A few suggestions: - Links should look like links, not like regular text. Don't make ask myself "I wonder if that's a link". - Editing the rate was non-intuitive. It seems like an overuse of AJAX. The user should know when something has happened, it shouldn't catch the user by surprise. If you really want to be clever with AJAX, then at least change something in the page to let the user _know_ that he has updated something. Case in point: I couldn't figure out where you edited the rate. There was no clear link "Edit rate", just the rate box. When I clicked on it, nothing changed, but I could edit it. I wasn't sure if I had to push something to make the update "stick". So I typed (by accident) "5443" and that automagically changed the rate to "5443.00" per hour, but I didn't know that until I refreshed the page. - A "Date" should be a date and look like a date, not a timestamp. Dates don't have time. - I just went back after a couple minutes, and it's now giving me a 403 error.
