Most of you already noticed: the completely revamped website of the EEI Platform. During the past years our website developed into that place to discover the latest developments, insights and discussion on electronic invoicing and invoice automation. And now, after three years of loyal service, it was time for something new.
We hereby officially introduce a site that is branded towards the current needs and future developments in this field. The site is now also a snug part of a family of websites facilitated by the E-invoicing Trust Foundation: the E-invoicing Checklist and E-invoicing Toolbox.
The biggest changes: an overview
Before we head over to some nice screen shots of the website, we show a list of the biggest changes:
- Logo: From green/blue/round to white/orange/computer
- Name: E-invoicing Platform instead of EEI Platform
- Tone of voice: The character has changed into just a tad more animated and opinionated. This is a tricky one, because oh my – some of us are itchy…
- Geographical coverage: We’ll cover the entire world now
- Streamlining: E-invoicing Checklist and E-invoicing Toolbox
- Target group: Our content will be more focused towards end-users, helping them converting to electronic invoicing and accounts payable automation
- Search engine optimisation improvements: lots of them
So, now that this is out of the way, it is time to take a look at the newest functionalities:
Homepage (click to enlarge)
As you can see, the entire homepage received an overhaul. At the top you see the featured articles: items of which we – in our humble opinion – think are relevant. The regular – but of course still very important – headlines follow below.
Take a look at the left side and discover our categories and an overview of our respectable members. Now, head over to the right and see what articles are most read. We also offer you an overview of events on electronic invoicing and invoice automation.

Besides the homepage, we also revamped the post layout. Because we believe that each of our 1.100 posts from our 32 members deserves to be a proper landing page. We altered the layout according to the homepage and added possibilities to enrich the content with images, links and other media.
Our members enable us to deliver our ambition to promote the best practices and adoption in electronic invoicing and invoice automation and distribute them to end users. This is why we created an author box next to each item. By clicking the author box, you will get an overview of the accomplishments of the author. Kinda neat we think.
Member profiles (click to enlarge)
In the previous version, the member profiles were part of the EEI Community. You could do neat stuff with these profiles. But because no one did, we removed the EEI Community. We now present our LinkedIN group as a community.
We turned the profiles in a beautiful overview of SEO optimised accomplishments. Furthermore, you can easily access the profiles from the homepage. Of course they are highlighted as an author box right next to an article from one of our authors: our members.
Just take a look at a random profile. There you can experience the start of our profile philosophy:
- Company description
- Company logo
- Company contact details
- Website screenshot
- Twitter stream (where applicable)
- Latest headline
- All headlines
- All events
- We plan some nice new features in the near future
Conclusion
So, we are overjoyed and delighted. Delighted that weeks of hard work have come to an end and overjoyed by the result(s).
But what about you, do you like the changes? Are you missing something? Where do you see room for improvement? Just let us know, we’re curious!
