered the most versatile and elegant system, at a reasonable price. So I signed up and spent the weekend entering all my client data and current invoice info. However, when I sent a practice invoice to myself today (the day that I was scheduled to send out 30 invoices), none of the customization I'd gone to a lot of trouble to create showed up on the invoice, my logo was missing, and the file was so messed up that I'd NEVER send it to a client. After trying hard to troubleshoot it on my own, I sent an email to their tech support, and I left 3 (THREE!) phone messages on their support line. I never heard back from them at all. I now have 30 invoices that could not go out on time. So the parts of the product that work are great, but major parts of the product don't work and there is NO customer support. You're left twisting in the wind alone.
