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.

When the staff at ROBO Dock & Door decided it was time to design a new website... we realized we had plenty of choices. Although the idea of doing the project in house was tempting, we new that ultimately we did not have the extra time to invest in such a project and we knew we wanted to get the project done quickly and professionally. Turning to the multiple choices in design companies, we chose The Designsmith and Miller Studios. Their ability to understand our goals and ideas precisely led to the design and roll out of a website that not only met but exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend The Designsmith to anyone or any company looking for a professional looking website.
David Little, Vice President - ROBO Dock & Door
We love the new website! The new design is fabulous! I am glad The Designsmith was able to organize all of our information and make it easier to find what people are looking for. I also LOVE how easy it is to update the website. I can put in new information or update existing info, click submit, and "poof" it is updated in the site!! Thanks for all of your help along the way too!! You are easy to work with and I appreciate your patience while I learned my way around the admin tools.
Lisa Thomas, Board Member - GBRCTA
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.
It is always tough to pull together a group of people who need to agree to one idea for a website to accurately represent their business. I found that Paul really understood our vision and continued to give us ideas until we were satisfied. Once we were ready to pull the trigger on the project, Paul consistently followed up to make sure we completed it! We are very pleased and highly recommend his company.

I want to thank Paul @ the Designsmith for taking my website out of the stone age. He did an amazing job!! The site is easy to navigate for which we have already had complements on. I would recommend Paul to any of my friends looking to revamp or do minor updates to their sites. Very professional to detail. Myself being someone that has never done any of this type of work before, Paul took the baby steps with me until I caught on. Again thanks to The Designsmith for such an amazing site I have now.

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
We hired Paul Miller to do an overhaul on our website. We are very pleased with the finished product--it's attractive, easy to navigate and the cost was well within budget. I enjoyed working with Paul - he's pleasant, patient and professional. I was especially impressed with how responsive he was and how quickly he took care of whatever I needed. Overall it was a great experience! I would use him again and I would recommend him to others.

To you folks that have avoided developing a web page for varioius reasons (lack of knowledge, expense, concearns regarding "what do I need", and other awkward questions), Mr. Paul Miller of The Designsmith will alleviate all trepidations. Lack of comfort with other web developers delayed us in launching Premier Constructors website for two years. However, after our initial meeting, Paul was prepared inside three weeks to launch our site. Don't you lose multiple years deciding!! Paul's ability to design, create, recommend, alter, and remain flexible with your ideas - and his quick response time - made this adventure painless.
Joe O'Banion, President - Premier Constructors, Inc.
Paul Miller is easy to work with and shows a true interest in his clients' businesses. I have received many compliments on the website he designed for me. It is also easy to maintain and update.
John Maginnis, Principal - Louisiana Political Review
We are so grateful for your experience, expertise, and patience and are so proud to call this work of art and science our own!!! Thank you for every word of encouragement and advice we have seen for ourselves why those four references I called in the beginning wouldn't let me off the phone and kept singing your praises about how good and how fast you are. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We agree that you really are the best in town.
Ruth Vincent, Partner - American Integrity Insurance
I was very pleased with The Designsmith's creativity and ability to adapt the web design to our business' practical needs. A job well done!
Jeff Starkey, Operations Manager - Iberville Companies
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
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 designed my website and logo and created beautiful business cards as well. Throughout the design process, Paul was readily available to answer questions and make suggestions. He also suggested my website name which is perfect for a visual artist working in graphite and drawing (excuse the pun) inspiration from my garden. Thanks to Paul's experience and expertise my website is easy for me to administer and for patrons to navigate. In addition to designing the site, he also gives me ideas for improving my Google ranking. I highly recommend The Designsmith. Throughout the process, Paul was very patient and professional while continually amazing me with the wealth of knowledge he brings to the process.
Marge Campane, Visual Artist/Owner - Graphite Garden
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 did a great job of taking our information and transforming into a professional and attractive website. We were very pleased with his work and timely manner in handling all our needs.
Suzanne Kimball, Owner - Louisiana Praline Company
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
Our company chose The Designsmith for the design of our company website. Paul was phenominal to work with. He created a website design that worked perfect with the image of our company and our profession. I have, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for professional design services.
