I got a little nervous when tasked with putting up a complex website for Louisiana's 200th year anniversary and only a week to do it. At the end of the week, the site was to be unveiled at a travel summit. There was no wiggle, just 168 hours and counting down fast. My web team was locked up with projects and did not have the design skill to do the project quickly. I remembered that we had worked quickly and smoothly with Paul at the Designsmith on a website for CISD a few years past. I gave Paul a call and enlisted his assistance. He did the impossible and whipped the site into shape with 24 hours to spare. The Department and the Bicentennial Commission are delighted with the site. Several mentioned how much they enjoyed working with Paul. They were also pleased with his reasonable rates and willingness to work nights and weekends to complete the project. Several of my colleagues have approach me with requests their sites, maintenance, facelifts and hosting be transferred from other web design firms to Paul.
Doug Bryant, IT Director - OLG/DCRT
Paul was very helpful with creating a brand for my company. He has a great approach of taking what a company does a portraying that in logo and website graphics. He listened to what our company offers as well as what we wanted it to look like in a logo and website. Being a designer myself I really appreciated the way Paul took care of the client(me) throughout the entire design process. I would highly recommend using Paul for any of the services he offers. You get what you want when it is all over. That's true customer service.
Jeb Barber, Managing Partner - Makaira Design + Build
Paul is knowledgeable and very timely on the projects we have requested. Asks detailed questions and make sure we are taking advantage of what is available.
Andy McGinty, EVP/COO - LIPCA Insurance
Have used Paul at The Designsmith twice on two different websites and have gotten great results both times. He listens to what my needs and ideas are and incorporate them in the design while ensuring it will meet my expectations.
Brad Price, Attorney - The Price Law Firm
Paul gets design concepts quickly and gets them done. He is very responsive to the needs of the customer, and he listens to what WE want. He also has maintained our site with great care and attention, suggesting reasonable and necessary upgrades and protections that are critical in today's online environment. Paul is friendly and genuinely cares about how our site looks and functions, and he is always there to help.

Paul Miller, The Designsmith, is an outstanding web site designer who has built two excellent sites that have been very good for my business. Lapolitics.com, launched in 2002, has stood the test of time by continuing to look and work very well. Howtogetelected.com, in 2011, achieves the very professional look that befits the national audience it aims to attract.. Paul works quickly to offer and modify design ideas, collaborating with me at every step. He has a strong sense not only of what looks good but what sells.
John Maginnis, Publisher - LaPolitics Weekly / How to Get Elected
Working with Paul to develop our new website was a great experience. Working with other designers is not always easy, but Paul listened to our preferences, made suggestions to improve them, and then implemented the ideas beautifully. He was always available to answer questions and was extremely responsive to phone calls and emails. Overall, the experience could not have been better! I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to create a website!
Zach Broussard, Project Manager - Jeffrey Carbo Landscape Architects
As the author of the book "Smell The Popcorn: 12 Life-changing Secrets to Pop to the Top," I wanted an updated logo that would really 'POP!' Not only did Paul create a logo for my speaking business but also designed a brand for 'Pop to the Top' concept. I keep getting lots of praise for the new look logos. Paul understood what my business needed more than I did myself. Thanks Paul.
Jerry LePre, Principal - Inspirational Speaker
Paul was given pieces and parts of information and photographs over several months and he masterfully melded it all into the website that we had envisioned. I appreciated his patience, suggestions, light humor and guidance throughout the entire process. He mastered the project flow wonderfully, hit all of the deadlines and gave soft reminders of what would or should be addressed for upcoming milestones. Staying on time and on budget were very important factors. A pleasure to work with and superbly knowledgeable in his field, I would recommend Paul for your marketing, website and other IT projects.

The Designsmith has proven to be one of our most valued resources and sales tools at No Fault Sport Group. Paul continues to impress me with timely reponses to our many requests and his overall knowledge of the hidden "nuances" of the internet. In the ever changing world of the internet, it is comforting knowing that the Designsmith is a part of our team!
David Brantley, Owner / President - No Fault Sport Group, LLC
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work The Designsmith has done for LIPCA Insurance Agency during the past year. Based on that work, I enthusiastically recommend The Designsmith as an effective partner in the ever critical area of website design and development. Ultimately the look and feel of a website is the measure of a website designer, and the results speak for themselves! The Designsmith has performed exceptionally well and based on these results, LIPCA will continue to be a key partner in the future.
Allen Herring, IT Manager - LIPCA Insurance Angency
As a start up company in 2001, PetroSafe contacted The Designsmith to help us with the original design of our website. Not knowing where to start, Paul shared some great ideas with us, and after only a few days ... we were up and running. Paul was extremely easy to work with and he managed to keep our startup costs within our budget. After we were in business for few years, we again contacted the Designsmith to help with the design of our on-line student registration and credit card payment system. Once again ... Paul came through for us with an excellent system that will even allow us to enter and update our upcoming training events with an easy to use administration page that is linked to our website. We receive a lot of positive comments on our website design and we strongly recommend that you let the experts at The Designsmith design you website.
Carl Anderson, CFPS, President - PetroSafe Technologies
My new company needed a web presence, but I feared I would have to engage a web designer in a far off locale who didn't speak my language. I was introduced to the Designsmith by an old friend. The professionals at the Designsmith coordinated our needs; facilitated the necessary communication, and offered a vision of a final product. They turned it into reality seemingly overnight. I can't report being happier with a vendor in years! Their work was prompt, professional and poised. And when I have had changes to my site -- as I'm sure all web customers do -- the Designsmith has handled them in the same manner. I am a satisfied customer.
Jefferson Angers, President - Center for Coastal Conservation
After interviewing several companies, we chose to work with The Designsmith's-Paul Miller for our website re-design. Mr. Miller looked at what we had and listened to what we wanted, which was a "custom design". He created and delivered a website that actually worked for us and our customers. Paul always responded quickly to any concern with a "Can Do" attitude which we appreciated. We would highly recommend his company and continue to work with him today.
Damon Levy, Owner - Cyclone Laundry & Internet Cafe
I am extremely impressed by the efficiency and creativity exhibited by the DesignSmith. They created a high quality product for us with minimal hassle on a very tight time schedule. The best web design experience I've had in all my years in the political internet communications business.
Patrick Bergeron, President - Category 5 Communications
Our company has worked with The Designsmith now for almost one year. When we began we had an idea of the look and feel we wanted for the website. There was very little knowledge on our part of what getting to that point involved. Paul made this process very simple. After a couple of brief meetings he began design and we were able to actually see what the site looked like as it was developed. We launched the site in July of 2008 and since that time we have had absolutley no problems of any kind with our website. We have recieved many positive comments from our customers about the new appearance and ease of use of the new website.
Curtis Ainsworth, Director of Operations - Multiple Teaching Systems, Inc.
Paul has built all of my websites. Being a designer myself I appreciate Paul's attention to detail. I will use him for years to come!
